Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Gutsman Heavy is right - it's a hyena.

Yeah, that's why he was originally meant to be called Cackle (and retained that name in Europe.) Which is kind of funny (pun kind of intended) - the original Jawbreaker character was what the UK comics called G1 Overbite (presumably because Overbite's gun was a 'Jawbreaker Cannon'.) So the Jawbreaker name has twice been a cause of confusion on different sides of the Atlantic.

Just a bit of Jawbreaker canon for you all.

Where would I find Transformers Animated Season 1 and 2 set cheap US got the release of it in one set but listings are $80USD 2 DVD's are not worth that much. Also where is Season 3?

That would explain it. I spent a while looking for it.

Is Transformers RiD worth watching? I have heard good and bad about it any comments? Im wanting another series to watch as I am going to steer clear from The Unicron Trilogy for a while.

RID is great fun. It's more like TFAnimated than the Unicron Trilogy.

I'm about 3/4 through RiD and I'm enjoying it. The only annoying characters are Side Burn and to a lesser degree Ultra Magnus IMO.

I'd recommend watching the original Car Robot over RiD for various reasons, but I don't know if anyone's ever translated the series into English (fan sub or otherwise), so RiD is probably the only way to watch it unless you can understand Japanese.

I would recommend watching it though. The show is primarily aimed at a very young audience, but within that context I think it's pretty well done.

Car Robot/RiD has some pretty cool toys though. It combined the improved engineering innovations from Beast Wars (e.g.: full articulation, detailed sculpting, better paint apps etc.) and instead of animals used licensed vehicles (e.g. Diablo, ML320, Dodge Viper etc.) Car Robot/RiD was the inspiration for Binaltech/Alternators.

Where would I get RiD? IT wasnt released in Australia was it?
