TWC Central is listing two new episodes:
Transformers: Robots in Disguise - TV Show, Episode Guide & Schedule
The previously known "Breathing Room", and "Prepare for Departure". No summaries yet...

 

I bet they are all departing for Cybertron.

 

If that's the case, I wonder if Fixit Denny and Russel will stay behind on Earth or will they be captured.

They won't be going to Cybertron, budget wouldn't cover it lol Or they might be ready to go to Cybertron for 5 mins but end up on Earth again

 

7 more after this til the end. I guess the end should be a 3 or 2 parter?

 

I predict that the episode will begin with one of our Autobot heroes dealing with some sort or issue (whether it be their personality, not working as a team etc etc..), only for the alarms to sound alerting the Autobots of some sort of threat. Fixit will try to say something, get the word wrong twice and then say it correctly after being hit on the head. Bumblebee will say a catchphrase and then they'll all go and catch some incompetent furry "Decepticon" stealing something from a conveniently uninhabited area, tell him he's under arrest and proceed to "fight", with none of the characters taking any actual hits and everyone generally being bumbling idiots. Maybe once or twice everyone will get all confused and bump into each other, landing in a pile while the Decepticon escapes. It'll be a real laugh. Then the character(s) mentioned earlier will learn an important moral lesson, and with that they win and catch the Decepticon before going back to the scrapyard and talking about what they learned that day. Then a few episodes later that previously resolved issue will come back as if it were never resolved in the first place.

Oh wait, that's the plot of literally every RID episode ever.

 

Absolute comment win!

 

It probably will. Given most of the arc's ending trends:

Megatronus - 2 parter
Decepticon Island - 2 parter
Starscream - 3 parter

The only odd one out was the Stunticons. But I honestly would like Rid 2015 to end with a TV movie. (wishful thinking)

Potentially. But this one is "prepare". So I'd figure it'd be the long winded goodbyes and all around preparing for it.
With a later episode for that or story turn to suggest not leaving.

Budget would fine. It's no different than the ships they've used, and doesn't require all new CG models or anything. The backdrops are mostly still images not full CG renders.

Story-wise they do need to tackle the aspect of what Prime's been doing while away though, and I don't think they've introduced Galvatronus as yet have they? Last ep I saw they were still dealing with Menasor. I'd assume this is the beginning of the finale build.

 

Well said boss.

 

Cool.

 

Even i who loves this show would be lying if I even attempted to disagree with you.

 

That's almost exactly what I've been saying for as long as RiD's existed! This predictable baseplate for all episodes to follow is why I never really got into RiD. My favorite episodes are the ones in the Starscream arc because they veer away slightly from the norm, but stuff like Sideswipe offending the Mini-cons fits right at home with what you said. Also note that Clampdown is not a furry Decepticon, as he is a malformed crab loser, so he is technically exempt from your description. Clampdown deserves better.

 

Tbh, i think the formula getting kinda old is the only good reason for RID to end.

 

The Fixit joke in particular really needs to stop. It was amusing the first couple of times but given that it's in almost every episode across three seasons just comes off as lazy writing honestly.

 

I'd be pretty excited if they do leave for Cybertron, though. I'd much rather see what's going on there with Optimus and potentially other familiar faces instead of what we're seeing right now.

 

They tried to stop the gag, it just reactivated his prison guard programming and nearly killed them all.

Pretty much...

 

I can't wait to see all of the members of Team Prime again, including Ratchet, Undertone, Wheeljack, Arcee, Bulkhead, Ultra Magnus, Smokescreen, and Knockout.

 

The newest episode of RID15 would like to have a word with you on that.
