    The laughing got a little annoying, but otherwise that had to be one of my favourite episodes.

    Kinda figured they'd reuse some assets from Prime, but I wasn't expecting to see Bulkhead's vehicle mode again, of all things!

    I really loved this episode overall! Every character involved played a decent part, Bumblebee was a riot without getting too annoyingly incompetent, Grimlock was great as always, and Strongarm did a great job being leader.

    This was probably one of the funniest episodes I've seen of Transformers ever.
    I love how Sideswipe was the most approving of new Bee, and apparently TFS cry oil, isn't that like crying blood to them?
    I like how they referenced AOE with Grimlock being ridden and him hating it.

    As for Quilfire, he was pretty neat, he make a good Decepticon.

    The setup was a bit silly, but the rest of the episode was fun.

    Fixit stole the episode with his one bot surgery IMHO.

    Pretty good episode. Kid Bee's pranks were funny enough, but the others' reactions made it. I liked Strongarm taking up leadership and Sideswipe's objections. The antics at the carnival and Russell, 'Bee, and Sideswipe watching the cowboy movie were too much :lol  .

    Quillfire was a great one-shot villain. His voice actor was brilliant; fit the role perfectly. The part with him and the elephants was surreal.

    He should be more than a one shot villain..his quills have so much story potential for weird effects happening to the team.

    SPOILERS FROM UNAIRED EPISODES AHEAD:

    According to the recently released synopses for upcoming episodes of RID, in episode 16, Drift returns to Earth in pursuit of a runway Jetstorm, and Bee and his team have to deal with an escaped Quillfire AND Springload. I.e. the two most insane Decepticons this show has showcased yet. As well as two of my personal faves.

    It ought to be good.

    :D

    I thought this episode was really bad again, after the last couple had been better. It was cliche after cliche after cliche, and the humor is so forced it's really sad. Most of these characters appear to be really one dimensional at this point and the series is just going nowhere. I still don't see any point to this series. The pacing was atrocious again and the episode, like several others, just ends without anything really happening.

    I am also beginning to think that the voice acting for Bumblebee, Grimlock, and Sideswipe are not cutting it. Will is just over the top straining to act, he has played too many of these roles. The other two are just forgettable stereotypes with nothing distinct or interesting. I also thought Quillfire's voice was lame, but it is hard to give it a chance when the villain of the week only has a couple of lines.

    Really disappointed in this show so far. They are slowly ruining the good things Prime did.

    No doubt it will be good.

    also Daisuke Kishio has been cast as Quillfire in the Japanese dub.

    yes, but the color was different

    it was a pretty good show but bumblebee laughing a lot was getting a little annoying

    but i did like the "bunny slips" on bumblebee and his pranks on the team

    I loved the nod to "W.W.O.D.?" with Bumblebee 's "I love cowboys!"

    And Strongarm's response with the smile, hand on his shoulder, and sympathetic "I know." was so frickin adorable and a great character moment and glimpse into Strongarm's relationship with Bee. It warmed my heart.

    You can really tell she admires him. I don't ship them, but as this show continues I really hope that Bee and Strongarm get really close, like brother and sister. Maybe they can portray the "family" thing from Prime a little better this time 'round. :p

    Wow that was so boring. Last week episode was epic with Jazz so this was a subpar.

    I want to like this show and somewhat do but its time to pick up the pace!

    Episodes 12, 13 and 14 are the best of the series

    Man, I've given this how a fair shake and it's just not cutting it. Agree the humor is too forced. Very little depth, kind of like Animated S1. Think I'll have to cut this from my TiVo soon and just stick w/ Sonic the hedgehog for my Saturday morning tooning.

    Best moment for me.... Bee riding the Bunny Bumper Cars like ice skates!!! Wouldn't mind having a pic of that! :thumb 

    THAT was funny, the rest was eh, funny for the kiddies maybe and serious Bee fans :) , but about the same 'ol, same 'ol for older fans.
