After seeing how Sari's key can heal Autobots, she wants to use it to purge her organic half. The spider's venom somehow mutated her Cybertronian systems, making her 'a freak'. She wants the key to get rid of her organic half that she got when she was on an organic planet infested with giant spiders. When Sari takes Bumblebee and Bulkhead trick or treating, the spider-like Decepticon Blackarachnia shows up and targets Sari's key. However, the entire affair brings up bad memories for Optimus, who is haunted by the ghosts of his past, specifically when he and his fellow bots, the cocky and arrogant Sentinel Prime and power-mimicking Elita One were looking for a crashed Decepticon ship loaded with energon cubes. It's Halloween and Sari introduces the Autobots to Earth's costume-and-candy traditions. You're more than welcome to be hopeful for a S2 release this year, but I just can't be that optimistic when I know how the industry generally works when it comes to release dates.#2 - Along Came a Spider Season 1 - Episode 9 - Aired Feb 16, 2008
But I don't appreciate someone implying that I don't know what I'm talking about.
I'm not trying to be argumentative here, honestly.
TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED SEASON 1 EPISODE 9 TV
The window for release dates for theatrical movies is a lot shorter and has a much quicker turnaround time these days, and they don't operate on the same timetable as releases for TV series.įurthermore, there are already DVD/Blu-Ray release dates announced for Wall-E, Indiana Jones, and The Dark Knight, which also contradicts your statement. You're comparing big box office titles with a TV series. That's kinda how the industry rolls.Īnd I don't get where you get your info about "none of the movies in theaters now" have release dates. So to say that "we only knew the season 1 date for a little while" is just not correct.Īs I already stated in my earlier post, it's usually about 4 months from the time a title is announced before the street date. …4713-botcon-animated-panel-sunday-report.htmlĪnd that was in April–4 months before the release date. Oh, and TFA S1 was announced at Botcon for an August release: If Hasbro or Paramount hasn't made an announcement by the end of September, there's very little chance we'll see S2 this year. That's why November is such a huge release month and December is not.
Because if you're a studio/distributor and you aren't already advertising your product for preorder to retailers by August for a Holiday release (unless you're talking about a HUGE box office movie), you're already too late.Īnd in the DVD/Blu-Ray retail market, if you haven't released your product by Thanksgiving weekend, you've really screwed yourself. I would certainly be glad if it was, but I'm not counting on it. I'm just saying the chances are rather slim that it will be. I'm not saying there's NO chance it might be released in Nov/Dec. I know these things from personal research and experience because my store's sales were vital to knowing such information.Īnd I'm telling you that's generally how the process goes. I've worked in retail management for over 10 years and have worked for three different stores which specialize in DVD retail. 'Scuze me for my complete frankness, but I'm not speaking out of my ass here. We only knew season 1 date for a little while.
