o.supreme wrote:that's why I said Cameo just like BB & Optimus (who appeared in TF Prime & RB synonymously) Windblade would likely only appear in a couple of episodes

o.supreme wrote:In her first RID episode, I believe Windblade appeared from a Space Bridge (don't quote me its been a few months since I watched it) But whether she was a new creation on Cybertron's Post-Prime era, or a returning Autobot from deep space is never really explained.

Also the time between the end of TF Prime, current RB, and Future RID is a little sketchy. I know they are all supposed to be in an "Aligned" continuity, but without details, and different people working on each show, I really don't think Hasbro cares too much, unfortunately.

o.supreme wrote:The key phrase in all of that of course being, Pre-School children. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad youngsters have a fun, entertaining, safe show that is well written they can enjoy, and it shouldn't be taken from them. It's just that as an adult fan who has supported the brand since the very beginning, I'd like a show I can enjoy as well. TF: Prime was a perfect example of this.

The Rescue Bots team, Chase, Heatwave, Blades and Boulder, and a family of first responders will do whatever it takes to protect both their home and the world. They learn that new technology can assist them in wondrous ways, but it can also have consequences if misused. Join the Rescue Bots team as experimental technology turns Cody into an adult, a space elevator strands Doc and Graham in orbit, a new invention causes the entire town to sing instead of talk and more!

I'm guessing Garfias's voice dropped, thus necessitating that Cody be a little older to avoid recasting him.

o.supreme wrote:I understand the hesitancy by S!F to release season sets because of the younger audience this is aimed at. But still...I know my son would love to have full season sets. This will be the 10th single disc DVD. By my count, only 49 episodes have been released (all DVD's together add up to 51, but S1E1 & S1E11 have been released twice). And seeing as how they are released by "theme" and not in chronological order, it causes fans who want the whole series to refrain from purchasing. Again...I know the show is for younger audiences. But I would think at some point, even if just on standard DVD, S!F would release season sets for those (like my son) who would want them.

Yes I now the whole series is on Netflix, but as we all know, things don't stay there forever.

Episode 79 (season 4, episode 1): "New Normal" - April 23, 2016 - Three years after their arrival on Earth, an alien attack forces the Rescue Bots to make a decision as to whether to reveal their true natures to the citizens of Griffin Rock.

Episode 80 (season 4, episode 2): "Bridge Building" - April 23, 2016 - The citizens of Griffin Rock are deciding whether or not to let the Bots stay in their midst when a GroundBridge accident splits the team.

Episode 81 (season 4, episode 3): "Arrivals" - April 30, 2016 - no description yet

Big news for Heatwave, Chase, Blades, and Boulder: in the fourth season of Discovery Family Channel’s Transformers Rescue Bots, the Autobots will not only celebrate their 100th episode, but they’ll get two new friends, including the first female Rescue Bot!

ER and Doctor Who’s Alex Kingston will guest star as Quickshadow, the first female Bot, while The Last Man on Earth and Bob’s Burgers star Kristen Schaal will provide the voice for another new Bot, Chickadee, in episodes airing later in Season 4.

The new season of the Emmy and Annie Award-nominated series premieres with back-to-back episodes on April 23. “New Normal” and Bride Building” finds the Rescue Bots forced to reveal their extraterrestrial backgrounds to the good people of Griffin Rock, when an evil alien group invades the town.

It’s up to the citizens to vote on whether or not the Bots get to stay in town, but, spoiler alert, since the rest of the season revolves around the gang completing construction of the cool new Mainland Training Center – as seen in the Season 4 trailer above – it’s probably safe to assume Heatwave and the gang will remain Griffin Rock presences for the foreseeable future.

Transformers Rescue Bots Season 4 premieres April 23 at 8 a.m. on Discovery Family Channel

Watch while you can:

I'm gonna sound like psj for saying this though, but trying to reconnect Rescue Bots, Prime, and RID15 is going to get painful. On the one hand, if 3 years have passed between season 3 and 4 and several months have lapsed between times Heatwave has seen Prime, since if he has been trying since Predacons Rising and THATS only been a few months, the presence of the older kids and the new Toddler would cramp the timeline.

So, theory 1) Three years since End of Prime, and the beginning of Rescue Bots. That means, give or take a few months, the three month Lapse that Heatwave has not been able to reach Optimus is not his death per the Wiki, but in fact the time span of the Season 2 Stealth team arc of RID15. By relation, that means season 1 of RID is ~2 years after the End of Transformers Prime, which does not necessarily contradict anything SAID by any series, but that does not feel like the implied timelines given how long Ratchet implied he was rounding up fugitives. Which is probably better discussed in RID, but this is the ongoing series now.

Theory 2)
Rescue Bots is still occuring during the Span of Prime. Predacons Rising gave the impression of events moving fairly quickly after the main series, but maybe there's enough stretch between the End of Prime and the beginning of the Movie, that Prime was able to build the Rescue Bots in Legacy before he left to rebuild Cybertron.

Theory 3)
We're all cray nutzo cookoo for still trying to fit square pegs in round holes after 3 seasons.

I love how the ALiens are using Zebra calls for their vocals. felt bad for the alien leader not getting soethign to eat, at least he could've been given a cow? Autobots should be nicer than that... nah.

I love how Huxley lost a bet to Neederlander. That was classic. She'd be the one to figure it out though, expecially after Riders of Midwinter, that's a lot of interaction with them.

That's why we posted episode links to watch 'em. Otherwise, they needn't come into this thread until they do see them.

Why? Why would you ever think that something so obscure and unknown by the general fandom would even be on the radar of this show whose target audience would barely even know who Megatron is? This is a not a show that dives that deep into obscurity.

Your expectations of Grandus are highly unrealistic, as the current team at Hasbro likely doesn't know who Grandus even is, let alone that he exists. The team who made Titan class Metroplex had never even heard of Metrotitan, who is just as obscure as Grandus.

Someone even said that the current Hasbro didn't even know what Beast Wars was until the fans had explained it to them.
