Good night.

Like, it's not even as if it was leaked; it was broadcast officially in the UK.

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

I'll look into it. The guy who added it tends to not post misinformation, but this has me skeptical. If it is wrong, I'm hoping he was just misinformed about it.

Just watched an interview with the hasbro team on youtube, where they confirmed that there is another block of episodes in the fall, so yes season 3 is coming. This also puts the one tweet about season 4 in a more believable light. Anyway, yeah more rid

Grimlock before Grimlock concept. He also had another name.

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?

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.

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.

"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.

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

Going out on a limb, some kind of rodent. That thing was weird. And at first I thought he'd be Scatterspike too!

Still, a well-recognized name is a powerful marketing tool, particularly post-Age of Extinction.

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.

Ah, that...doesn't make the slightest sense in terms of a theme, but okay!

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
