In a preview clip episode #11 of Robots In Disguise, a beige Decepticon who transform into an armored militarized pickup truck is revealed as Flamefeather, You might remember him from G1 as a Firecon as a comics-only character. As his name suggests, Flamefeather is described as some type of bird, just like his G1 counterpart. In episode #7, there is another bird-like Decepticon called Pickpocket. Because trucks don't fly, this lead us to believe that Flamefeather himself is actually a ratite, which means a flightless bird. Pickpocket on the other hand, does fly, which lead us to believe that when he transform into vehicle mode, he will be some type of a plane of sorts. What you say about that? Do you admire the fact that Flamefeather is both a bird and a truck at the same time, as opposed to his G1 self?

Maybe the purple guys are Fracture, Divebomb and Airazor, from the Kre-O line. Underbite has a little partner as well called Ped. It´s an OK concept, I don´t hate it but I´m not super stoked about it.

And just where are you getting any of this information? Do you live in China, where the show already premiered? It would explain the awkward grammar, at the very least...

What I did, Metro Prime, was I previewed the clips online from 1905.com while I was in Canada. And that`s where I got all the information from. By analyzing the clips, I do get all the information from where I realized what to these new animal-based Decepticons will be like in the new show once it hits in the West.

Hmmm...the minibots are interesting, I am liking the idea of Fracture's being bombs and Drift's being shuriken.

I can't help but see RID Drift and think Bludgeon. *sigh*

If I didn't know any better, I'd think it was Bludgeon too (though, I'd also question his mustache and lack of a skull face
).

Yeah, those colors mixed with a samurai motif are VERY Bludgeon-esque.Seibertron wrote:I can't help but see RID Drift and think Bludgeon. *sigh*

About time they brought Jazz back! He's always been my favorite Transformer ever since 1984! And he looks awesome! Hopefully he'll appear in more than one episode, maybe he'll be like how Wheeljack was in Transformers Prime. I hope he either has Transformers Animated voice actor or Fall of Cybertron voice actor. Can't wait! Oh and I hope they make a toy of course…maybe a masterpiece...

Now that I have permission from their source (user Unluckiness of Allspark.com), here are the English translations of the Chinese synopses for episodes 1 through 14 that were posted on 1905.com.
Do note that obvious spoilers lie ahead.
Do note that obvious spoilers lie ahead.
Episode 1:
Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Strongarm follow the guidance given by a vision of Optimus Prime. From the planet Cybertron, they face a new challenge: Minicon Fixit's prison ship crashes on Earth, with the Decepticons prisoners aboard. Their stasis pods are scattered about. Denny and Russell are a father and son duo who live in Crown city. Danny's hobby is collecting used machine parts from a large junkyard.
Episode 2:
Bumblebee's team awakens the Dinobot Grimlock who fights and defeats Underbite. Underbite tries to escape to Crown City but Russell and Sideswipe use an aluminum car model as bait to lead Underbite into a quarry where he is defeated by being pushed into a pit. The image of Optimus Prime appears and commands Bumblebee to lead the team in defending Earth
Episode 3:
An oil tanker near Crown City is attacked by Hammerstrike. Hammerhead paranoia grips the seas throughout the planet. Bumblebee and Grimlock team up to defeat Hammerstrike. Strongarm confronts the reformed Decepticon Grimlock, mistrustful of him, causing Grimlock to leave.
Episode 4:
Chop Shop appears, having been stolen equipment to build a spaceship to leave Earth, lacking only the fuel to power the ship. Bumblebee is dispatched to capture him. Fixit's timely assistance allows him to defeat Chop Shop.
Episode 5:
A stasis pod is discovered near the Crown City Museum of Natural History. Denny and Russel, disguised as archaeologists and the Autobots in car form manage to obtain the stasis pod. The bull-like Terrashock emerges from the stasis pod. Bumblebee's team is exposed to the public during the ensuing fight thanks to Danny and Russell.
Episode 6:
Thunderhoof masquerades as a monster from local folklore known as the Kospego and commands humans to collect components to construct a space bridge leading back to Cybertron. The activation of the space bridge causes unexpected consequences, trapping Bumblebee and Sideswipe within the portal. Thunderhoof is transported elsewhere and runs into Grimlock.
Episode 7:
A bird-like Decepticon, Filch, is detected and is successfully captured by Bumblebee's team after some difficulty. Reality show director Denny wants to interview Larry LaRue, an antique collector but is rejected. Strongarm realizes that her teammates are more important than a rigid adherence to rules and regulations.
Episode 8:
Steeljaw secretly plants a Nitan, a louse-like device, inside Grimlock's body to control him. Grimlock is sent to attack a car junkyard and obtains Underbite's stasis pod. Bumblebee and Sideswipe manage to expel the Nitan and bring Grimlock back to normal. Steeljaw and Underbite manage to escape.
Episode 9:
While on patrol alone, Strongarm encounters Springload, a frog-like Decepticon. Springload believes that he is still on Cybertron and searches for the legendary lost city Doradas. Bumblebee, secretly tailing Strongarm, helps her to defeat Springload.
Episode 10:
The Autobot Jazz arrives from Cybertron to investigate the crash of the prison ship. The earthworm-like Decepticon Ped excavates the area near a scrapyard in search for energon crystals. The Autobots place energon near the residual energy signal of the stasis pod as bait to apprehend Ped.
Episode 11:
Bumblebee engages Quillfire in battle but is infected with a toxin that renders his intelligence at a child-like level. Quillfire later releases the elephants at the zoo but Bumblebee and Grimlock manage to corral them. Bumblebee defeats Quillfire and the toxin wears off.
Episode 12:
Two Cybertronian spacecraft land to the West of the Crown Forest. The Autobots pursue the Decepticon Fracture. Drift saves Bumblebee from Fracture, for which Bumblebee thanks him after the battle but Fracture manages to escape.
Episode 13:
The crab-like Decepticon Clampdown appears in Crown City's flood control channel. Clampdown's MO is to persuade others to uncover hidden treasure. During the fight, Clampdown is saved by Steeljaw and forced to join his army
Episode 14:
Optimus trains under the Minicon member of the Thirteen in order to better capture the Decepticons. The skunk-like Decepticon Stench, with the ability to spray an incapacitating toxin, appears, leading a gang of four. Grimlock, Sideswipe and Strongarm succumb to the toxin but Bumblebee is able to save the day. After the battle, Bumblebee reminds his team members of the value of focus and unity in their mission.

Looks interesting.
By the way Flamefeather was not a comics only character. In fact he was available in G1 and G2.

As the day for its airing in the west draws near, we have the Robots in Disguise Official Opening (intro) available, thanks to Youtuber Gokai Jolt. It is very reminiscent of Transformers Animated with a quick spotlight on the main autobots.
And for those in anticipation of the show and its toys, we have a bunch of high definition galleries for the various toys available here.

What is it with Hasbro Studios and Transformers cartoon themes? Do they honestly think "generic action music" = "catchy theme song"? First Prime gets a boring tune and now RID gets an incomprehensible one.
This just means that Rescue Bots still has the best theme song of the three Hasbro Studios-made TF cartoons.

There's a tad too many sound effects. It disrupts the theme song, which does sound pretty good. I hope we see an isolated/instrumental version of that single track at some point.

Ugh, I agree. Transformers needs a fun theme song, not theme music. Especially stuff as boring as that. TFA was about as close as we'll get to a catchy redux of the original theme.

Wow that was some hot garbage!
I didn't watch the Prime series but for a few scene's here and there. But based on this new series versus the Prime series, Prime was way more impressive looking. I think the rings in the eyes worked in Prime but that's it, we got a new lame TF series in 2015...'nuff said!
