Big news for those waiting on the new Robots in Disguise: Combiner Force cartoon: The European schedule for the upcoming season has been released. Thanks to Regular Capital we have proof that the new season will begin in Europe on Saturday, May 27, and will run through Saturday, July 8, with episodes airing every Saturday and Sunday in between at 2pm.

Something interesting about this reveal is that there is only room for 13 episodes in this lineup, meaning that either this season will only be 13 episodes longer, with 13 more to show up at a later date, or this season will be split in half, with another 13 episodes arriving later in the year.

Speculate below on what you think will come out of this new season, and whether or not there will be a 5th season or just 2 parts of a 4th season!

1) We had confirmation that there were 26 more episodes of RiD to come:

https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... 1st/37625/

2) Sabr, if you would look, the news story had been updated a while ago with the proper date, as "May 7" was meant to be "May 27" and was corrected accordingly

Thanks to an email from Hasbro themselves, we have confirmation that the US air date for the long anticipated season 3 of Robots in Disguise will begin airing on April 29! The cartoon, which has had air dates continuously listed and pushed back, appears to finally be getting underway, and will feature Team Bee facing off against all kinds of combiner, as we have team combiner renders for Ultra Bee and Menasor and the new opening sequence which features a crash combiner. Get ready for all the combiner action as the new season arrives in just 11 days, and make sure to catch up on Seasons 1 and 2 on Cartoon Network!

Interesting...there was this entry on Wikipedia yesterday, which has since been removed...of course you don't believe everything you read, but...

Season 3: Combiner Force (2017)

This season is subtitled "Combiner Force" and was originally slated to start airing in January 2017. However, as of April 13 2017, that hasn't happened. UPDATE: 4/16/17 : The Season will debut Saturday , april 29th at 6:30 , 5:30 CST. Two Episodes will play respectively on Saturday from 6:30-7:45. The Series entirety will most likely continue in Saturday pre-morning death slot, and there is no clarification if this will be the final season or not, fans may only hope for the best. Written Respectively by Jim Douglas , Nick Digital co-designer as well as a supervising co-director of the bee movie , I also am an animator on Ratchet and Clank: BTN, production of a ratchet and clank 2 movie will not be possible said my old friend , steven smitz, the head character designer of the game , the movie simply flopped due to a generational shift that concurred , said my head manager when it released. Also , I am a supervising writer for an upcoming steven universe episode , "Are You My Dad" premiering May 18th at 7:00 , they didn't count me as a cameo because I simply am not very famous and little to no productions make me easy to find. On Google Play , however , they show my name as my respective role so that will confirm what I'm saying. Some Spoilers for the new steven universe episode , humans get abducted by the diamonds for the zoo and there will be some HUGE character development , believe me , they allowed me to attend the pitch of the episode "I am My Mom" back in October 2016 back when production began, and that episode has a HUGE overarch. I am not allowed to say everything , but steven finds something that is REMARKABLE within the connection of Rose And Steven and this will influence how he may save the humans, SPOILERS: This isn't filler , it is an over-arch ,UPDATE SAME DAY DIFFERENT TIME: as of currently I am attending cal-arts the college , the reason I say this is because I was just told by nick brian , creator of pitch dionsysus for CN MENA and other respective European/Asian countries has informed me that there is to be no actual spoilers for it is prohibited online , hope I don't get in trouble for this.

No wonder that... thing was deleted. It just stops being about RID after the fourth or fifth line and just rambles about nonsense for rest of it.

Not officially, no.

'Course, no one knew that Rescue Bots Season 4 would be the last season of that show until after it was over.

In several Combiner Wars Designer's Desk videos, John Warden kept saying the last syllable in Menasor's name with more of an "au" sound instead of an "oh" sound, before the R.

As we know, season 3 (the actual season 3) of Transformers: Robots in Disguise will be arriving on Cartoon Network at the end of the month - we also now have a trailer for the next step in the animated series! Featuring Soundwave's voice, Blurr, Stunticons, and even more Combiners - via ComicBook.com.

video


It's bad enough when you have to deal with the Decepticons year in and year out, but when they start combining into gargantuan versions of themselves things become even more stressful.

That's the premise of the third season of Transformers: Robots in Disguise, which will hit Cartoon Network on April 29th. Bumblebee's squad of Autobots will have to figure out how to work together to take down the new threat, but the Decepticons aren't going to make it easy. In fact, the only way to beat them might require for the Autobots to do some combining of their own.

Many of your favorite Autobots are making a return, but there will be a few new faces joining the battle as well. Transformers: Robots In Disguise stars Mitchell Whitfield (Fixit), Khary Payton (Grimlock), Will Friedle (Bumblebee), Constance Zimmer (Strongarm), Darren Criss (Sideswipe), Stuart Allan (Russell Clay), Ted McGinley (Denny Clay), Eric Bauza (Drift), Rager Craig Smith (Jetstorm), and Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime).

You can view the synopsis for the new season below, and the new trailer for season 3 "combiner force" can be viewed above.

Created by Hasbro Studios, the series focuses on Bumblebee as the leader of the Autobots as they seek to save the Earth from the Decepticons.

The season 3 theme is “Combiner Force” and the Autobots and Decepticons will take the battle between good and evil to new heights with the creation of Combiners – teams of Transformers who combine forces to create larger, more powerful bots. Bumblebee and the Autobot team must learn how to fight the Decepticons when combined with one another and truly work as one.

Posted by Deadput on April 19th, 2017 @ 4:50pm CDT
Ahhh finally a new Autobot.

This was my only initial problem with Prime while watching the show we only got 3 new Autobots in the entire 65 episodes and two of them were rather late in the show and the first was only around sometimes until season 3, I mean now I have more problems with Prime after talking about it with other fans on other sites but this part was still something that bugged me.

Hopefully Jazz, Windblade, Ratchet and Undertone come back and that we get Stormshot, Blastwave and Twinferno in the show at some point the latter three will probably be part of Optimus's group on Cybertron against the council or something.

The Warrior figure is tempting. I was talking more about those crash combiners battle packs. The RiD line has some gems even though there are some figures that lack details and are hollow. See the Overload Deployer - I swear he is lighter than some of the warrior figures even though he is a bigger toy.

Well, like Randomhero said, when Soundwave spoke in "Minus One" his voice did have the same vocoder effect that he does in this promo. It's ever so slightly heavier, but the vocoder effect has remained relatively consistent.

What I'd like to know, from anyone who bothered keeping up with Rescue Bots (*cough*Sabrblade*cough*), is if Blurr's voice is the same.

That's true, but that scene had a lot of weight and surprise to it because we'd gone over 50 episodes with Soundwave having never spoken. Because he never spoke that made the moment that much more significant; it gave his taunting and victory that much more memorability. It worked because it's something he never did.

While it's true we only hear him speak once in the trailer, the context kinda tells me it's not something he does particularly sparingly anymore. It's just very disappointing to see pretty much everything original, unique and fresh about the TFP version of Soundwave stripped away just to appeal to G1 nostalgia.

Oh no, wait, I mean, uh, as a return to how he was in the High Moon games. Yeah, that's definitely what they're going for and definitely why he looks like this.

That's exactly what I was going to say. One of the best parts of Soundwave's character in Prime was his eerie silence, it actually made him a bit terrifying. His one line was one of my favorites through the whole show. It's also going to be a bit weird since he didn't talk at all in the RiD episode where he came back from the Shadow Zone.

Yup the G1 Soundwave design and voice are really overused and I'm sick of him which is surprising because I don't mind Optimus Prime and Bumblebee that much even though neither are my fave characters since my brain is weird and never loves the main character of anything only side characters end up becoming my fave.

Also at least Prime and Bee do change in design sometimes outside of colors such as the difference between Animated Bee, Prime Bee and Rid Bee make him a bit fresher unlike Soundwave who has only ever had one role in his appearances as the loyal emotionless sound guy and is always the same now boring blue look.

Say what you will about movie Soundwave but at least his voice was a bit different without the vocoder and his design was different such as being a satellite in ROTF which makes a lot of sense and then in DOTM his car design was used to you know actually be a disguise and DOTM Soundwave's arm speakers were so bad ass I want to see them again.

Also his vocoder voice is so damn old and boring now as well as the fact I can't understand half the things he is actually saying because a communications officer with a vital role requiring communicating information should obviously not have a clear voice that everyone can understand.

IDW Soundwave right now has the best version of him ever even with the boring blue look.

If you guys can't tell I'm sick of Soundwave.

Okay, okay, guys! Sheesh. :P

Yeah, from what little we can hear in that clip, it does kinda sound like Max Mittelman is reprising his role as Blurr, thoughh Mittelman does have one of those voices that kinda sounds like a lot of people's voices. :oops:

Here's a video with a good amount of dialogue from Blurr in Rescue Bots. Y'all can compare his "I just did!" line from that video with how he sounds in this:



Though, of note is how Sideswipe knows Blurr in this trailer and distinctly uses the word "rescue".

As for Soundwave's voice, Frank Welker used the same Dr. Claw voice for G1 Soundwave, ROTF/DOTM Soundwave, and Prime Soundwave. The difference between the three is just how much of a vocoder effect was placed over it. Here, it's used to a much greater extent than it was in ROTF, DOTM, and Prime.

Compare the following with each other:



Watch the beginning and end of the second video.

You stand two decepticons on top of each other, they'll find a way to combine.


I don't mind the vocoder effect on g1 and prime sounswave, but wfc, animated and this clip overdoes it. It's too difficult to understand him. I'm glad he didn't have it in the movies. Cybertron soundwave was... Borderline ok.

I noticed that too. We finally get an actual Rescue Bots character in another series and with a good generations toy! There is hope for the others!

"You have done well."

I never thought about it, but I guess his voice can be hard to understand. I still like it though. The silence thing was cool (they used it in IDW too) but it makes it pretty difficult to put him in a command position.


And I like things being different from G1, but when you're changing a character's voice, appearance, role, personality... and *not* as part of dynamic characterization (as in IDW, where Soundwave has become different with time)... there's only so many things you can change before it becomes clear you're just reusing the name for trademark purposes.
