Nice to see this video again. We saw it on Hasbro's website with six other clips, but it's still awesome.

Steeljaw's looking and sounding as cool as ever. Can't wait to see him as the Cons' new de facto leader.

Yeah, I realised it showed up once before as I clicked Submit on the news, but a reminder is good and we hear some of the voices again rather than the Chinese dub/just stills.

Strange that Hasbro choose a cast of beast only Deceptions. But, since the crash site seems to be in a forest, I assume they scan the wildlife for their alt modes? Makes sense.

For some strange reason I really like Thunderhoof. He is kinda goofy looking with the horns and all, but I like him for some reason. I hope they make a one step out of it. Definitely loving Steeljaw, but my boys are not getting the concept that while they were multiple robotic wolves in AOE, it is now just one character with a personality. I tried to use the 80's Kraang and the new hive minded Kranng from the new TMNT series as a comparison, but I am not sure they followed....they are really little and the multiverses in the TF fandom seems to confuse them.

Except for Fracture, whose robot mode is the only non-beast-like one we've seen so far.

Here's what we do know so far about the alt-modes for the Decepticons so far:

Steeljaw: Futuristic Monster Truck
Underbite: F1 Racer/Tank Hybrid
Hammerstrike: Submarine
Bisk: Muscle Car
Fracture: Motorcycle
Thunderhoof: Tractor
Quillfire: Armored Pickup Truck
Springload: Ford Bronco Pickup Truck
Clampdown: Boyracer Coupe

The Decepticons that have altmodes, but not confirmed, yet are as follows:

Terrashock: Futuristic Van Resembling A Ram Promaster
Filch: Drone Fighter
Ped: Construction-type Vehicle

What are your thought?

Filch is a bird in altmode. She has a robot mode.

Knock Out was voiced by the ever-awesome Daran Norris.

Protoman was right, this Decepticon line-up looks like a Megaman X boss select screen...AND I FRIGGIN LOVE IT =P~

And Thunderhoof (Thunder...sooooo close, had it been fire-based it would have totally been a Flame Stag homage) looks SICK, I hope they all get good toys, shame about the "everyone will be a deluxe" thing, some would be better as voyagers.

For those of you who might not have seen this, I`ve recently went to a Transformers-Sourced website called tfw2005.com in the forum section, and this is what I`ve found. One of the users of this site has posted some images of the alt-modes of some of the remaining Decepticons. Here are the confirmed alt-modes of each Decepticon:

Ped: Tanker Truck

Springload: Ford Bronco Ranching Pickup

Terrashock: Large Four-Wheeled Truck

While tfw2005.com has confirmed that Terrashock is a four-wheeled truck, many people have speculated if Terra`s alt-mode is really a garbage truck, or a dump truck. Is that really a garbage truck, or a dump truck? You decide.

Following the recent announcement that Robots in Disguise will start airing in March 2015, the official Hasbro Youtube Channel has posted two new videos featuring Fixit and Optimus Prime. The Optimus Prime may be a spoiler to some viewers.

Fixit

Optimus Prime

Rest easy, everyone. Optimus is not what he appears to be. According to additional spoilers from the Chinese-dubbed videos of the series, Optimus is still deceased. The scene in which he assists Bumblebee's team against Underbite and gives them there instructions is a temporary occurrence of Optimus manifesting into the physical world, sort of like the opposite of astral projection. Once he's completed giving Bumblebee's team their instructions, his brief time in the world of the living ends, returning him back to the afterlife.

Peter Cullen is Optimus Prime to me but, that voice doesn't look right coming from that body.
