    I know it won't happen but I hope they continue the prime continuity with something else. Really needing a clone wars equalivent for transformers in my opinion where we just stick with the one show over a long period of time instead of changing every 2-3 seasons

    I would be all for finishing RID15 and starting a new story in the continuity. Rid always seemed like it was just a filler for something else I mean they've essentially just recapture the prisoners and go home. And even then they had the fallen who they defeated already so what more could possibly go on after the mission is complete.

    But it sounds like we're getting something new entirely, hope it's good and doesn't get ruined by some latter change of mind

    If it does end I think it will -as others have already said- be replaced by something that will build on the current continuity.

    I think what really let down season 1 was that Prime had an arc that mostly happened off screen and what was shown wasn't enough but maybe the show had been put on notice at that moment and the production team had to get things moving quickly.

    I'm mostly disappointed by RiD, so I'm not that sad to see it go. The one thing I really did like about it was that Optimus Prime and Megatron are not the leaders in this show! That is by far the best thing about this series. I love that they didn't resort to bringing Megatron back, and Optimus was held off and even then, did not resume command. I would've preferred it if Optimus didn't return, but other than that, I really like this idea. I also find the idea of the Decepticons being reduced to directionless thugs to be an interesting one. Not so keen about it's execution though.

    Overall, while there are a few things about this show that I like, there are a lot more that I don't. But I won't bore you all with a 500 word essay about it.

    I won't be overly sad to see it go. The animation style, whilst better than Animated (which was a style I was NOT a fan of) it was still a little too close for my liking.

    And story wise it seemed a step back from Prime.

    Rescue Bots is much more enjoyable.

    I actually agree. As "simple" as Rescue Bots is, it is quite enjoyable to watch AND Optimus has a sense of HUMOUR and humanity to him much more reminiscent of G1 Prime.

    My kids despite technically being too old for the show always stop to watch it, or in my sons case sit down and watch a whole set of episodes and I always hear them laughing at it. They LOVED the Season where Optimus turned into a T-Rex and went all primal.

    Back to RID, I actually think bringing Optimus back so soon was a bad idea. I love hearing Peter Cullen's OP voice and there is no doubt he draws viewers but they could have taken an alternate track and mixed it up with Ironhide... (personally I'd love to see if they could a) convince the studio to introduce Ironhide and b) convince Peter Cullen to reprise his voice).

    Not really watching the show but my kids love it. I'm disappointed for them if it ends.
