RID Cartoon season 3 titles and details

[griffin]

As the next season of the cartoon begins in America on April 29th, we are now getting details of the episodes themselves, with the titles of the first two episodes.

Ep 1 - King of the Hill part 1
Ep 2 - King of the Hill part 2

More titles and episode details to be posted up as they are revealed.

A french site has a description for episode one, roughly translated to...

The Transformers Robots In Disguise face new threats and join forces. While the Bee Team is confronted with a dangerous Stunticon capable of attacking it with missiles, Grimlock, the big arm of the group, proposes to the team to learn combat techniques. The Autobots travel quickly to Antarctica to fight the Decepticon Prong, a monster just thawed from a glacier in which he was a prisoner.

And another commercial for the season, in French, has been found as well.

Titles for the next four episodes after the two part opener (King of the Hill) have been found, as they are scheduled to air during May in some other country (America, France or Canada).

Ep 3 - Defrosted
Ep 4 - Blurred
Ep 5 - Sphere of Influence
Ep 6 - Bee Cool

The episode description in the previous post sounds like it includes Episode 3, if that is the Antarctica episode.

This season and future seasons of the RID cartoon are going to cause confusion with its naming or numbering... as the RID producers call it Season 3 (noting that 2.5 was indeed part of Season 2), but TV listings and broadcasters are listing it as Season 4 (calling the 2.5 episodes season 3 because of the big break between their airings).

It's a bit like Beast Machines and the 2001 RID cartoon - some sources note them as one season, while other sources note them as two.

But one thing that can be made clear though, is that this current season has 26 episodes, according to the cartoon showrunner Adam Beechen.

That will give us 71 episodes by the end of this year.

Episodes 10 & 11 have been added to the tfwiki page...

Details on another two episodes have surfaced...

Ep-12 - The Golden Knight
An ancient Cybertronian signal sends Bumblebee and chivalry-obsessed Fixit to a remote English island for a routine scouting mission that quickly turns into the duo's very own call to adventure.
Ep-13 - The Fastest Bot Alive
Grimlock acquires uncontrollable superspeed, which proves to be a problem when the Autobots have to deal with a revenge-minded Simacore and his army of Mini-Con clones.

And it looks like the character of Windblade is being voiced by someone new (Erica Lindbeck).
(I guess that character isn't in the first half of the season.)
