Yes, they’re watching Robots in Disguise. The 2001 cartoon, not the 2015 cartoon. Nor the IDW ongoing comic book series. Because Hasbro really needs to name their Transformers cartoons some DIFFERENT THINGS SOMETIMES.
I’d like to say I know that feeling, but I’ve been strangely unable to stay single for prolonged periods of time. I guess I have a “partner-dar” that allows me to seek out willing victimscompanions…?
(this is not to rub it in anyone’s face–that there have been multiples is indicative of its mixed blessing)
This is not uncommon. In fact, it’s actually considered psychologically healthy to move from one relationship to another, with the exception of some situations (like dependency issues). So it’s not necessarily rubbing it in people’s faces. It’s one factor in a state of “normalcy” as suggested by the APA.
I know that feeling, Walky. Also, Happy New Year!

I used to know that feeling a lot, but then I finally got into a relationship a few years ago, and after how that turned out… well…
Let’s just say my attitude toward the subject is now more along the lines of “welp, one more item checked off the bucket list.”

I think they just need to name a series after the neglected line of the theme song.
Next up: “Transformers: Autobots Wage Their Battle to Destroy the Evil Forces of the Decepticons”
As an added bonus, now they don’t actually need a theme song, because the whole premise is spelled out in the title.
Didn’t they make that line fairly more prominent in Animated‘s theme?
Animated also added a new rhyming Couplet which I’m sure would make great Transformer series names.
Transformers:More Than They Appear
Transformers: Justice, Bolts and Gears!
“People are getting tired of seeing us name our various series, Robots in Disguise.”
“Well, what can we name it, if we’re not going to use that name?”
[months later]
“Next, on Cartoon Network, it’s Transformers: Disguised Robots!”
“Oh, but what about Transformers: Robots in Guise!”
“…….Steve that’s the same thing as “in Disguise. Now sit down and shut up.”
“How about Robots in the Skies?”
It’s kinda hilarious that he’s not jealous of Joyce at all, just of “an happy couple”
Why would he be jealous of Joyce? He doesn’t want to date Joe.
Or does he?
Joe is very blocky. he could probably cosplay a Transformer easily.
Wait, are Joe & Joyce a couple now? Why would Walky call them a couple? So confused.
I don’t think they are, but they certainly act like one. A very close platonic friendship, I’d say.
Of course, suggesting they actually start dating would cause either disgust or humour in both Joyce & Joe.
There are at least some overtones of romantic friendship going on….
Also… well, you’ll see over the next few days.
