Agreed. While the show it mindless fun, I am certainly not a fan of the "furry" approach to Decepticon design.
The non-Furry Decepticons are of some interest to me though.

Optimus is showing certain degrees of Kup-itude, but I'm down with that. The "flawless, wise leader" thing is more based on G1-nostalgia than the character's origins, in which he was a bit of a goofball. He had a smug moment! I could get used to smug Optimus.
Helps that they've set up two character arcs that somewhat conflict - a "respeckt yer elders" thing for Sideswipe and a "Know your limitations" thing for OP. The vague possessiveness Sideswipe has towards Windblade is still pretty weird, though.

Do you like Beast Wars?
If you do and dislike the Decepticon designs of the show being based on animals that makes you a hypocrite.

That's a bit hyperbolic - although I like both Beast Wars and RiD15's animalistic designs, I can totally see how someone might like one and not the other - a wolf tail on a carformer might seem a lot like wheels on a wolfformer, yeah? In my eyes the two examples aren't equivalent, but I can see how it might affect someone else's enjoyment.Deadput wrote:Mkall wrote:Agreed.

a bit miffed we didn't get to see Overload's vehicle mode(even though we know what that looks like from the Deployer figure).
btw those new Minicons....i hope the figures come with pots & pans accessories! lol
oh btw liked how Windblade used her turbines to lessen the force of the avalanche
& i'm still in awe every time Prime transforms into his vehicle mode.
also
youtube have both eps up now

Precisely RevTibe.
Beast Wars, robots with animal modes, was the entire theme of the show. The characters personalities were related to their altmodes a little bit, but not overwhelmingly so (except Waspinator, but he's special). Even when the lore did not require them to need animal modes (after all the Energon became stable), they still stuck with the theme. Why? Because there was in-lore reasons.
With RiD, there is no REASON given in-story (to my knowledge) that describes why all criminal Decepticons, from disparate backgrounds from all over Cybertron, that were locked into stasis pods that they be given some sort of animalistic persona/appearance to varying degrees. Sure, it's an obvious Hasbro marketing idea, and to give points to the show's writing most of them are pulled off well with a good personality. However to me it's a suspension of disbelief that I really have trouble accepting. Granted I'm not a 6-10 kid anymore, but I feel that similar characters/stories could have been made with more traditional-style Decepticons.

Because this stretches suspension of disbelief much further than thirty-foot alien robots that turn into human-scaled guns and cassette players.

The further we move away from tradition and cliche tropes the better.
I prefer Steeljaw over the last couple Megatron's we have had (Thinking about the Movie and Prime versions of him here Animated Megatron was cool)

So we both want different things. Nothing wrong with that. I'll enjoy what I got even if it's not entirely my cup of tea.

I'm fine with agreeing to disagree.
Although in my eyes personally I would think that a perfect balance between having new thing and keeping some of the old ways would be best.
For example Having characters such as Alpha Bravo and Steeljaw exist while also having some of the old guys such as Prime and Starscream with maybe some new things with them so their not rehashes of before.

D-Maximus_Primal wrote:Strange dates for episodes. Back to back days for new episodes? Strange...
It is good for us who like to see new episodes as quick as possible. however it is typical CN, just trying to burn through the new episodes as quick as possible, no doubt so they can snuff this series from their roster so they can show more endless Uncle Grandpa & Teen Titans Go reruns.
Anywho... The episode was ok. I was actually way more interested in The away mission & Polar Claw than Bumblebee & Overloads battle.
Interesting to see that Steve Blum "voiced" (or more accurately provided all the noise for) Polarclaw, Backtrack & Ransack. Good to see he has quite a Frank Welker-esque ability to him. Also perhaps we might see Starscream before its all over? Who knows....
I was kind of disappointed Polarclaw didn't speak. Also I thought it was kind of weak that the Cyclones would turn on Overload so quickly. I would have maintained that,in order to show their unwillingness to take orders at all, they would not have so quickly joined Overload in the first place (I mean look what happened to Fracture if you happened to see those short episodes). However I have no doubt they will be back with Overload before the end.

Here is the image of what Grimlock's vehicle mode would have looked like in the cartoon:

But what does this mean? Does this mean that Grimlock will finally successfully scan a vehicle mode for Season 2? In Season 1, he has tried many attempts to scan a vehicle mode, but still failed.

It doesn't mean anything it's just a toy that has nothing to do with the show I mean look at that robot mode do you think it would be in the show?
Grimlock will still and always will be a Dinosaur in the show.

Probably has to do with Steeljaw's idea of having a safe haven for Decepticons, maybe Scorpinok and company help instigate it? Just theorizing here

No one has said that episode 13 is the last episode. This is just a listing for more episode titles that happens to go up to episode 13.psj333 wrote:Wait a sec? Isn't Season 2 supposed to have 16 episodes plus a movie, thus, totaling 19 episodes? Now they said 13 episodes? Have they already changed their minds? Or is this just the beginning of Season 2 and there are more on the way?

o.supreme wrote:Also 16 episodes plus a TV movie does not = 19 episodes. It is still 16 episodes plus a TV Movie. --Never in the history of watching TV shows have the titles of all the episodes of a season been revealed all at once. it is usually a slow, gradual process. Because of the speed at which CN is airing the episodes though, we have been privy to more information than usual, but it still isn't all the information. Whenever the last episode is announced it should be overwhelmingly obvious, and you'll see fans talking and speculating away.
Haven't you forgotten? Hasbro had already stated that the TV movie contains 3 episodes in one, which means by adding those, this makes 19. Understand now?

Hoping we see some of the generics in action - I love the Insecticon design from Prime, so the idea of having a redeco'd one of those running around in this series tickles me.

The Wiki said that because TVGuide said that.psj333 wrote:Look, I do know that we're not supposed to believe everything what the Internet says. But a Trasformers website known as TFWiki.net, recently said that episode 4 Suspended will be moved back to March 12th instead of the 19th. But, what does this mean? Could it be that the episode is finally moving back to its original timeslot, since that a lot of fans are very anxious in seeing it?

You're right that he doesn't. I'm not saying that Dennis does voice acting. I'm just saying that by judging by how Dennis and Jason speak, they sounded very similar, except Jason spoke Standard American English, whereas Dennis speaks with a New York accent. Anyhow, please keep in mind that Crazybolt has been confirmed to be performed by voice actor James Arnold Taylor. As for Slicedice, there is no way that he can be a Minicon, since that Crazybolt already has one under the name, Hammer, according to his profile on his toy packaging.
