Fellow Seibertronian Sabrblade has spotted a series of screenshots from the Chinese airing of upcoming Transformers: Robots in Disguise animated series, as captured and shared by Weibo user megatronus. The image below can and should be considered as minor spoilers for people interested in the story of the series, so tread at your own peril!

What we do get to see are the character designs in animation context of the main cast of Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Strongarm and Grimlock, plus Optimus Prime, what looks potentially like Drift and a couple of unknown characters - but no Decepticons yet. Check them all out mirrored below.

Now we know why they call her Strongarm. Looks like she's a fan of Sideswipes chest plate XD

Anybody else here thinking that the truck in the 4th screenshot should have been the alt mode for Kup in the Generations line? Or any line for that matter?

Those two smaller bots look an awful lot like whatever is on Drifts arms. I wonder if they are Mini-cons?

...

so...anybody else find the last three pics rather unsettling?

Also, the 2 mini-cons make me think Drift has kids.

Ha! Sure. Or your Alt mode. :lol:

I'm really liking these character designs/art direction. I think Prime looks cool. They all look cool.
Do I recognize those credited names from TFPrime? If so, it's comforting to know it's a similar crew making this show.

Ah oh. Strongarm and Sideswipe gotta thang goin' on.

Wonder what will happen when Prowl shows up. Love triangle.

I just noticed, Optimus here does not look at all like his toy aside from his chest

Hmmmm. You're right. His head is close, but he's wearing his mask. I don't recall seeing that wicked ax.

We don't know the whole story yet. For all we know, Optimus is still dead at first and then comes back at some point (after all, it's Peter Cullen who's voicing him, and we know how he feels about Optimus dying and staying dead). These pics look like they might come from an episode later than the first one. Let's wait and see what's up.

You think that's Jazz? Could that be Smokescreen? I can't see his head that well. Neat looking design though. I like how his tires are his shoulder joints. I like some jazz. :DANCE:

I'm likeing the color mood of this show. Reminds me of Zelda, Windwaker.

Yeah, someone jotted down brief synopses of the Chinese episodes on another site, and wrote that Jazz appears in episode 10.
