I feel that similar characters/stories could have been made with more traditional-style Decepticons.

The further we move away from tradition and cliche tropes the better.

So we both want different things. Nothing wrong with that. I'll enjoy what I got even if it's not entirely my cup of tea.

I'm fine with agreeing to disagree.


Although in my eyes personally I would think that a perfect balance between having new thing and keeping some of the old ways would be best.

For example Having characters such as Alpha Bravo and Steeljaw exist while also having some of the old guys such as Prime and Starscream with maybe some new things with them so their not rehashes of before.

Strange dates for episodes. Back to back days for new episodes? Strange...

It is good for us who like to see new episodes as quick as possible. however it is typical CN, just trying to burn through the new episodes as quick as possible, no doubt so they can snuff this series from their roster so they can show more endless Uncle Grandpa & Teen Titans Go reruns.

Anywho... The episode was ok. I was actually way more interested in The away mission & Polar Claw than Bumblebee & Overloads battle.

Interesting to see that Steve Blum "voiced" (or more accurately provided all the noise for) Polarclaw, Backtrack & Ransack. Good to see he has quite a Frank Welker-esque ability to him. Also perhaps we might see Starscream before its all over? Who knows....

I was kind of disappointed Polarclaw didn't speak. Also I thought it was kind of weak that the Cyclones would turn on Overload so quickly. I would have maintained that,in order to show their unwillingness to take orders at all, they would not have so quickly joined Overload in the first place (I mean look what happened to Fracture if you happened to see those short episodes). However I have no doubt they will be back with Overload before the end.

For those who are already living outside of North America, the European brand known as Simba-Dickie has recently posted images of the upcoming RID toys made by them. They are radio-controlled cars. One of these toys that really caught my attention is Grimlock's vehicle mode.

Here is the image of what Grimlock's vehicle mode would have looked like in the cartoon:

But what does this mean? Does this mean that Grimlock will finally successfully scan a vehicle mode for Season 2? In Season 1, he has tried many attempts to scan a vehicle mode, but still failed.

It doesn't mean anything it's just a toy that has nothing to do with the show I mean look at that robot mode do you think it would be in the show?

Grimlock will still and always will be a Dinosaur in the show.

Fellow Seibertronians, fellow user Survivefan23 has pointed us in the direction of Toon Zone member 'Red Arrow', who has listed the episode titles for Transformers: Robots In Disguise episodes 8-13. They are as follows:

-208 Bumblebee’s Night Off

-209 Impounded

-210 Portals

-211 Outstanding

-212 Decepticon Island (Part 1)

-213 Decepticon Island (Part 2)

So what do you make of these titles? Let us know in the comments below.

That "Decepticon Island" two-parter sounds interesting.

[Lunatic Prime]

That "Decepticon Island" two-parter sounds interesting.

Reminds me of Transformers Animated Dinobots Island.

[Madeus Prime]

Reminds me of Transformers Animated Dinobots Island.

Probably has to do with Steeljaw's idea of having a safe haven for Decepticons, maybe Scorpinok and company help instigate it? Just theorizing here

Wait a sec? Isn't Season 2 supposed to have 16 episodes plus a movie, thus, totaling 19 episodes? Now they said 13 episodes? Have they already changed their minds? Or is this just the beginning of Season 2 and there are more on the way?

No one has said that episode 13 is the last episode. This is just a listing for more episode titles that happens to go up to episode 13.

Well, looks like Hasbro did officially kept their promise now, haven't they? You know what? Now I already understand, now. Thanks, Sabrblade.

Also 16 episodes plus a TV movie does not = 19 episodes. It is still 16 episodes plus a TV Movie. --Never in the history of watching TV shows have the titles of all the episodes of a season been revealed all at once. it is usually a slow, gradual process. Because of the speed at which CN is airing the episodes though, we have been privy to more information than usual, but it still isn't all the information. Whenever the last episode is announced it should be overwhelmingly obvious, and you'll see fans talking and speculating away.

Haven't you forgotten? Hasbro had already stated that the TV movie contains 3 episodes in one, which means by adding those, this makes 19. Understand now?

I like the idea of the scanning a new paint job. Works nicely and is a cool ability to have!

[Stuartmaximus]

just watched episode 3 & WOW they're introducing a lot of new characters fast! Scorponok, Saberhorn, mystery Grasshopper/Drag Racer, Underbite repaints, an orange Airachnid looking fembot & whoever that fembot in red was, that was with Scorponok.

[RevTibe]

a yellow Airachnid looking fembot & whoever that fembot in red was that was with Scorponok.

Red fembot was called Glowstrike (Glostrike?), looks like she'll be one of the central villains!

Totally dug the Prime-based generics - greenish Prime Insecticon, Orange Airachnid and yellow and gray Vehicons hanging in the back.

By greenish Decepticon, I meant this big guy (although I suppose he's largely teal).

Hoping we see some of the generics in action - I love the Insecticon design from Prime, so the idea of having a redeco'd one of those running around in this series tickles me.

[Stuartmaximus]

ah right, nae prob

btw is this Airachnid

& btw everyone's geeking out at that ending! all those sweaties out there

[psj333]

Stuartmaximus, this is not Airachnid, since that she was infected by Breakdown before becoming a Terrorcon on an unknown planet. Her only successor in this sequel is Glowstrike. But I wonder if Glowstrike and Windblade can be great rivals, since they both fly?

Look, I do know that we're not supposed to believe everything what the Internet says. But a Trasformers website known as TFWiki.net, recently said that episode 4 Suspended will be moved back to March 12th instead of the 19th. But, what does this mean? Could it be that the episode is finally moving back to its original timeslot, since that a lot of fans are very anxious in seeing it?

The Wiki said that because TVGuide said that.

Yup, I see what you mean! Only one question remains: Does that mean that Zap2zit is right and TVGuide is wrong?
