Robots in Disguise is definitely a lighter, more comedic take on the Transformers universe. There’s no ancient war being fought, meaning we can actually take the time to set-up a joke, and not feel guilty about it. Bee is front and center. Pptimus’ status is more mysterious than sorrowful. And there’s a younger, more inexperienced (aka less battle-weary) cast of characters.

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

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?

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?

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?

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.

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

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.
