Machines were building robot-babies, to replace other babies.
Everyone knows what happened next:

Yeah, the first hint of an actual enemy. Something this show is at risk of becoming abysmally boring without.
Say, I think I know who the enemy is! Who still has an axe to grind with the TF franchise in the wake of their last cartoon cancellation? And who has a supply of nanites? Cartoon Network! That's why they cancelled Generator Rex did a soft reboot to Ben 10 all of a sudden: the forced continuity implosion mixed Rex's world's nanites with the ones from Alien Swarm via the dimensional bridge Ben used to get to his world in the crossover, creating an omniversal singularity that allows CN to ship the hybrid nanites into rival networks' shows and f@#& them up! These nanites weren't all that effective if they couldn't act on organic matter or even overwhelm the power plant, so maybe Time Warner will find some way to act through the HUB's reruns of Batman cartoons next time.
No, wait, DC's superheroes aren't to blame; the HUB airing that wretched Superhero Squad cartoon is f@#&ing up their network far worse.
Think that's too far fetched? Remember, continuity is a battle waged in the hearts and minds of every fan, everywhere, every day! Whenever someone talks about Diaclone like it's actually TF history within the context of the fiction, whenever someone implies that Transformers and GoBots had actual battles in the mid-'80s, wherever Turkish Star Wars carries more weight in the minds of fans than the prequels, you too may already be one of the Space Thunder Kids.

Enemy? Who said anything about there being an enemy in this show? The dangers ARE the enemy. Them bringing in an actual villain (i.e. - a Decepticon) would be counterproductive to what this show's deal is. Sue, the nanites could be of Decepticon origin, but there's no need to actually bring any Cons into this show. It doesn't need any Decepticons anyway.Bumblevivisector wrote:Yeah, the first hint of an actual enemy.
Bite your tongue! This show is amazing! Granted, the Flobsters episode was probably the weakest thus far, but even it had a certain charm that Prime could only ever dream of acquiring. This show knows how to have fun, and how to excellently carry out characterization. And the unlimited amount of all kinds of fantastical dangers that can and will come about just add a superb layer of diversity and imagination to it all. There's all kinds of possibilities and opportunities that this show can spring forward, and I look forward to witnessing all of it.Bumblevivisector wrote:Something this show is at risk of becoming abysmally boring without.

And I said "at risk of" becoming boring, as in it hasn't happened...yet. It's just that despite their best efforts at variety, the pattern of the benevolent mad-scientist inventing something that leads to a problem is coming to dominate the majority of episodes. The implication that the can of nanites came from some other organization that might want to sabotage things on Griffin Rock seems to have added the necessary next layer to the dynamic of the show just in time to prevent that established routine from becoming dull.
And I didn't say 'Cons because I agree that they aren't needed here. I'm guessing it's some human organization out to sabotage all of the island's advanced tech, leading to an episode down the road where all human tech becomes unreliable, making sentient robots the only hope to avert disaster and restore order, forcing the bots to 'out' themselves to the rest of the town in a way that leads to their being accepted as the aliens they are. At least that's what I guessed the SETI dish episode (best one so far IMO) might be laying some groundwork for.

I'm DVRing it all myself, though I can't make it to Botcon.
I can't think of any other TF Christmas eps besides Human Error either, just UK comics. Though thinking back far enough, this one sounds pretty close to the premise of the Punky Brewster cartoon of the same name. No, I'm serious.
And if it turns out the Weather Dominator Pearl of Bahoudin machine was actually sabotaged, that subplot may be rolling again before we know it.

For continuity's sake, this better be referring to the robotic T-Rex from episode 1 and not THE Dinobots from FOC (as they haven't appeared yet and their full return in the present day is better suited to happen in TF: Prime).El Duque wrote:Courtesyof Zap2it we have the title and description for the May 12th episode of Transformers: Rescue Bots, "Return of the Dinobot".An intruder hacks into Griffin Rock's central computer and wreaks havoc.
Plus, it's only one "Dinobot" instead of "Dinobots". So, I'm hoping that it's referring to that robotic T-Rex.
Though, a hacking intruder, eh? Sounds like sabotage to me. Could this be linked with the mystery surrounding the Nanobots from before?

I think it'd be cool if it centered around another Iacon relic.
Or, hey, what if this island Cody's trapped on turns out to be Tatui, as some of hindsighted foreshadowing put into episode 5.
Man, the more I think about it, Rescue Bots is just leaps and bounds better at storytelling than Prime has ever been. We get a really great two-part beginning that actually feels like a beginning, followed by a small batch of seemingly filler episodes that establish the status quo and flesh out the characters, then comes a multi-episode story arc that culminates in an excellent two-part climax that really sets the bar high, and now we get a second story arc underway shortly after. That is magnificent.
By comparison, it makes watching Prime feel like a chore, since it's story seemed to drag on forever until it finally got to the point of an ongoing story arc in season 2.

Heatwave- Let's do this! What's the matter are you Cyberchicken?
Blades-I'm no Cyberchicken! I think...
Boulder- Well...it sounds like it might be fun...
Chase- *Watching them leave* Well I guess someone has got to follow along to make sure they don't get into trouble.

You're seriously one of the most seemingly insecure fans I've ever met. If you're still trying to defend your manliness after already making a hobby of collecting children's toys, then I don't know what to tell you.
Ever consider that the reason people are watching this show is because it's as good as they say? That it's not some kiddie show solely geared towards the same age range as its toyline? If this show was seriously about such meager nonsense as "saving kittens" or "education" and such, I probably wouldn't be watching it, much less enjoying it (far moreso than I am Prime, even), as I am now.

I'm betting he'll be like a special guest star for that episode, since he'll have to get back to Team Prime in Jasper, Nevada at some point.
It'll be funny to see how the others react to his beeping speech. I'd crack up at someone like Kade getting so frustrated at trying to understand him. "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!!!"

It'd still be a dropped concept in regards to the Prime cartoon. And since Rescue Bots will already be undergoing another overarching plot by the time BB shows up, it'd feel like Raf's subplot would be forced in and out of place in Rescue Bots. Not to mention that Raf would be uprooted from his home and family to go live on the other side of the country for no other reason than to be a plot device in a show that he wasn't a part of in the first place.Dr. Heavy B wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Not me.

It’s not insecurity. Its called street cred. It’s almost like religion in urban areas like Miami. When you live a certain lifestyle, there are some things you just don’t do. Would you call a Muslim insecure because he won’t eat pork? How about calling a Christian insecure because he doesn’t believe in abortion? I believe that “insecurity” is when somebody is afraid to stand up for their beliefs.
Back on topic, I trust your judgment so I will download rescue bots and give them a chance. My concerns were only because of the use of the word “rescue” in the title. It could be compared to the likes of “Rescue Heroes” or “Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers”.
Posted by Sabrblade on June 9th, 2012 @ 11:29pm CDT
When it came onto Kids WB!, Rescue Heroes was cool, since it made the stakes way higher than those episodes that aired on CBS. I think it was called "Rescue Heroes: GRT" by that point, so maybe it was the non-GRT episodes that weren't as good.Rated X wrote:Back on topic, I trust your judgment so I will download rescue bots and give them a chance.

But, yeah, Rescue Bots is greatly scarce in the PSA department. The use of the "Rescue" in the title is due to them being an emergency response team that faces all sorts of crazy disasters and accidents waiting to happen. The whole place is so danger prone that it simply would not survive without these guys coming in to keep it all from falling apart. I'm surprised the town's residents haven't yet packed up and moved away for the sake of their own safety.

I haven't been watching Rescue Bots, I watched the first episode and it was cute but definitely aimed at the younger end of the fandom and I just couldnt get into it. However, I think having two TF cartoons running simultaneously geared at two different age groups is a FANTASTIC idea for Transformers, *especially* if they crossover from time to time. It seems like the perfect way to bring over Rescue Bots viewers who are starting to get "too old" for the show. "Too old" for Rescue Bots is a misleading term (I'm all for older fans watching and enjoying Rescue Bots, I'm referring largely to the target audience). The point is that now children are not "too old" for Rescue Bots, they are "old enough" for TF:Prime. Having Bumblebee show up in Rescue Bots, where he will presumably at least mention his life and friends in Nevada will introduce children to the expanded TF universe and lead them straight into being TF:Prime viewers. Especially if Bumblebee shows up on Rescue Bots more than just this once. It introduces children to the idea of a story-within-a-story, Rescue Bots' small town within the larger world seen in TF:Prime. Of course, it also teaches the difference between the battle (Rescue Bots) and the war (TF:Prime).
Also, now we need Rescue Bots characters to cameo on TF:Prime.

Oh, and uh hi Bumblebee.
This sounds exciting and it MAY help pinpoint how closely tied Prime and Rescue Bots are.
Now why would Bee be in Griffin Rock? One logical answer might be escorting Raf. It is exactly the kind place that would host a science competition/exhibition that Raf would like to be a part of.
I could see Raf rolling into base with Bee. Jumping out and declaring that he had won first prize in the state science quiz/competition/essay contest and he was going to compete in the nationals. And where are they being held? Oh some little town on the East Coast called Griffin Rock. Cue Optimus to raise one optic ridge in surprise.
Pure speculation of course. The producers might not want to tie them too closely at this point.
But I be Raf would get along real good with Cody and Frankie. .....
