Transformers: Robots in Disguse

[TurtleTitan97]

Coming in Spring 2015, the new Transformers animated series will act as a sequel to Transformers Prime. Here's a description:

[The] show takes place years after “Transformers Prime,” when Bumblebee is summoned to save Earth from a new faction of Decepticons and assembles a rogue team of young Autobots that includes a rebel bad boy bot, an elite guard cadet, a bombastic Dinobot and hyperactive Mini-Con to capture their new enemies.

Each new bot is a fully capable action hero but inexperienced in working together in a team, forcing Bumblebee to become both squad leader and coach, Hasbro said.

The show will feature voice actors such as Darren Criss, Constance Zimmer, Mitchell Whitfield and Ted McGinley. Also from the article: "[the] creative team includes kids programming vets Jeff Kline (“Transformers Prime”) as executive producer; producer Adam Beechen (“The Adventures of Chuck and Friends”); and Steven Melching, a writer on “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” who will serve as the show’s story editor."

The name mystifies me.

And here's why

And secondly, no Optimus Prime?

Well, in the Predacons Rising TV Film, Optimus was forced to sacrifice his own life to restore the AllSpark to Cybertron.

But if this image is any indication, we could very well see him in flashbacks at least:

If it's a sequel, why isn't it CG? Seems dumb.

Also, dude on the right looks like transmetal Rattrap.

Well I'll definitely check it out. I tried more than once but just couldn't get into TF Prime.

Last TF cartoon I really liked and followed through was Animated.

The Armada/Cybertron/Energon series were too anime for me. I don't think I finished R.I.D. (that older one) but I have some of the toys from it.

I kind of like the 2D (but maybe that's just personal taste). It looks very fluid.

It's kind of interesting to see a switch from 3D to 2D instead of the opposite (which seems to happen more often with continuations/reboots).

Well apparantly due to the change in er venue of the Hub Network being rebranded Discovery Family, Hasbro has decided to put Robots In Disguise on Cartoon Network!!

The other reasoning for putting Transformers back on CN is because Discovery Family is apparantly being aimed at girls. Alrighty then.

My first thought, when I saw title of this thread.
How they plan to distinguish between series?

Good. That way, I can watch it in HD. My cable provider didn't offer The Hub in HD.

Bumblebis Prime?

*watches clip* Is it me or did one of 'Bee's team appear to be Smokescreen? *crosses fingers*

[blindturtle02]

I loved TF Prime so I need to check this one out. Yeah, hope Smokescreen is in this too. It's going to be on CTN? Hope they don't pull the plug on this thing too early then. I wonder how many time slots they'll put it in throughout its run.
