Transformers: Robots in Disguise

It might have been something that happen off-screen since Bumblebee is the most experienced member of the team.

Gotta admit, that sounds hilarious.

It feels like it should be a reference to the autobot base's collapse, or the mineshaft collapse in "Rock Bottom" but Bumblebee wasn't at either of those. Maybe the writers forgot?

Bumblebee was never thrown through a mountain in Prime, but they were on Earth for some time before that.

Maybe he got thrown a mountain then.

Maybe he ended up as the ball in a game of lobbing between Bulkhead and Wheeljack.

Watched the first three episodes. It's a perfectly okay show. The lighter tone makes sense considering the Decepticons lost their leaders (Soundwave, Starscream and Megatron).

I'm wondering why every Decepticon so far is animal-themed. All the predacons got destroyed back in Season 3 by the autobots.

One theory I've heard is that most of them are creations of Shockwave sometime after Predacons Rising and long before RiD.

Speaking of which, whatever happened to that fourth Predacon he was cloning in that movie?

My theory on when this show takes place in the Aligned timeline: In Episode 3, Russell complained about the leather football helmet his father gave him was "a hundred years old".

Leather football helmets, without the face-guards, were introduced in the 1930s, I believe. Placing RiD a couple decades after Prime. (2030s)

Hm. While that probably was not really meant to be an accurate timeline marker, it actually makes a lot of sense timeline wise. From what I've seen thus far, Cybertron's mainly re-built itself, but with the war in still recent memory, and Bumblebee, while a senior officer, hasn't really gotten very high ranked. Humanity also hasn't gotten too far ahead, big shiny city not-withstanding.

EDIT- They lasted from the very late 1890s till the mid 50s.

Yeah that was probably much older helmet model used in that scene.

Though 2030-2050 doesn't sound too far off.

Haven't seen it myself yet, I'll have to catch the episode at some point and compare the helmet.

Lockdown, Ratbat, and Megatron(ous) are in the toyline.

There's a chance they may show up.

Why on Earth does CN air this show at 6:30 AM?

The real question: Why is Russel such a bitch all the time about his dad and self esteem?!

he's twelve. most kids that age go through a phase like that (i know i did).

I guess I'm still getting out of it. I say there needs to be a Russel focused story about how he got to this point.

×4 The reason they air this show at 6:30AM is because it's a 3rd party cartoon that CN doesn't own.

I'm sure Hasbro can get a better channel to air their show on then. It's goddamn Transformers and this franchise pulls in the ratings. CN is just awful.

well, there is a certain channel that's run a sizeable chunk of Hasbro's toy-based shows in recent years...

Dick-over-me family isn't doing to well in ratings IMHO.

Windblade confirmed to appear.

Well that's a shock.

Transformers doesn't often have two female characters in a series.

Hell, it's only been recently that we've been getting female Deceptions (female Autobots have been a thing).

I'm wondering if she'll be a recurring character or not.

Well we had that bird Decepticon. (I forget her name.) Though I don't think we ever saw her robot mode?

Oh.

I've missed a lot of eps of this, so I didn't know there was a bird Deception.

I guess it's nice there's so many more female Transformers as a whole.

Filch. And thats all we got to see.◊

But dont get exited, she was terrible. She didnt even spoke in full sentences (just "SHINY!" in sreechy voice) which is why probably they got away with giving her the same voice actress as Strongarm.
