[Stuartmaximus]

so just watched episode 5 of season 2, aye it was a no bad episode!

the minicons were ok(Swelter & Glacious)

I think it's called Scorch Strike: Scorch Strike Beastbox, Scorch Strike Undertone.

yet ANOTHER Con that forms a 4WD!(Razorpaw) how many is this now?

I guess we have another potential Deployer now.

Because there was not enough time, I guess.

In the game, Razorpaw`s alt-mode is portrayed to be some type of 80s-type muscle car, similar to the 1987 Mustang hatchback. But in the cartoon, it appears that his vehicle mode, is much more of a SUV, like Steeljaw. Is Razorpaw is actually a car as was shown in the game, or he is a SUV? Also will he part of Steeljaw's militia, since that he will be releasing at least most of the Decepticons from their pods, just as predicted in the trailer? So far, we all already do know that Bisk, Springload, Quillfire, Clampdown, Thunderhoof, Groundpounder, Kickback, Overload, and many others will be part of the team. But what about the rest, like Hammerstrike, Chop Shop, Terrashock, Malador, Veretebreak, Octopunch, Scowl, Fracture, Zizza, Filch, and Pseudo? What about these guys? Will they be part of Steeljaw's group as well? Is the Jailbreak is in fact going to happen in the following episode, "Brainpower?

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I'm thinking Razorpaw will not be a part of the main group of badguys. He, like Polarclaw, are now stored in Windblade's caches and not the actual scrapyard, so if there is the jailbreak they would not be in the right place to be broken out.

I also cannot see them releasing all the prisoners. It feels a bit too cheap and I think Steeljaw would prefer more ideally loyal troops than some of the more independent cons.

[psj333]

Will more brand-new Decepticons will show up in the upcoming episodes of Season 2? If they are, will they be more dangerous and tougher to catch than any other Decepticons combined? Also will brand-new Autobots (excluding Team Prime) be in this series, as well? If so, will there be an Autobot spy? If there is going to be an Autobot spy, will it be a humanoid or an animal-based one?

[D-Maximal_Primal]

We really don't know psj. I wish I could tell you, but I don't know anything. However, new cons are highly likely

[Stuartmaximus]

as for a spy, i dunno if they could introduce someone like Doubledealer or Punch/Counterpunch or if they went the TFA route! then maybe Shockwave/Longarm?

Well, quite possibly. But what many of you might not be aware of was that there was another Decepticon named, "Fancyclaws", a name given by Windblade because that is not his actual name, bears a resemblance to Razorclaw, since there are both cats. Rather than being a cougar, Fancyclaws was actually a black leopard. He first appeared in episode 23 in Season 1. You must first reassure yourselves that it was actually Bumblebee that captured Fancyclaws and not Windblade, thus, located in the scrapyard and not a chache. Since you said that Razorpaw can't be one of Steeljaw's member, will Fancyclaws will likely be a member in that case, since that he is located in Bumblebee's scrapyard? If he does become one, I'm pretty that he will be given an actual name, transform, and finally will be given a speaking role.

"Fancyclaws" was the name the wiki gave him after Razorclaw became a different character, and that guy was so generic all he did was growl and get knocked out, so I highly doubt that guy will have much to say in the series. And Windblade captured him, not Team Bee.

Here, let me give you a little hint. This is a quote taken from TFWiki site:

""Fancyclaws" was one of the many Decepticons incarcerated aboard the prison ship Alchemor, and was freed after the ship crash-landed on Earth. He eventually ran into the Autobot Windblade, who was on a mission of her own. Although "Fancyclaws" blasted her with his claw-lasers, she was able to take him down as Sideswipe watched. His unconscious form was secured inside a stasis pod alongside the fugitives that Bumblebee's team had recaptured. The Buzz on Windblade"

Does that sound like Fancyclaws' been captured by Windblade to you? To me, from the quote above, this most likely refers to the Bumblebee's scrapyard and not Windblade's chache. It should be noted that Windblade did not started putting Cons in her chaches, until she left Bumblebee's Team to join Optimus' Team for a new assignment.

If you would read your original post, you would see I was telling you Windblade captured him, not Team Bee. He may be held in the scrapyard, but I was correcting you saying Windlbade captured him not Bee. If you watched the episode you would also see she captured him.

And he was a generic. i very much doubt he will do much. Several of these guys are just generics. they are like the prime vehicons, just given different forms rather than a single design. Only the major characters or ones that have appeared more often or ones that have attracted more attention than others will probably show up, but as i previously stated, we do not know anything you don't already know.

Does the firefly Insecticon, Glowstrike, has a vehicle mode, like Kickback, or has a beast mode, like Scorponok and Sabrehorn? So far to date, Kickback is the only Insecticon to have a vehicle mode.

We're not talking about Hearts Of Steel. We're only talking about Robots In Disguise 2015.

Fellow Seibertronians, a short clip from the upcoming sixth episode of the new season of Transformers: Robots in Disguise has been uploaded to YouTube. The synopsis has been left below, although, it doesn't seem to have any link to the preview, which involves 'Bee, Strongarm and Grimlock attempting to capture a Mini-con that has the ability to blind opponents. So check out the video and let us know what you think in the comments below.

Grimlock's attempt to make himself smarter by transferring all the information in a Cybertronian data cylinder directly into his brain goes horribly awry, leaving his team at a disadvantage against genius ape Decepticon Simacore.

[Hellscream9999]

This sounds vaguely reminiscent of the G1 cartoon episode where Grimlock made the Technobots, I hope by 'horribly awry' they mean this episode is hilarious, been extremely let down by this season so far

[Sabrblade]

That Mini-Con looks to be a remold of Airazor.

This sounds vaguely reminiscent of the G1 cartoon episode where Grimlock made the Technobots,

It sounds like a cross between that episode ("Grimlock's New Brain") and the TF: Prime episode where Bulkhead gets a massive data upload into his brain from a data cylinder ("T.M.I.").

Should be decently funny then, I already like Grimlock

Sure, but they really couldn't have come up with something more original than mashing together the plots of two very known episodes (one from the very previous series, even)?

I prefer that to the near-ceaseless whining about o/p that the season has been so far, but I agree

[Stuartmaximus]

good episode! but basically it's Grimlock's New Brain!(sadly no Technobots were created this time) Simacore(a recycled Ground Pounder) + minicons Axiom & Theorum were ok.

meanwhile minicon Tor-Pur got little screentime at the start.
