    For something I care little about, and is in no way targetted towards me or has an effetc on me at all, it looks A-okay.

    D'aw, look at the little tykes. Nice to see Medix and Hoist finally appear, Hot Shot, Wedge and Whirl are an interesting choice as well.

    Ew, please no. It's weird that they randomly made Whirl a girl, if that's what they did (It's a bit hard to tell.) But this still looks pretty cute. I like how Heatwave noticeably looks older.

    Oh hey, they released an image of Rescue Bots Academy. Wonder what they got...

    Medix, okay, interesting to age him down from the original toy, but I ain\'t gonna question it.

    Hoist, see above.

    Wedge, looks pretty neat.

    Whirl, as a young girl, eh? Interesting idea.

    Hot Shot... huh. Funny enough, me and a few friends of mine have a fancomic with the Autobots going to an Academy, and he just happens to be on that roster. Strange coincidence, huh?

    Yeah.

    It's not like they haven't reused names on random characters before. Blades for example. And hopefully Hotshot's appearance here means some possibilities for UT characters showing up in generations.

    Nice ad hominem.

    No differing opinions allowed.

    Good point. Even Hoist is technically a similar deal.

    This looks like it'll be fun! And could potentially grow as big as Paw Patrol did in children audiences.

    That's not a good comparison because in IDW They've repeatedly stated that the Holomatter avatar system has trouble discerning sex. :lol 

    Why are people already getting so defensive? I didn't even say it was a bad thing, I just said it was kind of weird. Calm down please.

    They didn't make Whirl a girl, they made a girl and named her Whirl because that's kinda TF's thing.

    Isn't that from a arc most people dislike? But more on topic, I've only seen a few episodes of RB myself, but this does interests me so I'll watch some of the episodes when I can.

    Well, I'm glad they're not trying to recast the original RB cast. I think moving on to a new generation of bots was the right call. I just hope that RB has a satisfying ending (or did it end already?).

    What is this? Legitimately adorable Transformers and not some forced Tailgate shit? Witchcraft.

    I wasn't getting defensive.

    I just thought people were under the impression there was no precedent, so I thought it was ironic.
