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.Originally Posted by Burn
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.

Couldn't get my pre-3 son into Rescuebots so tried RID. He enjoyed sitting on my lap to watch it before I'd go to work when it was on telly but showed no interest in watching the show outside of that scenario. The only ones he will watch independently are Prime and G1. And I think that shows good taste on his part as they are both superior shows to the new RID.
I felt the second half on the first season was better than the first and so deserved a second season. However unless season 2 really lifts it's game I won't be too disappointed to not see a third.
I think part of the reason is, despite so many of us going 'oh how original - Optimus vs Megatron again...yawn', this show that for the most part doesn't have them just doesn't seem to inspire. Bbee vs Steeljaw just doesn't have the same punch and their battles aren't nearly as epic and as leaders they aren't very inspiring. Who knows though - if they can make the next season good enough it might generate enough of a following for them to make a third after all.
