Also, I know we are not supposed top talk about episodes 10& 11 (even though they have aired in the UK), but episode 10 was pretty darn cool, and episode 11 features the return of another classic VA. Cant wait for the "mid season" finale next week.
Didn't you hear what Hasbro just said during the interview with TFormers in the video clip that was posted recently? They said that Robots In Disguise is still far from over than previously thought, and that season 3 is coming this fall. Remember, there is no such thing as half season. Either the producers choose to air the season fully or officially cancel it. End of story! Which begs us one question, if Steeljaw is finally caught, will he return again for season 3, now that has been officially confirmed by Hasbro? And should Steeljaw gets killed in the same way as Megatronus did, will their be another Decepticon that will finally become his successor? Of course, that's not Megatron, since that he's officially done for the series.
If there is really season 3, will there be brand new Autobots that will have animal-robot modes and vehicle modes in the same way as the Decepticons did?

A half Season is defined as what Agents of Shield and Agent Carter have done for Marvel, in that a show has a Fall to early Winter block of programming, then by producer's choice stops on a mid season cliffhanger and takes an extended break for new Spring Shows and or seasonal events like Daytona and March Madness before resuming again in May as a continuation of the same plot. This does twnd to be a precursor to a show getting cut to 13ep full seasons, but the order is for 26 or however many. Usually, a Half Season has an entirely different show airing in its time slot, while a short hiatus is just a bunch of reruns of the same showpsj333 wrote:o.supreme wrote:So...if there are more episodes coming...wouldn't that be the second half of season 2, not season 3...

USA Network is also notorious for this. Makes shows very hard to follow cause you don't know when they will come back

The definition of a TV season is not as sharply defined as it once was, and every network seems to be following a different pattern. Ultimate Spider-Man Season 3 (subtitled Web-Warriors) was a total of 26 episodes, but aired over a 15 month period from August 2014 to October 2015. The rules of a TV season we all *think* apply are not in any way shape or form, uniform.
If you go on Amazon, several "full" seasons of TV programs are broken up as "different" seasons because what Amazon considers to be a "full" season is different than what the network considers.
All semantics aside, I'll wait until official word from Hasbro comes as to what the future holds.

What Amazon does with seasons is called "Immoral"
It probably has something to dovwith how they purchase the rights to episodes but to pass it to customers the way they have is vold.

It says he had another name, so if they went with this design, he probably wouldn't have been called Grimlock.

Which is pretty odd, this is basically the character that was replaced by Grimlock rather than an early Grimlock concept.

Basically.
If I had to guess, he was probably called Snarl, but if I found out he was Saberback or Striker, that'd be a ray of sunshine for me.

Personally, I would've preferred for the two to not be saddled with legacy character names - not out of a misguided sense of preserving the G1 iterations, but I just enjoy having entirely fresh characters fleshed out. Still, a well-recognized name is a powerful marketing tool, particularly post-Age of Extinction.

I know Fastlane is still the name of a pre-existing character, but at least they aren't as significant as Sideswipe - he's so obscure that the name Fastlane being applied would more make you think this is a new character rather than a new take on an old one, which the name Sideswipe does.
... show's still fine, just a nitpick

Reckless jock type, disobeys orders, enjoys fighting opponents, stubborn competitive spirit, willing to cheat if he needs to, used to be even more brash and underhanded than he is for his own gain, has matured a little bit thanks to his time fighting with his Autobot teammates, no longer thinks only of himself, tends to jump carelessly into danger...
Sure sounds like RID Sideswipe to me.
If anything, it was most G1 fiction that never got Sideswipe right until this cartoon did.

"The severely outnumbered Autobots on Decepticon Island desperately search for a way to stop Steeljaw and his army. Tensions between Bumblebee and Optimus could put the mission, and the entire world, at risk."
When Hasbro said, "severely outnumbered," does that means Steeljaw would form a huge army from both Glowstrike's members and as well from the scrapyard? Because you know, sometimes, Glowstrike's members is simply not enough to create Steeljaw's Ultimate Decepticon Army.

Glowstrike's ship is kinda shown to have a ton of generics onboard, and in the first episode Fixit did say "a couple hundred more" prisoners had escaped, so...

seeing Prime in vehicle mode just gets me every time Stockade & his army of tough minicons(hup hup hup hup) were a formidable opponent for the Autobots, although i've no idea what sort of vehicle Stockade turns into great to see Drift's minicons being used by other Autobots(well....mostly Sideswipe)
all in all yet another fun episode

I agree about the minicon deployment. considering all the cons now seem to have a pair as backup, it's good to see the bots using it with their 2 minis

Agreed on episode 11. Favorite model of Minicon yet, I loved those guys! Also, not to sound like a certain uber-fan, but what the heck was Stockade supposed to be based on? It looked like either a packrat or a kangaroo
Going out on a limb, some kind of rodent. That thing was weird. And at first I thought he'd be Scatterspike too!
probably an armadillo

True, I would've loved to have seen some original Autobots introduced to the public. When I say original, I mean ones that aren't recognized as Transformers by the common fan.

Well, like, Simacore was based one an orangutan, a highly intelligent animal, that paired well with his "genius" personality. Or Octopunch and Hammerstrike being sort of like pirates whilst having sea based alt modes. I don't see the correlation between an armadillo and a drill sergeant

There were only cartoon panels at BotCon where members from the cartoons' production staff were present. Hasbro Studios was not in attendance of BotCon this year, hence there was no RID cartoon panel.o.supreme wrote:ok...so I know in the past at BC they have always had panels dedicated to whatever animated series was currently in production, or airing.

Decepticon Island was a pretty great finale, and definitely much much much more satisfying than Season 1's finale. You get some pretty nice action and the story ties up pretty neatly - though I'm surprised at the break of the Status Quo with having Steeljaw and... EVERY other decepticon in stasis and apparently going back to Cybertron. Talking of Status Quo, it's really sad to see Ratchet go since we just got him - and before we got a chance to learn pretty much anything about Undertow. Would've been nice if Glowstrike and Saberhorn were able to escape and be the new main villains, and have Ratchet along for the ride to get development episodes for him and Undertow, maybe Toolbox as well... plus we're back to the original team + Drift and the mini-cons. OH WEEEEEEEEELL. I'm sure Season 3 or the second half of Season 2 or whatever'll be nice anyway, maybe we can finally get closure on Shockwave or Predaking or whatever. And hey, two new decepticon hunters - one each for Grimlock and Drift. Nifty. Also, the whole thing Ratchet said about being forced off planet is... interesting, as it seems to mirror Optimus being forced off in IDW's Death of Optimus Prime. Are we literally going to go down the same route of IDW? Is this what happened to Starscream in the end??? Would be fun to see a new spin-off with Optimus, Ratchet, Undertow, Toolbox and Windblade tackling this in a similar manner to Beast Machines gotta admit. And hey... if this is true, I wanna see what happened to the other 5 members of Team Prime. And Knock Out.
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on April 17th, 2016 @ 12:15am CDT
So I very much liked how the ending was portrayed. Steeljaw did prove to be a very worthy adversary, and he was frighteningly amazing with his role in the finale. I wish for more Ratchet and Undertone as I really liked those characters.
Also: Ratchet's captured prisoner goes unnamed or even unseen......
As for where we go from here. Well, it could be that the rest of the team heading back home will be encountering and looking into cybertron, and maybe we will see more of team prime there. Optimus may find something suspicious and somehow the new council may be old decepticons or something. And ther rest of team will be establishing a more permanent base, and maybe face other cons that have not been captured. I doubt that was truly all of them on that ship.
I'm also looking forward to seeing if Drift and Grimlock do get decepticon hunters. Drifts would turn into his great sword from IDW and Grimlock his flame sword (I wish). Also be interesting to see if the minicons that the toyline will soon be focusing on will be added into future episodes. I have confidence that this show will be lasting for a while longer yet
