Jeff Kline on Transformers: Robots In Disguise Tone and Setting

so glad they have the time to SET UP JOKES now.

Just to clarify, by "no ancient war being fought" he means the war is over, not that there never was a war.

there's always a war when decepticons are around!

There wasn't a war in Animated.

there was a war in animated it was long past and decepticons were exiled until they found optimus and his crew then met back up on earth

I phrased that poorly.

I meant in the present day, like how there was one in RID's past but not its present.

Animated definitely had a war in its past, yes.

My sister saw the new Sponge Bob movie, tonight. She told me that there was a trailer for RID before the real trailers started. Would anyone know if this is a lie, there's a new trailer, or they just showed a trailer we've seen already?

Unless a new trailer suddenly shows up soon, it's probably one we've seen already.

Though, it's not unusual for movie theaters to advertise TV shows during the ads that play onscreen before the previews begin. If you get to the theater early enough, you might catch oridinary commercials playing onscreen before it becomes time to start the previews.

She just confirmed to me that it was that last Season 1 trailer that came out a few months ago, after I showed it to her. I hoped for, but didn't expect anything new.

Is the liquid that Bisk sprayed from his mouth is water or laser? If Bisk altmode is really a muscle car, why he chooses to live under water? Cars don't go on or in the water. Only boats and submarines could do that! I would really love to see how his altmode turns out once he hits in the Toy Fair 2015.

So far, the characters that turn into car altmodes are Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Jazz, Drift, Bisk, and Clampdown. From what we already know, Clampdown is the smallest car. Is Bisk is the biggest car than any of these Transformers combined?

Only on a Thursday.

You still haven't answer my questions, Va'al. Is Bisk's car mode the biggest? Because from what I've seen in the images, it seems that Bisk is much bigger, taller, and much more muscular than Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Drift.

Definitely maybe, but towards a right angle. You should see on March cables.

You know, Va'al, from what I've read from Sideswipe's bio, it says that he's rebellious, but cares about the people that he loves most. Aside from that, he's very boastful, do whatever it takes to win, and feel very proud about it. Now, when I look at Bisk's bio, he's also loves to race and fight, and feel proud about it. Does that mean that Bisk is Sideswipe's rival, or a Decepticon version of Sideswipe? Is Bisk really rebellious? If not, then which Decepticon is?

Onions.

We don't know...because the show hasn't aired, all we know, from the teaser is that Bisk has the personality of a over-enthusiastic video gamer, it seems he's desperate to win whatever he's doing. This doesn't make him a rebellious Decepticon, for all we know he's easily cowed by his team mates and is simply easily distractible. And in case you didn't notice, not every Autobot has to have an equal Decepticon rival.

Madeus Prime. You said, Bisk has a personality of a video gamer. Does that mean that he is a very young Decepticon to begin with? Based on his design, is his car mode is the biggest than, Bnumblebee, Sideswipe, and Drift?

I'm waiting to see what his vehicle mode looks like when he arrive in the Toyfair later this month.

psj333 wrote:Madeus Prime. You said, Bisk has a personality of a video gamer.

He only knows that bit because of the old video we all saw. He doesn't know any of the other things because the show has not aired yet.

Video gamers come in all ages psj333, and it's possible he might be one of the younger Decepticons, and considering his alternate mode appears to be Cybertronian in nature, I suppose it is bigger then the Autobot's vehicular modes.

How young can these characters even be when even Bumblebee is a veteran of the Great War that was fought thousands of years ago on Cybertron?

Madeus Prime. I`m pretty sure that the majority of all video gamers are generally young people. This is because the older they get, the less they`ll be interested in video games. You`re right that Bisk is the biggest car ever so far up to date, which I`m glad to hear. Hopefully he`ll get a Warrior figure for that!

Some people said the same about Transformers fans.

Again, we're just basing this on the snippet. In terms of sheer size, Underbite is, and I think even Va'al will concur with me on this, the biggest of the Decepticons we've seen thus far, in robot and vehicle.

Madeus Prime, If Bisk is really a muscle car, why he chooses to live under water? Cars don't go on or into the water. Only boats and submarines would do that.

Who said Bisk lives underwater?

In fact, who said anything about where Bisk or any of the characters in this show live?

Sabrblade, if you had seen the clip of episode #4 on the 1905.com website, you can clearly see Bisk jumped out of the water. This leads to believe that Bisk lives under water, as he is a lobster.

Madeus Prime, in episode #14, there is a Decepticon named, Stench. But of how skunks look, I'm wondering if he turns into some kind of a motorcycle, like Fracture, or a sleek looking car, like Sideswipe, Jazz, and Drift. Is it likely that Stench is mostly a bike or a car?

I don't want to watch the clips on 1905.com because I don't want to be spoiled by the Chinese dub.

The show's already gonna be airing in English in Australia well before it airs in the U.S., so I really don't think it's necessary to go looking for clips now when the full episodes will likely hit the Internet weeks before the first episode even makes it to U.S. television.

psj333 wrote:Madeus Prime, in episode #14, there is a Decepticon named, Stench.

That's not his confirmed English name. The name "Stench" came from Chinese episode descriptions that were translated into English by a fan, and all of the Decepticon Chinese names were words that translated into words with literal meanings.

Examples:

• Underbite's Chinese name means "Tusk"
• Chop Shop's Chinese name means "Butcher"
• Terrashock's Chinese name means "Earthquake King"
• Filch's Chinese name means "Pickpocket"
• Springload's Chinese name means "Bounceman"
• Ped's Chinese name means "Soil Particles"
• Quillfire's Chinese name means something like "Flamefeather"
• Fracture's Chinese name means "Broken Bones"
• Clampdown's Chinese name means "Big Sanctions

Whoever this skunk Decepticon is, we DON'T know his English name, but with DO know that "Stench" is just the translation of his Chinese name, NOT what his English name is confirmed to be. And the reason we don't know his English name is because we haven't been told what his English name is.

o rly?



In all seriousness psj33, he seems to be some sort of Cybertronian vehicle, not a muscle car, going by the teaser, he might be all terrain, water being included in that.

As Sabrblade stated, Stench is the placeholder title for him. And we have no idea what he transforms into, it could be a plane for all we know, we've not even seen a robot mode to base this off of.

psj333 wrote:Madeus Prime. I`m pretty sure that the majority of all video gamers are generally young people. This is because the older they get, the less they`ll be interested in video games.

This is rather patently false. My dad is in his '50s and still plays video games, having started long before me birth.

Madeus Prime, what makes you say that Stench might actually turns into a plane and nor a car or a bike?

psj333 wrote:Madeus Prime, what makes you say that Stench might actually turns into a plane and nor a car or a bike?

He was speaking hypothetically when he said that. You do know what it means to speak hypothetically, right?

psj333 wrote:Madeus Prime, what makes you say that Stench might actually turns into a plane and nor a car or a bike?

theory

noun the·o·ry \ˈthē-ə-rē, ˈthir-ē\

: an idea or set of ideas that is intended to explain facts or events

: an idea that is suggested or presented as possibly true but that is not known or proven to be true

: the general principles or ideas that relate to a particular subject

It was a theory, just because I suggested such a thing doesn't make it true. Almost everything about this series is pure speculation, because we have not seen it in English! For all we know Steeljaw might be a Autobot secret agent or Fracture might be Starscream in disguise. Anything we say or suggest within this site as to the information in the show is pure speculation unless it is confirmed by Hasbro itself.

Madeus Prime wrote:For all we know Steeljaw might be a Autobot secret agent or Fracture might be Starscream in disguise.

Now he's gonna think you're serious about these as well.

psj333 wrote:Madeus Prime, what makes you say that Stench might actually turns into a plane and nor a car or a bike?

He is just speculatiing you are really starting to tick me off so STOP

When I analyzed all the Decepticons from the 1905 website, I notice that when they call, yell, or scream, they all make animals sounds. If that's true, are these sounds can be used as alternatives to car horns? Don't forget. They're all animals turning into vehicles.

Thanks for the spoilers.

Why are you asking us?! You sound like a frigging game show host! You're asking empty trivia questions that NOBODY can answer BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW ANY MORE THAN YOU DO, and when people try to answer, you just insist on your equally speculative and equally incorrect answers. SERIOUSLY. This website is not an omniscient cabal, and it is not your personal wiki/search engine.
You do it on the TFWiki, too! Pointless speculation and outright @ss-pulls, including but not limited to:
Insisting that a certain character somehow "has" to have a rival
Making forced and incredibly awkward connections, like "Strongarm is OBVIOUSLY based on a female bodybuilder" and "This character is totally similar to a completely different and unrelated character because I say so"
Blatant made-up nonsense, like "This guy has this altmode even though the show hasn't aired yet and we have NO WAY of ACTUALLY KNOWING"
Speculation is fine, but when you start DEMANDING that people make guesses about things we'll know anyways in a month or so, it just gets pointless and irritating.
Okay, rant over. Phew!

Metro Prime, I`ve already been to the 1905 website before. Have you?

JUST SHUT UP OH AND THANKS FOR SPOLING THE SHOW FOR ME JUST LEAVE US ALONE PLEASE OR BEGON rant over

Madeus Prime, last time, you mentioned that Bisk is an all-terrain vehicle and not a muscle car. But from the looks about, he does actually look a lot like a muscle car too me. In case you haven`t noticed, the front of the vehicle in one of the Robots In Disguise clips actually resembles a mid-1960s Pontiac GTO, which is the first true muscle car. This could explain that Bisk is actually a pretty big bot. So, I would say. that Bisk is actually a futuristic version of that car.

Can you please stop hust wander that question

OzFormers member Firestorm has found via a search of Australian pay-TV provider Foxtel's website, the dates and times for the first three episodes of Transformers:Robots in Disguise on Cartoon Network.

Pilot - Part 1 will air at 9:30am (AEDST) February 21
Pilot - Part 2 will air at 4:30pm (AEDST) February 21
Pilot - Part 3 will air at 9:30am (AEDST) February 22

Both Part 1 and Part 2 will be repeated from 6:30am on February 22 and Part 3 repeated that afternoon at 4:30pm.

I've also included a screenshot from Foxtel's online TV Guide for Saturday morning.


So for all our Australian members out there, set your alarm clocks for Saturday morning!

Ozformers said Episode 3 is named "Trust Exercises" instead of "Pilot - Part 3".


Looks like this'll be the first North American-made TF cartoon to air in English in a non-North American country before its U.S. or Canadian airdate. I bet a lot of folks will be watching online uploads before the first episode even reaches American shores.

USA release dates

Pathetic time slot

Primetime premiere on March 14 at 6/5c, then moving to a 6:30 a.m. slot on March 21.

When is seems like we were getting confirmed premiere dates for everywhere but the U.S., tvinsider.com has finally revealed the date and time slot for the U.S. premiere of Robots In Disguise. You can officially catch the first episode of the series on March 14 at 6/5c before it settles in its permanent home March 21 at 6:30 a.m. on Cartoon Network. That's right, you can get a bowl of cereal and sit down to watch new episodes of Transformers on Saturday mornings. On top of that, they have an exclusive look at the series which you can view here.

That timeslot... I'm not sure I can say my true feelings on it and stay within the TOS, because there's some very salty language that comes to mind with a 6:30 AM timeslot. A lot of four-letter words, there. But...

They're not even giving it a chance. Good ()(*&^%$$#$%^&*() lord this is classic CN behavior.
