Optimus was just taking a longggggggggg powerdown nap.
Thankfully he left some building plans behind for the bots..
Cody we knew about from previews, clips…but I was kinda surprised they brought her out in the first eps, thought they'd wait for her formal introduction in the upcoming 'Arrivals' episode.

According to Nicole Dubuc, it's been 3 years since the end of season 3. Large time gap, but the bots did comment on there not being a lot of big things happening other than Heatwave having issues getting ahold of Optimus (assuming because he was dead).
Anyways, this series keeps going strong, and it's awesome! Can't wait to see what else is in store, especially since next weekend has Quickshadow!
Exodus
Saw this, and wow didn't realize they matured Cody a lot it seemed and Doc Green has another girl too…toddler. They really pushed the time thing up for this series. Other then that pretty good.

So Chickadee is not a bot then. :/

2 more weeks to go. Got to wonder if a 5th season is on the table?
GirlBot
It's a shame. Chickadee is such a good name for a Bot.
Does guest stars means they won't be regulars on the show?

A fourth season, new heroes, the Autobots revealing themselves to the humans, Alex Kingston and Kristen Schaal. It amazes me how much more I'm excited for this show than RID15.
