Thank you for this.
I was too young to catch RID on it\'s original airing dates. But by some 8-9 years later this show ( hot after the liveaction 2007 film), there it was right on my tv screen and little 3rd grade me was blow away. For so long it\'s been my go-to TF show, the animation, transform sequences, powerlinks and all that jazz are perfect. And of course Skybite lol.
Now if only i can acquire that convoy fire engine.

 

Did Fire convoy recruit almost 20 Cybertron that outnumbered the destronger (which is overkill) because he can’t take any chances that Gigatron would change the past like Megatron almost did (which explains why the dimension partrol was created)?

 

Nah. The Dimensional Patrol wasn't even formed until after RiD Galvatron's defeat, as depicted in the Universe v1 toyline and fiction.

 

So Saban initially owned it, then Disney bought Saban. Then, Disney sold Saban to Hasbro, so I'm guessing Hasbro owns it at this point.

 

That's what not happened, Haim Saban started Saban Brands as a new company and got the rights back to Power Rangers from Disney then Hasbro bought that.

 

Well shit. We're never seeing this show again unless hasbro buys the rights.

 

Which they haven't in twenty years, I don't see why they'd start now.

 

You can get the show off the internet. We just need new toys.

 

It's all on YouTube and has been for years.

 

I prefer the car robot dub that Kary uploaded.

 

I prefer to stream it from my own server. It can be DCMA'd on Youtube, but that doesn't affect my KODI box.

 

That's true, but it's also been there about as long as YouTube videos have been allowed to be more than 10 minutes and no one's done anything.

 

I also like to "own" shows I really like rather than depend on a service. There's never been a US DVD release (and likely never will be) so I have to settle for storing it on my server.

 

While on topic, anyone know of a subbed version of it?

Bless you!

 

@Hasbro if you're looking for titan ideas, this is a the series to look to.

 

Man. How the world has changed since then. It has gotten a lot crazier. The animation has mostly hold up. It makes me miss the 2d animation. Not to say I hate CGI. I think there are times CGI can work. It’s just I prefer the 2d style. I enjoy both the English and Japanese versions. It is one of the few times where I was able to get all members of a combiner team. Which was the Build team. I was usually not successful in getting all members to any combiner team I was interested in. Be it from R.I.D. or from a different toy line. So Happy Late Birthday to R.I.D. Would love to see more updated toys of these characters.

 

So after working on the Unofficial Beast Wars Scale Chart, I have been slowly expanding it to add extra-show characters, like the 3H Wreckers and IDW comics versions. But that's proving to be an enormous undertaking, so I figured I'd do something simpler first. (heh, simpler) There is no chart for Rid aside from a few canonical numbers. So I spent the last several days compiling this list, going through screen shots, watching the show, measuring images, ect.

As such, may I present to you the Comprehensive Robots in Disguise 2001 Scale Chart.

This is an extensive list of every Robots in Disguise 2001 character, both on the show, toy only, and the same show characters as they appeared elsewhere in fiction. Some heights were copied off other characters when no information was given.

Feel free to discuss. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.
