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.

Transformers News: Transformers: Robots In Disguise: A New Autobot Mission DVD Releasing in October

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.

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:

Ah, my favorite little nit-picker. Wondered where you've been. And he's obviously a rhino! If you honestly can't tell what he's modeled after, you have issues dude. :lol:

Also, this doesn't belong in the cartoon thread for the cartoon! It should be here.

First off, Season two is likely nowhere in the near future, as their toy sales for the RID line have been below par, I owe it to a lack of Decepticons on the shelves and Jurassic World clouting up space (though that line is cooler then RID TBH). Secondly, the chances of characters from the comics appearing in the show are excruciatingly low. Characters from the cartoon showing up in the comic? SURE! Visa versa? NO.

You know, Madeus_Prime, that might be true. Unfortunately, contrary to what most people believed, Season 2 is still currently in production, and not cancelled as previously thought. This was confirmed on TFW2005.com by Hasbro just weeks ago, pointing out that Season 2 will indeed make its debut, likely not this year, but mostly likely in the beginning of next year. So I'm pretty sure that there is a very good chance that we might see some of these comic characters make their presence felt in the cartoon once Season 2 hits. And should Season 2 is cancelled, Hasbro would have informed us about that already, which thankfully didn't happen. :BOT: :CON:

Yes, I am aware of that fact psj, what I was saying is that the beginning of next year is not the "near future". Either way, I think that season 2 is going to happen, but I bet it'll be shorter and have less original characters (sorry, but the monster of the week formula got boring a few episodes in)

As I said, the chances are extremely slim, and while I know you'll argue that Windblade appeared in the show from a comic, it's not the same Windblade from the IDW-verse so it doesn't count. Also, I have a feeling we'll see less new characters in season two, so don't expect much.

Madeus_Prime, maybe and maybe not. But again, in case you haven`t notice, Hasbro said on their website long ago that this cartoon is expected to have a total of 78 episodes. Therefore, how can it be that short if it contains 78 episodes?
Re: Transformers: Robots In Disguise: A New Autobot Mission DVD Releasing in October (1718136)
Posted by o.supreme on August 14th, 2015 @ 12:19pm CDT
Additionally, remember that 2015 RID is being produced concurrently in both the Unites States & Japan (something that hasn't occurred since Galaxy Force/Cybertron). Windblade is a new character produced by Hasbro, so like Drift, they are going to shove it down fans throats in every form of media possible, she was not created specifically for the comics, despite popular opinion.

It takes much more time to create an animated series than a comic, so I doubt any comics characters will appear either, unless they have already been developed for season 2, which is being producedcurrently. In which case, retroactively speaking, while such characters may have appeared *first* in the comic, they (by chance) appearing in season 2 of the animated series would not be because of the comic, rather, because it was planned out from the beginning for them to appear in multiple forms of media.

That would be like saying certain transformers in the original Animated Series were developed specifically from the comics (and vice versa), when one may have appeared before the other by chance in some sort of media. We know the comics had specific characters (Straxus, Jhiaxus, Xaaron etc...) as did the animated series (Devcon, Female Autobots, etc...) But the main Transformers characters themselves, for the most part (with few exceptions) appeared in both Comics and Animated Series

Simply put - Things change. This is CN after all, the killer of many a great series. It would be absolutely awesome if 2015 RiD ran 78 episodes, but until then, we should remain cautious, and not put anything written anywhere online in stone. Remember Transformers: Animated season 4? Oh no you don't, because while it was planned, it never happened, thanks to the very same network that is airing RiD right now. Why this series didn't stay with Discovery Family is beyond me.

Don't forget that a lot of the shows that CN killed were ones that CN themselves had made or had a hand in making. RID is being made wholesale by Hasbro Studios, so even if CN chooses to stop airing the show, Hasbro Studios can seek another venue or go straight to DVD for the remaining episodes (but they most likely wouldn't want to do that since a TV airing is more preferable to them).

o.supreme wrote:Why this series didn't stay with Discovery Family is beyond me.
Even the worse CN ratings are better than the best Discovery Family ratings. More people watch CN since it's a channel that more people have when compared to Discovery Family. RID airing on CN makes it more accessible and more likely to succeed than if it were to air on the less mainstream Discovery Family.

Exactly what I was going to say :lol: . Cartoon Network has killed off so many fun and cool shows, before their time, Animated just being one.

I agree that CN is probably carried by more cable & satellite providers than Discovery Family, however, about the ratings. I am not sure. RiD 2015 had just over a million viewers for its premier, and averages about 700K viewers per episode since, according to Wikipedia. However RiD 2015 being for younger audiences, airing at 6:30am on Saturday Mornings is almost a death sentence when compared to Prime, which aired on Friday evenings, when everyone could watch. Of course, in this day when most people can just DVR a show, the early time may not be as much of an issue, but I really don't believe (unless someone can get some solid numbers) that RiD is getting more viewers than Prime did. Of course, as you mentioned, if CN does try to pull the plug, hopefully Hasbro does have a backup plan, if not, then hopefully they will have learned by being burned twice by the same network, never to do business with them ever again.

You know, D-Maximus_Prime, I also felt the same way, too. There is no way this show is getting cancelled. Why? Because Steeljaw, the main bad guy for the show is still alive and at large. So, if this is really the end of Robots In Disguise, then it will upset a lot of fans, due to the fact that Steeljaw was still alive and not being capture or even killed. Therefore, as far as I know, season 2 will indeed happen. I don't care when or where. Just air them! Why? I just love vehicles that have the ability to turn into animals. I would only just hope Hasbro will be making more figures of these characters that is yet to be seen. :CON:

Yet Animated had a semi-lead-in ending to a fourth season. Yet Cybertron ended with all our characters going on to other aventures. Yet G1 ended with freaking Galvatron and Scorpinok alive and well!

I'm not saying that it'll be canceled psj, as you take anything we say literally, I'm just saying, due to average ratings and mediocre responses from the fans, I don't expect much from it.

*yawn* Eh, frankly the only piece of Transformers media I'm interested in is the Combiner Wars motion-comic/cartoon and the IDW mainstream comics. If season two is canceled, I'm not going to lose sleep or awake time over it. If it isn't, I'm going to skip watching it. Because this has probably been the least "wow" Transformers show I've ever watched. Plus, Transformers fans are too jaded to be upset over a cancelation of a TV series like this one. I was genuinely pissed off when TFA was canceled. I won't be if this should be.

Having caught up on all the episodes, I feel very much the same way. RiD overall just feels like it didn't want to actually do anything. There are hints of greater things here and there, but at precisely the moment everything should come together... it's all tossed out for some "epic" plots taken from better series sans any of the necessary gravitas.
"Gasp, Megatronus killed Solus Prime!!" "....oh no? Solar who?"

And unlike other shows that unabashedly embrace every cliche in the book, this one didn't have any characters I care enough for to stick around even the lamest writing imaginable.

Exactly, it felt lackluster, that's the word for it, they had potential, but the results were below expectations, the lack of Steeljaw for instance, the dues ex machina insertion of Prime and Megatronus, the disappointingly boring Strongarm, and the goofy Grimlock (sorry, I know G1 was a goof, but he was a freaking badass goof!).

The lure of TRANSFORMRES saga begins a new chapter as BUMBLEBEE and a team of AUTOBOT action heroes embark on a new mission to protect and save Earth from a new faction of DECEPTICONS. Hasbro Studios’ new top-rated animated series TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE, which airs on Cartoon Network, is the latest installment of TRANSFORMERS franchise and builds on the lore of both the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS. Featuring an all-new animation style, this new hit series is filled with exciting, action adventures and great humor for fans of all age.

The new mission begins as BUMBLEBEE must step up to be leader in the years after we left the AUTOBOTS in TRANSFORMERS PRIME. Summoned by OPTIMUS PRIME to save Earth from a new DECEPTICON threat, BUMBLEBEE puts his light-hearted mettle to the test after assembling a rouge team of AUTOBOTS action heroes. BUMBLEBEE must balance his job fighting off evil with being equal parts squad leader and coach to a rascally team that needs constant coaxing to learn how to work together. The results are comical when the cool rebel SIDESWIPE, elite guard cadet STRONGARM, bombastic dinobot GRIMLOCK and overly-excited mini-con FIXIT must balance keeping the team together with chasing and capturing their new enemies in each adventure-filled episode.

TRANSFORMERS ROBOTS IN DISGUISE features the voice talent of Will Friedle (Boy Meets World), Darren Criss (Glee), Constance Zimmer (Entourage), Khary Payton (Teen Titans Go!), Mitchell Whitfield (TMNT) and Peter Cullen who voices OPTIMUS PRIME when he makes cameo appearances in this series.

Well, what other TF cartoon could be referring to? ;)

Prime's over, RID's on CN, there's only one other TF cartoon that's currently airing on Discovery Family and is going to get a fourth season in the near future.

Perhaps he's confused not by "what" the other series is, but your opinion of it as "much better". I'm not here to argue opinions, spent way to much of my time doing that in the early days of the internet. But still, I know there are a percentage of fans that don't even consider Rescue Bots to be a true Transformers show, relegating it to something akin to those "Go-Bots" videos that accompanied the pre-school age toys from 2003-2004-ish let alone "better" than a current main stream Transformers show. Truth be told - If I did not have kids, I would not have watched a single episode of Rescue Bots, so I don't discount those who have the same line of thought. Admittedly however, after watching several episodes with my son, I do understand its appeal to children as it is very well written for them.

Admittedly when I first heard that TF: Prime was getting cancelled I was extremely upset (still am a little), but then I decided to take a step back and look at the example, of all things - Batman - I have pretty much every animated incarnation from the 1960's Filmation to 2013's Beware the Batman, and all the animated movies in between. Sure the more adult oriented ones appeal to me as an adult fan, but the series has to occasionally shift back to younger audiences to regain its core demographic (and sell toys of course), this is why shows like RB & (hopefully) RiD 2015 fare so well. Still its good to know adult fans are not being totally ignored, we will have our Combiner Wars, and if done right, it could be amazing.

Well, I get we all want a fourth season of Animated, what I'm asking is where is your assumption founded?? Why do you think we're getting a continuation of what is, IMHO, the best TF show since Beast Wars? Because, as far as I know, we've not heard anything to found these rumors.

Animated's dead, dude. That show's over, finished.

It doesn't even air on Discovery Family.

Robots in disguise needs to be DISCONTINUED! SHOw is awful! Bumblebee being a leader just not and never will be right.OPtimus looks like a clown in this series i mean you sacrificed yourself in transformers prime to creatr animal like deceptichops? And creating a geisha autobot and more weaker autobots? Common writers of this show must think twice or even 50times, one decepticom per episode? thats just a waste! Put bumble bee aside hes like a tulip put ultramagnus and original autobots in the show and optimus should be just the leader and stop the idea of having beastlike bot or con its really annoying.

I thought Bee being a leader was interesting, especially since it was a small group and not the autobots as a whole. He really showed maturity and yet still maintained a kid-appeal to him. The character development was impressive.
Optimus' look actually looks cool. It's almost his Beast hunters body, just tweaked for the animation and I thought he looked better in this than in most other cartoons.
The idea of 1 decepticon per show was cool, and that eventually some formed up as a team provided a good nemesis. The animal look is different, but it created some very good designs. Not all were winners, but there were some fine looking cons.
I also like that the other bots aren't there yet. They will make appearances in season 2 occasionally, and I like new characters. That's what was fun: Brand new autobots not seen in some time or not at all, brand new cons not seen in a long time or not at all. And the animation allows for more to be created since they are less complex. Thunderhoof needs to be a recurring character now, he was pretty awesome.
I believe it is the same team creating this show as Prime (and if I'm wrong Saber will correct me). And they make it work well. i like it as a sequel. enough callbacks to make it a sequel but enough new material to make it new and refreshing.
of course this is my opinion and you are perfectly entitled to yours, but I personally liked it.

And by the way, as I see you are new, Welcome Friend! :D :BOT:

Mirage9, *deep breath*

mirage19 wrote:SHOw is awful! Bumblebee being a leader just not and never will be right.

This series was about testing the waters, with the target audience of kids, of a non-Optimus helmed series, because I think Hasbro realized that Optimus was becoming a bit of an old hat. Did I like 'Bee as a leader? Not really, he questioned himself even more then Rodimus did in season 3 of G1.

mirage19 wrote:OPtimus looks like a clown in this series i mean you sacrificed yourself in transformers prime to creatr animal like deceptichops?

*pinches brow* It can be assumed that all the Decepticons we meet are from the war, in other words, pre-Prime Finale... Younger Cybertronians who aren't war-hardened (not that this is exactly a grim show) like Sideswipe and Strongarm are presumably from the latest generation of Cybertronians.

mirage19 wrote:And creating a geisha autobot and more weaker autobots?

*sigh* She's not modeled directly off a geisha, but modeled off the Japanese style of theater known as Kabuki, which, yes, has geisha's in it, but the direct basis is not a geisha (I find it hilarious you can spell geisha correctly but not create.)

And they made the Autobots weaker to generate drama, and if you look at any series post G1, where the stats were fairly even, the Autobots generally don't have the upper-hand in strength, it's called rooting for the underdogs.

mirage19 wrote:Common writers of this show must think twice or even 50times, one decepticom per episode?

Sentence doesn't make sense. They're trying to emulate Power Rangers and it's somewhat successful Monster-Of-The-Week with a stereotypical personality based on its look. Case in point: Octopunch, is a salvager octopus, talks like a salty seadog.

mirage19 wrote:Put bumble bee aside hes like a tulip put ultramagnus and original autobots in the show and optimus should be just the leader and stop the idea of having beastlike bot or con its really annoying.

Never heard somebody be called a tulip in an insult-like capacity. Oh, and it's too late to change anything.

While Bee did question himself a lot, you can see why. He had young renegades as his team, and he himself didn't feel up to the task. But he did grow in his work as the season progressed, and honestly he makes a pretty good commander to me.

I also liked that we did get so many decepticons. Sure they haven't been realized as toys yet, but there were some incredible characters created, and something new is always welcome :BOT:

Optimus questioned himself in his youth too. Younger leaders don't know everything since they're too inexperienced. Optimus was no exception either.

I am on the fence about this show. I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. It is something of a mixed bag for me. I've been watching it slowly as it isn't something that has drawn me to the point I have to see the next episode. Maybe it's because each episode seems disconnected from each other, like you could watch them in any order and it would be fine.

However I love the look of the characters and think the figures are amazing. I want more Con toys, cause like I said I think the designs are amazing. The animal Decepticons to me are kind of a cool contrast to the traditional villains we get in Transformer shows.

As the show continues, more and more callbacks to previous episodes are made in later episodes to the point that several episodes must be watched in their proper chronological order in order to fully grasp the bigger story of the season.

I'm still in the early episodes, episode 9. I'm going to watch the whole thing, it just might take me a while. It hasn't drawn me in like other versions of Transformers has. I want it to be awesome and look forward to the later stuff people are talking about.

It might be best to watch it at a steady pace, like one or two episodes per day, instead of trying to marathon it all at once.

Hasbro Studios seems to have it tough with the first seasons of their TF cartoons, with Prime season 1 lacking in enough of a clear vision or direction being an obvious example. Of the three TF cartoons that HS has done so far, Rescue Bots turned out to be the one with the strongest first season, having the most focus of the three shows' first seasons.

Season one was ok but I would like to know what is happening with the old "Prime" crew especially Bulkhead and Knock-out. Plus I would love to see the threat of Airachnid and her Zombie Insecticons to rear their ugly heads.
