Transformers: Robots In Disguise Season 2 Premier and Names For Episode 1 & 2

I submitted the news before he found it. Zap2it.com has it listed on their page. How come I wasn't credited with it?

Yes, we're all excited that Season 2 will begin next week or so. However, even if Overload is a Decepticon, I doubt that he will be the new boss for this Season. Don't forget it's Steeljaw who escaped the explosion after the Autobots threw a bomb at his face in the comics issue #6. Therefore, he survived. There is absolutely no reason that Overload will indeed taken over Steeljaw's place.

Unlike Season 1, instead of the Autobots playing cops-and-robbers with the Decepticons only in the United States, they will do it by traveling to the entire world. There is a strong chance that while they are there hunting down Decepticons in these locations, Steeljaw will very likely sneak into the scrapyard and release all the Decepticons once again without his enemies even realizing it.

However, because Hasbro portrayed the animals characters as bad guys, I have an emotional feeling that animals rights groups will protest in the cartoon studios to have that show pulled, because they believe that this show promotes animal cruelty. Well, I do have a message for these people. Activists, you won't take away our show, and you won't take away our toys. And I will stand up not only to you, but to anyone who tends to think that they do have what it takes to take our show away. Because yes, we are fan of RID, and we're proud to stand by it. You know, activists, you may not think that it's okay for us to watch it, but let me tell you this that here in this country, you can have any faith that you want and any lifestyle that you like!

No one said Overload would do that.

Curious to see how Overload, Crazybolt and the Cyclones are going to work out - we've seen Autobot Cyclones, right? Is there going to an Autobot Cyclone guy? Maybe a body upgrade for one of the existing cast - now that the main cast has mostly got toys (barring Windblade, presumably due to how recently she got a Generations Deluxe) we might see a change like that.

I've seen absolutely no sign that any of this is going to happen - why try and invent a villain where there isn't one?

Nope. Buzzsaws are Autobots, Torpedoes are Decepticons, and Cyclones are chaotic neutrals (but are considered Decepticons in the toyline, and might become Decpeticons in the show).

Here, in this box set Undertone is displaying the Autobrand, although advertised as pairing with Overload;

Edit: He's also got an Autobrand-shaped accessory sprue, so I think that would rule out a packaging mixup;

Was going by what the show said in the shorts that introduced the Cyclones.

Ah, cool. Was a little surprised to see Alch prisoners that weren't already 'cons - I was getting the impression in RID that being a Decepticonvict is almost a label applied to you rather than a political/military affiliation (makes me wonder about what happened to the term between Prime and RID).

The combination of Autobot Cyclone toys and a doubt that we'd be introduced to a neutral third minicon group that go on to entirely fall in line with the Decepticons makes me think we'll be seeing Autobot Cyclones in-show. My first guess would've been the blue-eyed Overload experiencing a change of heart, but him getting a Decepticon-aligned toy puts a damper on that. Hmm.

I think its a pretty safe bet that much of what was scene in those 5 short videos released on CN website, will be included in the first and or 2nd episodes. It also was confirmed that Cyclones were "chaotic Neutrals", however with Fractue trying to force them to join him, it is a possibility that other Cyclones may join either faction. Or perhaps these will be toy only. After all, Drift & Fracture, each have 2 minicons. it would make sense that Overload would have the two shown in the previous shorts.

Well, I'm excited for more minis. Thanks to Cary and the fact that my first 2 are adorable and I love them, I may start collecting those minis. At least the cyclones can roll around!

Overload looks awesome. hope we get a nice warrior or voyager class fig of him. not buying that deployer crap.

noone think that we'll get Cypher? coz that way we'd get a blue Bumblebee

She's too obscure for a mainstream line. She only ever appeared in fan-oriented media.

And RID Bee's design doesn't really look like her anyway.

Episode 29 (season 2 episode 3)'s title is now listed on Zap2it as "Metal Meltdown".

Thanks to Twincaster podcaster ScottyP, we have an update on season 2 of Transformers: Robots in Disguise - which was just announced at Toy Fair as airing on February 20th - with a trailer on the LA Times Hero Complex that replaces the teaser from a while back. The video can only be viewed here, for now, but we've included screenshots of some of the new characters (mainly Decepticons) shown in the trailer!

Check out this exclusive look at the new season, "Transformers: Robots in Disguise," the Transformers cartoon series.

The new season from Hasbro Productions puts Autobot against Autobot as Optimus Prime's authority. The Decepticons and Steeljaw are back. For those of you unaware of who or what Steeljaw is, he's the Transformer who also sort of looks like a wolf puppy.

Now, Bumblebee has to form his own group of hero robot aliens (called Team Bee) made up of Grimlock, Sideswipe, Strongarm, Fixit, Windblade and Drift.

Also in the mix is a Dinobot. The new season will premiere Feb. 20.

Is it just me or does this season seem like it's going to be darker than the first season? I'm really excited to see all the new decepticons this season has to offer.

Who is that at 1:00? The half-track below Windblade. Looks like a Blizzard Strike version of Perceptor.
