This is probably Hammerstroke's alt mode:
Also, I dont think this is a buffalo, it looks more like Cliffjumper (as shown in tiny titans asosrtement) with armour.

I don't know. Tiny T Cliff has car hood feet. Those look like hoofs to me.
What evs. I just like Buffarobos. The last time we saw a buffalo, it didn't work out so well.
So much so, there are no photos in our own galleries.

The synopses I mentioned being on another site refer to a bull Decepticon being in episode 5, and make no mention of Cliffjumper in all 13 episode descriptions.william-james88 wrote:Also, I dont think this is a buffalo, it looks more like Cliffjumper (as shown in tiny titans asosrtement) with armour.

Also I doubt that's actually a new alt mode for Grimlock.
Looks more like a funny scene where he tries to look like a car in order to blend in. I mean, he's got a wood plank as his lightbar.
Notice his symbol is scratched out? People seem to want to see Steeljaw turn into a interesting character, this could be proof.
Either way, Jazz looks pretty cool, Drift's mini-mes are interesting, Thunderhoof looks awesome, the buffalo bot looks cool, as does the bird bot. Hammer strike is a bit simple for my taste.
No idea who these two are.

At first I thought the Con might be Fracture, but the silhouette is off.

The buffalo guy seems to be in his robot mode, he has hands instead of hoofs in the upper extremities.
I like all the beast/robot modes so far.

Wonder how many will get toys or how many will be recurring? As it is, getting kind of a monster-of-the-week feel. And with the "escaped prisoners" story, I'm REALLY getting Power Rangers Time Force vibes.

Thirded. I was really on the shelf about the show, but some of the Cons have piqued my interest.

Please tell me that last image of what looks like an killer whale with gold tusks is Torca. Please, please, please! Torca is easily my favorite Fuzor, I'd love to see the character get the love he deserves, even if he's a bad guy.

A new Con every episode, some having more than one per episode, others having the same Con returning, some even having captured Cons escaping to shake up the status quo; this is gonna be FUN!Nisus wrote:Cobotron wrote:I'm with you Madeus.

Tortoise inspired?
I have to agree Emerje. He's awfully Torca-ish, or Elephora-ish.

i love every one of these cons so far. i think the red one is a new character. predaking is a little too noble to be a con and i think its a little obvious he hates cons even though they created him

The 'cons of this new series are slowly drawing me in.
I get a Battle Beasts vibe from Thunderhoof and a Breast Master feel off Steeljaw, and most 'cons as they resemble animals in bot mode and take a vehicle alt mode.
I've always loved Jazz.
Gimme MP!

It almost looks like a cross between Galvatron and this guy:
Is it just me, or does it look like this 'Con is wearing lipstick? It almost reminds me of Roz from Monsters Inc.

Talk about a missed opportunity for awesome figures of Drift and the guy people are calling Fracture. Maybe they'll get proper Voyager-comparable figures later, something like Voyager Soundwave/SoundBlaster/Blaster.

psj333 wrote: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?
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...

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 ).

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.

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.

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

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.

I did not like that about Tron Uprising, and I certainly don't like it here. You're right, it's a major step down from Prime.

If you ask me, it means they can now afford to put more effort into everything other than the animation, which seemed to be their Priority One for Prime, and everything else suffered in Prime because of that.
