ok, too much time to sit around and think. But, here is my thoughts on this. It's possible that like 75+ passed on Earth. Look at Cybertron, it's rebuilt very quickly, lots of new bots, etc. A lifetime for a transformer can be several million of years. So, the fact that so much work was done and it's so populated could suggest that several decades have passed?

I forget the city where Denny lived near was called. But, the city did seem a tad futuristic. Didn't it have robots? Given how slowly humans progress, it's possible that a few decades have passed and all we accomplished are some walking talking garbage cans. It's possible the city was small city and a dump where the Clay's lived was just in the middle of nowhere outside the city. Russell's GF has some vintage football gear... Do they mention what year it is at all?


Just a thought. I'm sure they just didn't want the bring kids back, but always thought it was suspicious no one mentioned them in passing.

 

They apparently planned for Unit:E to make an appearance and feature, at the very least, a now adult Jack. So no, they're probably still alive.

 

Rescue Bots clarifies that RID is set 3 years after TFP, with the 3 year timeskip in season 4 and Bumblebee with his voice and RID Sideswipe making appearances while the Burns family are only a little bit older than they were in the TFP-concurrent seasons.

 

Probably not. I imagine they'd be adults by that time.

 

Honestly this information just makes Bumblebee kind of look like a jerk. All this time on Earth and he doesn't consider trying to contact his best friend?
I get the importance of keeping things off the radar as much as possible but there's no way Fowler and co. weren't aware of what was going on. And if Bee simply didn't want to involve the humans during the crises, he could have waited until things were calmer and finally checked in with them - though that excuse doesn't fly either, since he ended up having to involve humans who had no prior experience with any of this anyway.

 

Yes.

 

Jesus Christ I hope so.

 

That always felt so weird to me, since in three years Cybertron managed to establish a functioning government and completely restore the planet after the events of Prime. And the show ran right alongside the IDW books where they only just barely managed to get one city running in about that time.

 

What you don’t know is that a million years on Cybertron is like 5 months on Earth.  

 

Fingers crossed.

 

I never watched RB so I didn't know this, thanks.

 

I once had a meeting like that.

 

They probably were alive, I was surprised Fowler didn't come knocking after obvious strange activity going on. I was more curious about why Arcee, Wheeljack, Smokescreen, Knock-out, and Ultra Magnus went off too. They only had Cameos in "Enemy of My Enemy" with Smokescreen having a complete makeover.

 

Bumblebee was a jerk for not meeting up with Raf... They even went back to Jasper, NV during the Starscream arc.

 

Miko seems like the type of person who fell off the face of the earth.
I bet Raf and Jack are doing alright.
But no one asks about Agent Fowler.

 

I hope so. The human kids were the worst mistake of TFP. I wish they just only had Agent Fowler.

 

Harsh

 

Miko got on my nerves but I liked all the humans on TFP as a whole. They were pretty useful at least.

 

How were they useful?

 

Raf's hacking and math skills. Helped Ratchet a lot with integrating Earth technology with Cybertronian technology.

Jack restored Optimus Prime's memory.

Miko using the Apex Armor to help out. She also rescued Wheeljack from Hardshell.

They also trapped Soundwave in the shadow zone.
