Am I the only one who's displeased with how the Predacons got handled? Predaking doesn't show up, and the other two get killed off in the most casual manner since Scorponok and Terrorsaur just so Starscream can get a makeover. Way to treat an endangered species, guys.

Starscream claimed he destroyed Darksteel and Skylynx, but I'd say the visuals were ambiguous enough to leave their fates open should the writers decide to have them alive later, with an explanation being that they were chased off by Darkmount's defenses, leaving Starscream to just think that they were killed. After all, Starscream has an ego big enough to believe such a fantasy. ;)

Point taken, but unless Hasbro decides to put Predacons back on the shelves, which strikes me as unlikely, I doubt the writers would be allowed to go down that road even if they wanted to.

They were allowed to bring back Prime Soundwave at a point when there was no new Soundwave toy.

Recent events are having me wondering if that actually was a toy tie-in; leading up to it slyly without us realising.

Considering that episode originally aired in Spring 2016, about a whole year before the point when the forthcoming Soundwave toy will see release (Spring 2017), meaning that the episode had to have been created in 2015, I have my doubts of that being the case since 2015 would be way too far ahead for the showrunners to know about any toy plans for 2017.

Sabrblade, the forthcoming RID Soundwave Warrior figure coming out in Spring 2017 retains his Prime head, but with a different body. Unlike the Prime Soundwave, who turned into a drone fighter, this version of Soundwave actually transforms into a futuristic armored military van. This means most likely when Soundwave fully returns in Combiner Force, he is expected to have a brand-new body in the same way as Starscream and Ratchet were before. He is also most likely that he will finally talk throughout the entire season, as it is confirmed that Frank Welker (Soundwave's voice actor) will return to voice acting. :CON:

Note: Frank Welker voiced Soundwave in Prime as he did way back in G1.

He was never implied to be dead though, just shoved into another dimension. Plus he's a big G1 name, so they probably don't mind him staying in circulation.

And even if the Preds do turn up alive, I'm really annoyed that Starscream didn't receive the mangling he had coming to him.

Is it confirmed that he'll voice Soundwave, or just voice someone in RiD? And even if he does voice Soundwave, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll have any set amount of lines.

Since the Preds had Starscream completely surrounded, with the throne blocking his way behind him, I'd imagine that they might have gotten to pummel him some before he was able to slip away and flee for his life.

Sabrblade, just weeks ago, Hasbro had recently released photos of brand-new figures that I'm pretty sure that almost all of them will appear in Combiner Force series, as stated by io9.com. One of the figures that I do look forward to is Twinferno, as you might remember him back in the G1 series known as the Headmasters. He is the second Autobot next to Grimlock to be animal-based. Compared to most animal-based Cybertronians, Twinferno's alt-mode is unique, which is actually a vehicle-beast hybrid, that is a jet that is based on a two-headed dragon. Where did Hasbro get the vehicle-beast hybrid alt-mode from? Another thing about Twinferno is according to TFormers.com, it states that while the G1 Twinferno is described as a Monsterbot, the RID Twinferno is actually a Dinobot like Grimlock, even though he is listed as a dragon by Hasbro standards. Should he makes his appearance in RID, will he retain his G1 personality for sure? :BOT:

If you read HERE you will see that only some of these new toys will be appearing in the show. Not all of them are for sure gonna make an appearance.

Where does it say that?
In any case it likely refers mostly to Skywarp.

First 2 sentences. I'm thinking it may be more than just Skywarp though.

I believe you're most likely refer to Skywarp, Blundgeon and, Blastwave, as those are repaints. It is Blurr, Cyclonus, Soundwave, and Twinferno, who will mostly likely to become cartoon characters, as Blurr has made numberous appearances on G1, Armada, Animated, and then Rescue Bots. Soundwave did return in RID, but given his RID toy release, he is expected to have a brand-new body. Cyclonus, as mentioned by Hasbro will be the dictator of Cybertron, thus, leader of the High Council (as mentioned in the cartoon). I don't know about Twinferno. But it is likely he will appear as well as he did in G1 Headmasters. :BOT: :CON:

Wait, what? What's G1, Armada and Animated got to do with this Blurr?

But yet, we've already had repaints show up. Scatterspike and Paralon showed up, not to mention all the desert and arctic camo sets.

I'm still hoping for a Megatron appearance soon. I want to see him again

TF Generations (i.e. Titans Return) have nothing to do with RiD15, or what characters will be featured.

Theoretically possible, but since there was no sign of it onscreen it still feels like they got cheated of their vengeance and Starscream didn't get what he had coming. I want my catharsis, dammit.

And I'm still crossing my fingers and hoping to see how Knock Out is doing as an Autobot. Then again, if they threw out the whole "Starscream is loyal to Megatron now" thing from the last season or so of Prime, they'll probably ignore Knock Out changing sides, too. Megatron might have a better chance of keeping his character development, if only because his absence is part of the backstory and Cyclonus seems to be the next big bad (and therefore Megatron isn't).

Thanks to the Transformers Family, we bring to you news that the final 3 episodes of Robots in Disguise season 2 will be airing on December 16 as a Television Movie Event on Cartoon Network! The final 3 episodes, which star Starscream and the weaponizer minicons, are all being lumped together into this single movie event, which could very well be the TV movie that was anticipated to end Robots in Disguise, before Season 3 was announced. You can check out the video below advertising the movie, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
