Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy News And Discussion Thread

[JoeMabbon]

Time to split this off from the Hasbro/Boulder Media Thread.

Coming to Discovery Family this fall: Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy.

A group of young Bots fresh from Cybertron (Hot Shot, Whirl, Medix, Hoist and Wedge), have the honor of being the first-ever class to enroll in Earth’s Rescue Bot Training Academy and learn how to become Earth heroes through hands-on experience.


Discuss the next generation of Rescue Bots here.

Steve Blum and D.C. Douglas confirmed that the new Transformers shows were completely recast.

Really wish we could get an air-date for this already. September? October? C'mon Hasbro/Discfam, give me something!

Why does this look cheaper than the original Rescue Bots series?

Cause it probably is.

 

[Gold Guy]

I'm not surprised. Unlike Rescue Bots, this one won't even have full-length episodes, apparently.

 

[SourSweetGone]

Not surprised its pushed back to 2019. They'll probably wait and air it alongside Season 2 of LPS:AWOOO and Season 9 of MLP:FIM Next March. Hope it does well though, it looks cute.

According to Licensing Sourcebook Europe, it’ll be out in January.

This is the original show. There was a two-parter with that title. The episode summary is the same.

But it's listed in 11-minute slots instead of one 30 minute slot...

 

[JoeMabbon]

I have no idea why that is. Maybe it's a stealth premiere? I don't know why someone who's not Adult Swim would do this, but hey...

Just saw a promo. It will indeed be the new Rescue Bots Academy show airing that day.

I saw that promo, too. It called it a sneak peek, so I’m guessing the full premiere is still in January.

 

[Fone Bone]

What channel?

What channel?

It will be on Discovery Family.

Can't wait for the preview this weekend! Funny enough its airing on the early access showing of Bumblebee. So yay for Double Robots!!
