Looks like this'll be the first North American-made TF cartoon to air in English in a non-North American country before its U.S. or Canadian airdate. I bet a lot of folks will be watching online uploads before the first episode even reaches American shores.

That is why I called it pathetic. It is a Terrible Death Sentence of a Slot and they would of been better off staying on the Former Hub / Discovery Family.

Jesus. I mean, I don't have high hopes for this series to begin with, but that timeslot just seems unfair.

But on a different yet related note, March 14th?! Are you kidding me?! By that point the show will have already aired in China, France, Australia, the UK, and Germany. The very country that made the show won't even get it until after so much of the rest of the world will. Thanks a lot, CN!

Well, I didn't know what network it was premiering on. But it being on CN tanks any/all expectations I may or may not have had about it.
It sucks. It friggin' sucks. It *insert swear words here* sucks.

Bumblebee Takes the Spotlight in an All-New Animated Series from Hasbro Studios
Cartoon Network will unleash TRANSFORMERS: Robots in Disguise on Saturday, March 14 at 6 p.m. (ET/PT) with a special one-hour premiere event. The latest installment in the iconic franchise features an all new animation style, and builds upon the lore of the iconic Transformers franchise filled with great humor and lots of fun adventure for fans of all ages.
The new series begins as Bumblebee must step up to be a leader in the years after we left the Autobots in Transformers Prime. Summoned by Optimus Prime to save Earth from a new Decepticon threat, Bumblebee puts his light-hearted mettle to the test after assembling a rogue team of young Autobot action heroes. Bumblebee must balance his job fighting off evil with being equal parts squad leader and coach to a rascally band that needs constant coaxing to learn how to work together. The results are comical when the cool rebel Sideswipe, elite guard cadet Strongarm, bombastic dinobot Grimlock and overly-excited mini-con Fixit must balance keeping the team together with chasing and capturing their new enemies in every episode packed full of action, fun and adventure.
Following the premiere event, new episodes can be seen every Saturday starting on March 21st at 6:30 a.m. ET/PT.

I don't understand why they moved it from the Hub/Discovery Kids. Seems like a really dumb move, to be blunt.
Posted by Sabrblade on February 12th, 2015 @ 6:40pm CST
It's because Cartoon Network is more accessible to a wider amount of viewers. More kids watch CN than the Hub, so Hasbro Studios wanted the show on a channel that more kids (especially boys) watch. It's all due to exposure.Seibertron wrote:Metro Prime wrote:Man, that timeslot sucks. It's the same time they gave Transformers Animated, and look how that turned out!

Doesn't a horrible timeslot mean they won't get that exposure?

On the, honestly kinda depressing side, the average ratings for 6:30 am time slot on Cartoon Network is still 850,000 viewers.
Which is STILL better than The Hub's top new episode premiere ratings which averaged 650,000. CN's death timeslot is still better than The Hub's best was.

Where's Windblade? This isn't going to be just another "female Transformer's name used on a Mini-Con" scenario, is it?

Why would they show a character who's only recently just entered the rumor stage along with characters who have been established as real for months now?Metro Prime wrote:Where's Windblade? This isn't going to be just another "female Transformer's name used on a Mini-Con" scenario, is it?
Like, they didn't show Airachnid or Dreadwing in the first promos of Prime.

Around 0.46-0.52, bottom right corner. Looks like Windblade to me!
Also, she has been rumoured to be in the show, and Mairghread Scott is writing some episodes for the series, too. Speculation? Sure, but I think there is foundation to it.
Posted by Madeus Prime on February 14th, 2015 @ 10:48am CST
Oh ho! That looks promising. I really hope that she is the same character as her IDW twin (as in the same slightly naïve personality). Also, she should be voiced by Tara Strong, just because.

That is true, but not counting Peter Cullin, what G1 voice is more Iconic than Grimlock's ?
Heres my top 5 picks for G1 cartoon iconic voices:
1. Optimus
2. Grimlock
3. Starscream
4. Megatron
5. Perceptor
I know the Starscream actor is dead, but it should be mandatory to bring back the other 4 in every new cartoon, not just Peter Cullin.

Why is Soundwave not number 2?
Soundwave is more iconic then Grimlock and Grim would be at number 5 at that list and the hell is Perceptor doing there he wasn't that important.
Plus cartoon Grimlock is stupid and not that many in the fandom like him especially compared to the marvel comics version I prefer this Grimlock over maid Grimlock (you know what I mean when I say maid).

According to the Master Of Destruction clip from youtube, Bisk is being described as a big, bulky muscular bot, with a voice like that of a young man. What you say about that? Is Clampdown the youngest Decepticon, since that he is the smallest in size and the newest member of Steeljaw's army? I do hope that Bisk, Chop Shop, and Terrashock do show up at this year's Toy Fair. Bisk and Chop Shop, showed up on Episode #4, and Terrashock showed up on Episode #5. I was hoping to see a Warrior class of the Underbite, Quillfire, Ped, and Clampdown, and quite possibly that skunk, that is yet to be named. I'm pretty sure that all of these toys will be at the Toy Fair right before the show makes it's debut next month.

First of all damn it!
Secondly G1 is more like an immortal who just wants to die but can't because too many depend on him.
