Transformers: Robots In Disguise - Meet the Decepticons

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.

That one dude has antlers. $#!+ just got real.

Thunderhoof.

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

No...stop it...the toy would probably suck anyway...

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

why would i rest easy about optimus? who wants a show about bb?

Cuz he's awesome.

From the TfW2005.com website, in the forums section, I`ve seen a picture of Terrashock`s alt-mode, it is a huge four-wheeled, semi-truck. But I still can`t tell if Terrashock is really a garbage truck or a dump truck. Can you tell which type of these trucks does he really belong to

So, basically, lots of people.

Well, you make it sound like a semi-truck. So...if you had a picture, maybe we could help out better, but giving us a vague descriptor and then three different types of trucks...doesn't really narrow it down.

Nemesis Maximo, you wanna know where to find the picture? Simply google it by typing Terrashock's Garbage Truck Altmode and press Enter. Then click on the TFW2005.com link to go to the site. Then, scroll down until you see the image of Terrashock's actual altmode, and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

Bumblebee, recently, seems to be the most famous Transformer/Autobot of all time.

That's a lot of work when you could just paste the pic here. Today is my day off, you see, and I intend to do as little as possible. So there.

He's obviously a...garbage truck. I'm not sure why you're confused.

It's the merchandising and writing of the live action films. In Animated, he shared the same amount of spotlight as everyone else, and in Prime he was a minor character and a plot device up until "Deadlock."

The picture of Terrashock`s altmode posted by william-james88 moments ago is a truck. But it is really a garbage truck or a dump truck?

You know, why not just wait for the show to come out instead of asking all these things prematurely? What good is there knowing about all this stuff now when that would ruin the surprise of a lot of it?

psj333 wrote:The picture of Terrashock`s altmode posted by william-james88 moments ago is a truck. But it is really a garbage truck or a dump truck?

Its a garbage truck. It reminds me of this

Since Steeljaw is the new leader of the Decepticons, is Terrashock the muscle for the Decepticons, along with Underbite, or that only Underbite is the main muscle for the Decepticons?

psj333 wrote:Since Steeljaw is the new leader of the Decepticons, is Terrashock the muscle for the Decepticons, along with Underbite, or that only Underbite is the main muscle for the Decepticons?

Why not let the show tell you itself?

Any question you have, the answer is invariably "We don't know yet."

Annnd there we go. That's why this show just rubs me the wrong way. I rewatched a few Prime episodes to refresh my memory, and nowhere in Prime is Bumblebee more capable or more special than anyone else on the team. It's incredibly jarring for him to suddenly be important enough to be the lead when there's little to no lead up to it.

But you have to watch the last episode and the predacon rising movie. Bumblebee gets a sudden huge boost in importance as he upgrades from scout to warrior with Smokescreen telling him he could be Prime one day. Looking at this albeit forced turn, this new series makes total sense.

I don't know if you realize this or not, but we DON'T KNOW ANY MORE THAN YOU DO. This website isn't the weird omniscient cabal you seem to think it is. It is not here solely to answer your pointless questions.

In addition to what william-james88 said about "Deadlock" and Predacons Rising, Bee had a few episodes in which he was given some highlighted moments, such as the "Operation Bumblebee" two-parter and when he singlehandedly outsmarted and defeat Airachnid all by himself in "Partners". Bee had his moments, they were just more subtle than most..

Plus, whenever he guest stars in Rescue Bots, he is treated like a celebrity by that show's cast, and for good reason. He is awesome in that show, even without his ability to speak properly.

Though, as Optimus had abolished the Prime rank as being the single highest power of authority on Cybertron, it isn't likely that Bumblebee is the new "King of Cybertron" or whatever. He's more likely akin to Optimus Primal or Animated Optimus, being the captain or boss of a smaller unit while other bots hold political positions of office or high military rank.

He's the star of this show, yes, but likely not the head honcho that Optimus was. The show's just gonna focus on him because he's special in the real world, even if he isn't special in the fictional world.

Just like the Autobots, are the new Decepticons for this new series also a young group? If so, how young are they?

don't get me wrong I always love a good megaton and Optimus fight but right now I like bumblebee as the new autobot leader and the decepticon's I absolutely love the new ones so far except clampdown and I really want some new decepticon info during toy fair

Why do you keep asking questions that you know we don't have the answers to?

Dude, let it go. I didnt realise only until recently that very young people are also on these boards. For all we know, we may be talking to someone who's 10,11 or 12. That would explain both the level of excitement and lack of understanding of the knowledge of this board.

Well, he's been on the board since 2008 (since which time he's continued this endless inquisition for six years straight) and has shown to have an educated detailed knowledge of things like human evolution and interrelation between species producing genetic hybrid species (such topics which aren't covered until the latter levels of academia higher than those taken by pre-adolescent children, in courses devoted to anthropology and Earth sciences, and most commonly found in college institutions), as well as knowledge from the production side of anime that aired on TV back in the late 90's/early 2000s, so I would be very surprised to learn of psj333 being so young as 10-12 (since that would put him at Age 4-6 when he first joined and began his unanswerable questioning).

To be fair, knowing about shows that aired before you were born isn't uncommon in this day and age. But at the same time, being persistent about a line of thinking despite being told it's totally pointless is not restricted to any particular age. (Rodimus2006 was in his 30s, if you recall)

I just meant to say that you never know what the deal with someone is and thus shouldnt let it get to you. Yes, persistantly asking random questions may be annoying and done in ill intent, but it can also be a sign that the person has a mental handicap. You never know, thats all I meant by all this.

When I say that the Decepticons are a young group, I was talking about the ages of the fans. I was only talking about the ages of the characters in the series.

If you reread that sentence, you will notice that it is entirely incomprehensible.
