I ain't reading that. It's the same Heatwave with a bigger chin.

 

My issue is that after 30 years of this stuff that fans still haven't figured out that not every character that has an identical name to a previous character doesn't have to be in anyway related besides in name only.

It's mind boggling.

 

Kinda like G1, huh.

 

I'm not gonna lie they look adorable. Hope it turns out great for the kids!

 

aww, they're adorable.

 

I am almost dead certain that's not even remotely close to how it happened.

In all likelyhood they wanted another helicopter TF, and had her all designed and ready before even considering the name Whirl. They just picked a helicopter-relevant name. Maybe, just maybe, they decided/altered her colours after doing so for some resemblance to the original. But in all likelihood the G1 character was never considered at all. You are reading far too much into this, I assure you.

What do you mean "now?" Do you not remember the visibly youthful Hot Rod and comparatively elderly Kup in G1?

Human-like age is not a new concept to TFs.

 

I never said it wasn't the same Heatwave just that I don't like the giant chin. You don't have to read a post if you don't want to but if you're not going to read it then don't respond to it. If you're going to respond then you have to read it first. Responding without reading is pointless.

 

Is it bad if i feel more intrigued by this than cyberverse?

 

Oh yeah,got confused since they had toys but didn't make a show debut.Well,still happy for them either way.

 

Same here.

 

I wasn't expecting Whirl to be a fembot here but then again it's not like the character took the appearance of a female in some way or another. *coughIDWholorformcough.* I'm curious if she'll have some of the IDW Whirl insanity or at least more of a thrillseeker then she ought to be.

Also it's great to see hot Shot show up again. He hasn't had a large role since Cybertron ended so this is a pleasant surprise.  

 

I love that Hot Shot has finally found his place to shine since Bee stole his spotlight.

I don't mind the art style shift. Then again, Animated is still my favorite TF show, so radical stylization does not phase me.

I hope that the original VAs return when the original Rescue Bots get cameos.

I also hope that more Rescue Bots get the NuRID Blurr treatment and get deluxe sized toys for either Generations or the Cyberverse toyline. I mean, the kids who started with Rescue Bots are more than old enough to be in the regular toyline's age range, and it's not like there aren't Hot Shot molds lying around (fingers crossed for the never released Animated version of him).

 

Oh my God, little kid Transformers! They're so adorable!

 

People are criticising Rescue Bots in general, but I find the show surprisingly well-written for a younger-aged Transformers kids' show. Also, do you guys remember the Rescue Bots' predecessor, the 2003 Transformers Go-Bots cartoon? Ew.

 

How do we know these Transformers are kids? We don\'t know how tall they are in this, the new Bots haven\'t been shown next to anyone of the old bots or the Humans. So that could be the same sized as Heatwave and the others. They could just look small to us at the moment.

 

Proto-forms developing? Transformers Animated had already established an existence of a cybertronian elementary school (Arcee being a teacher). At this point, the Transformers fiction is so convoluted with such weird crap (mass-shifting, an existence of a Transformers god, terrible retro-canonization to fix plot holes, car-washes of death, scraplets, Rumble turning into a tree, annoying kids) I am surprised of all of this weird fictional crap, people are angry about cybertronian kids in a show aimed towards a younger demographic.  

 

I can't argue with that logic. Ouch, shame on me. I just think its a tiresome cliche'.

 

Well you could be right but we still have yet to see them next to anyone or anything besides each other. So until then we still don't know their heights.

 

I just realized that Wedge is orange and looks like he might turn into a construction vehicle, just like Wedge in RID 2001.

 

I want him to turn into a mechanical orange and run over his foes like a giant, sentient bowling ball.
