New Transformers: Robots In Disguise Concept art featuring early "Matches Malone like" Denny

Posted by william-james88 Jul 27, 2015 at 9:29pm CDT 41,397 views
Artist Jose Lopez has posted some new Transformers: Robots In Disguise concept art on his Instagram account. These feature some renditions of Strongarm, Fixit, Russel, Bumblebee and Denny, who looks far more like Matches Malone (one of Batman's undercover disguises). The character of Denny had changed quite a bit since conception, as we already knew from our very own Jon Bailey who auditioned for the role, and this is further proof of that.
Also, notice how Fixit initially had threads instead of wheels to move. We also get a bit of an insight into the Bumblebee design from Mr. Lopez:

“Bumblebee from Transformers Robots in Disguise. It was really tough concepting a new look for TF while still wrapping Prime. But we are very happy with the look, plus these guys are easier to draw haha! “

Denny looks... different.

Is it wrong my first thought upon seeing that Strongarm was "Dark Samus"?

Proto-Denny's mustache makes me think of Don, Griffin Rock's resident reckless driver, from Rescue Bots.

Billy-J, I think you mixed up who Denny and Russel/Rusty are. Might want to fix that in the news post. Makes it look like Rusty was originally conceptualized as a dirtbag mildle-aged man instead of a tween boy. I don't think his character changed THAT much during the evolution of the show.

Yeah, Denny's the dad, Russell's the son.

Proto-Denny looks pretty cool. And I'm glad they changed Fixit's coloring. Two blue 'Bots on the team would have been a bit much.

I'm glad Fixit has wheels instead of treads and changed his color to orange it really makes him look more like an actual living guy instead of a drone.

Ironic, considering what episodes 18 and 20 hinted about Fixit's past.

Really glad they went with Fixits wheels. Also glad they gave Strongarm wings. I like a bot with wings :BOT:

If you're waiting to add the full first season of Transformers: Robots in Disguise to your Transformers home video library, well, we don't have that news for you yet, but thanks to Seibertronian o.supreme we've got a heads up on a Pre-order at Amazon for Transformers: Robots in Disguise: A New Autobot Mission. Shout! Factory will be releasing this DVD on October 27th, 2015.

Judging by the running time of 110 minutes, it appears this will bring you the first five episodes of the new series.

Will this tide you over until a Blu-ray release? Or maybe this season's episodes just reserved a spot on your DVR for a few months longer? Chat about this and anything else show related by replying to this post, or by visiting our ongoing Robots in Disguise show discussion thread in the Energon Pub.

I posted a review on Amazon as well. I don't want to discourage perhaps parents with kids who don't get CN from purchasing the DVD perhaps as something new they have never seen before, but most of us that are no doubt waiting for full season sets should of course hold off. I know most of us have probably watched the episodes online as they were made available from iTunes Australia months ago, but Bravo to CN for trudging along, and not canceling the series, or changing its day/time (at least not that I am aware of). The season should conclude on 9/12/15. So *hopefully* S!F is preparing a full season release for Q4 2015 or Q1 2016. They were pretty quick about releasing the DVD's & BRD's of Prime, although I fear the industry is moving more and more towards digital only releases, hopefully S!F still gives fans such as myself the tangible media (and high quality presentation) we prefer.

I just started watching the series, but I would love a full season release. I like having the Transformers series on my shelf and this one is one that I'm enjoying. I hope we see one soon.

The first season's still not yet done airing in the U.S., so we'll at least have to wait until after it is.

Are there any plans to bring in more Dinobots? So far Grimlock is my favorite character and it would be fun to see the rest of the Dinobots show up.

Comment by o.supreme Aug 6, 2015
Well there are no plans to add any more of the traditional Dinobots, (Slag, Swoop , Snarl, Sludge) that I am aware of. However... be sure to watch CN on 8/15/15 when they air episode #22 "Similarly Different". I wont spoil it for you, but I'm sure it will answer your question.

All 26 episodes are online right now, so you can watch them all before they finish airing on CN. ;)


For everyone who is trying to catch up on watching this show but doesn't like Dailymotion, a much better site to watch this show on (and tons of other shows as well) would be KissCartoon. It uses YouTube as its media player and even allows you to hide all of the flashy ads that are on the page.

Sabrblade, I've just went to the TFormers.com site, and found a picture or a snapshot of a new Robots in Disguise comic book coming out soon. Inside the book, there is a brand new Decepticon named, Transit, who have a bus altmode. In the image shown, the bus stops in time to pick up its passengers. Un-noticed, this bus transform into a Decepticon. Despite having being a bus, Transit doe not appear to have a human form, but an animal form. By judging his looks, what animal does Transit closely resembled? Here is the image shown below:

Is it likely that those new characters in the comics, will someday be in the Robots In Disguise 2015 cartoon for Season 2 sometime in the near future? :CON:
