I agree with you, Ms. Emperor Kumquat; these two are not the Sludge and Snarl from the aligned continuity comics ( for they are true badasses with actual ordinary senses and know the damage could be fatal to those around them in their surroundings). However, Grimlock from the aligned continuity would get fed up with them and probably want to stick his sword to their chassis. Being part of a rescue operation requires great abstract thinking and strategies by learning the basics of these resources. I may not be that smart, but I take my community college courses seriously. I didn't know that working as a firefighter is pretty cool; a job requires the basic need of strategies and effort to be brave in dire situations that could lead to life and death. Rescue Bots Academy would be better off without these two and with Slash and Brushfire, even though I haven't watched the entire season of the episodes.

[@RialVestro]

Going to correct you on a couple of major things. First, the Aligned Continuity is completely non-existent. They were trying to make it a thing, it didn't really happen, it doesn't work in any way. Even the two closest shows that directly reference each other still don't work being in the same continuity. Sideswipe was the one who invited Blurr to join Bee's team on Rescue Bots but when Blurr shows up on RID he has a completely different design and Sideswipe doesn't want him around. Sideswipe actually looks the same on both shows but has a completely different personality. RID Sideswipe is young and immature while RB Sideswipe is confident and actually knows what he's doing. WFC Grimlock, RID Grimlock, and RBA Grimlock are three entirely different characters. Not only is the design different but his personality is different between the two shows. RID Grimlock unlike most other Grimlocks actually spends most of his time in robot mode. RBA Grimlock never even transforms. RBA Grimlock is also smarter than his RID counterpart. Basically it's no real surprise that Sludge and Snarl are not the WFC versions... especially considering Sludge would be dead. Secondly, yes the characters are idiots HOWEVER... what you said about characters who are idiots will always be idiots is COMPLETELY WRONG. Technically EVERYONE starts off being an idiot, that's the whole point of going to school in the first place is to get an education, because no one is inherently intelligent. There are those who can learn more easily than others and I could even agree that Sludge and Snarl would likely have some sort of learning disability but that does not mean they are incapable of getting better, it only means it's going to take more effort to teach them than anyone else. You have basically demonstrated yourself to be dumber than the characters you're criticizing by not knowing that. There even is evidence of them learning in the show already. You even played a clip out of context that was actually the result of them learning what a lever was from Hoist. You think they would have gotten the idea to do that on their own if they were actually that dumb?

I always said the Rescue Bots shows answers most of the continuity problems left by RID15 like how many years does it take place after Prime or how RID Grimlock had a completely different name before renaming himself.

Watching this video, yeah, the preschool shows may patch up some plotholes but it seems they added some new ones like these idiots and they are supposed to be the same people from FOC.

Imma be real, FOC and Prime/Rescue Bots/RID 2015/Academy just CAN'T be in the same continuity.

Wow, I still remember Grimlock from Fall of Cybertron. This is almost insulting.

[@monster-mecha_enthusiast_2002]

I mean, dispite not growing up with G1? I actually liked Sludge and Snarl but their Rescue Bots ver.? yeah, I can understand why they're so hated. Plus, like Grimlock, I noticed their voices were different compared to their Cyberverse counterparts too lol.

I sometimes run into a problem on the fly just because it happened because two idiots or an idiot made the problem so if it’s seriouse I will stay backs and make a plan

[@AlphaOmega1237]

I'm more or less at the point where the Aligned continuity just doesn't exist for me. Every single major entry seems to be fundamentally incompatible with every other major entry. The differences between the Cybertron games and Prime are relatively small, but they're still pretty big in their own right (specifically in characterization and how the events played out). The major thing they share is overall tone, which is more than you can say for the rest. RID and Rescue Bots are so tonally different that they really can't be considered the same setting at all. The aligned continuity is ironically named, given how it is arguably the best example out there of the dangers of not maintaining a consistent or coherent setting.

2:19 cha-cha real smooth.

[@raphaeldagamer]

You know that the dynamic between the new rescue recruits will only work because Sludge and Snarl will be simpletons and do nothing more than follow orders from the other 3 recruits and succeed through sheer dumb (especially dumb in this case) luck when they aren't taking orders.

[@Cerato_animates]

basically me and 2 of my annoying classmates that wont stop asking questions from the teacher even tho the the teacher repeated it like 3 times

[@qstorm38]

These two used to be so cool. Poor guys got done dirty. Snarl’s my favorite of the Dinobots too.

[@kennethsatria6607]

I hope someday the WFC styled depiction of Dinobots can make a comeback in a more serious TF show. They are basically just g1 dinobots but on steroids and it was the greatest thing I ever experienced when I saw Grimlock striding across the battlefield in that trailer to help Optimus.

[@Greenkitten45]

When you take badass warriors and make them "kid-friendly" by making them complete idiots for the sake of comic relief. It's always aggravating when a show ruins characters that could be "kid-friendly" without completely dulling them down. >8( Seriously, though underused and still not clever, G1 Dinobots were still (A) decent warriors, (B) smart enough to be useful, & (C) well-meaning though surly and cartoonishly violent. The dinobots' enhanced physical power, endurance, fire generation, and their general fearlessness of danger were their strengths-- they weren't clever, but they weren't total morons-- and the other Autobots knew that, which was why they tolerated the Dinobots in the first place despite making them the butt of jokes.

[@charliedore138]

That sludge definitely can't be the same one from the aligned continuity because that one died in foc before we even met the dinobots in the game, so this babified, watered down buffoon cant be sludge

[@Isaac-gh5ku]

Makes you think if the writers of Rescue Bots and Rescue Bots Academy actually read the source material, play the War For Cybertron games, and watch Transformers Prime or not.

I see why Grimlock is a solo act with most versions of Transformers. These guys kind of weigh him down.

TO BE FAIR sludge was technically dead for a few years and snarl well came out with a intelligence level of a infant when he was experimented on
