Via the Instagram account of Jose Lopez, the art director on Transformers: Robots in Disguise, we get a handful of concept shots of some of characters from the show. Other than Bumblebee, which we are now familiar with, Lopez showed off the newcomer (to the franchise and show) Windblade face studies, and a full body concept Optimus Prime with thundershoulders - check them our below to see what we mean by that!

Yeesh, check out Op's shoulders. They're almost as big as his hammer.

Nice to see them, but Prime looked wonky! And Bee's design is pretty much identical to his final design, but what the hell is going on with that pose?

Looks like he is stepping to the side like his leg is broken, he might be shaking and twitching, kinda like he's been smoking, when a 'con chump punk points a finger like a stump, he'd tell them to step off, he's doing the hump.

The Transformers: Robots in Disguise line has been bringing together quite a few strands of the Transformers mythos, and the mystery behind new character Megatronus has yet to be cleared. We've heard of the Warrior class toy, we've seen both alt-mode and robot mode in the RID app - and now we have some screen caps featuring a battle between MEgatronus and Optimus Prime (who is also sporting a new body) in an upcoming episode of the show!

Check out the mirrored images below, via the Autobase Aichi Facebook page, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub.

Whoa, not bad. Maybe Megatronus came to Earth to avenge his fallen master, and Optimus was chosen to stop him.

This is obviously NOT the real megatron but he could be the prime known as megatronus

Or just an imposter of them

Hey looks like optimus does have a new body wait would that mean no more bumblebees leading the team and optimus leading it if yes that would be awesome

Maybe I need to start catching up with this show. Most of the episodes I've seen have just been much too childish for me. I don't hate it, but I don't exactly like it, either. But this First 13 stuff... that's what I like.

I`m so glad to see Optimus and Megatronus go against each other for the very first time. Does that mean that Megatron will finally reclaim his rightful place as he really should have, or is he? Also, as for Clampdown, is actually inspired by a Decepticon double agent named, Sideways, hence, the episode title?

Well, that makes me more hopeful for the series, glad to see Windblade is sticking around, hope she's a regular cast member now. Megatronus looks interesting, still not sure who he exactly is...

But the new look for Optimus is quite cool!

We don't know, as per usual.

Nope, it's just because he walks sideways.

2 guesses:
1) That is Optimus in the after-life training with Megatronus "part of the 13" Megatronus for a rising threat.
2) Megatronus is the rising threat and Optimus is finally brought back to life to deal with him.
Plus, is that the Star Saber Optimus is holding?

No, it's the Prime Decepticon Hunter that Optimus was being trained how to use by Micronus in episode 14.

Is it me or does the animation look a little off in those scenes.
