Since Steeljaw, Kickback, Glowstrike, and Sabrehorn infiltrate the scrapyard, which will most likely be a success, now that Bumblebee and his team are already on the Decepticon Island where they will meet its dictator, Scorponok, here are my predictions on what most likely will happen in next week's episode, "Misdirection,":

1. All or most of the Cons will be successfully freed, since Steelaw promised that he will indeed release all of them.

2. Filch will show her human form for the very first time.

3. Pseudo finally gets a vehicle mode.

4. Malador and Nightstrike will transform into their given vehicle modes.

5. Brand-new Cons will likely appear and be mostly likely very challenging and nearly indestructible, quite simlar to Megatron.

I know what I said, but I've got to do this:

Since Steeljaw, Kickback, Glowstrike, and Sabrehorn infiltrate the scrapyard, which will most likely be a success

How do you know this? Where's your evidence to back up this? And maybe they don't infilitrate it, maybe they just will bomb the place, if those stasis pods can handle crash landing, incendiaries won't hurt em.

There's no reason to believe that, you've been claiming that's what'll happen since the third episode!

Pseudo finally gets a vehicle mode.

We've gone over this! He doesn't have a vehicle mode, he's got a default robot form, but can shapeshift into any other robot or vehicle.

Malador and Nightstrike will transform into their given vehicle modes.

Filch will show her human form for the very first time.

Betting you those two never show up again, short of background cameos.

Brand-new Cons will likely appear and be mostly likely very challenging and nearly indestructible, quite simlar to Megatron.

Bahahahaha! Have you watched this show? The Decepticons, no matter how powerful, have never been this easily beaten since G1!

Psj, I get you love this show to death, perhaps bordering on necrophilia. But this is getting ridiculous, not one of your theories has once panned out, your voice does not represent the RID fandom, heck, there barely is a fandom, and also, the vehicle modes don't matter.

You wanna know? Here the proof from tfwiki.net/wiki/Misdirection:

"New clues emerge about Decepticon Island and Steeljaw creates a plan to infiltrate the scrapyard while Bumblebee, Grimlock and Strongarm confront the leader of the island."

This is the official synopsis for #7 Misdirection.

This episode airs today for those who are living in the U.K. Therefore if you find anybody who has the video link for that episode after it airs, please post it up so that we can view it online.

Well, they might, someday. You'll never know.

Well, we'll see about that, when I get in there and tear that argument into threads in the near future.

No...that's the TFwiki's summary. You're blowing the context of what they are saying out of proportion. New clues means they probably only find out there is some haven for Decepticons. Steeljaw probably is only planning and working with the new Cons, not acting yet. And the home team probably meets Scorpinok for the first time. That's probably it.

Well, they might, someday. You'll never know.

Okay there, that is a reasonable sentence. There's a chance we'll see them again sometime, but don't automatically assume every episode is going to reveal something amazing

Well, we'll see about that, when I get in there and tear that argument into threads in the near future.

What argument?

Does anyone have a video clip of episode 7 "Misdirection" that was aired earlier today for those living in the UK? If you find it from anyone, please post it up for everyone to watch.

That would be against the site rules, so please don't.

[Stuartmaximus]

just watched episode 7 & it was quite good, as we get to see our first good look at Scorponok(+ he had some nameless minicons with him), also Crazybolt makes a return, meanwhile Steeljaw frees all the captured deceptions back at the scrapyard(most of them assume their vehicle modes except for 2....Overload & Groundpounder!...still haven't seen Overload's vehicle mode in the cartoon yet! hopefully one day we'll get to see it).

all in all...not a bad episode

[Madeus Prime]

he had some nameless minicons with him

Not just nameless! Those were Bludgeon model Minicons.

most of them assume their vehicle modes except for 2

And all of them are characters whose vehicle modes are already known.

You know what? I did too. But I just wish that Steeljaw would release more Decepticons in the near future to form his own guerilla force. But he didn't. Did he really do it on purpose? Or is this just the beginning, and there are more on the way? Well, perhaps, we'll most likely see them all in the season 2 finale, "Decepticon Island", except for Scorponok, since that he did turned his back on Steeljaw. Oh. wait a second. Did Crazybolt also betrayed Steeljaw as well?

I watched it as well. Thank goodness for friends in the UK making these available online. When its all said & done. CN US will only be airing the finale about a month behind (not as bad as the 4 month delay last year after Australia iTunes made most of them available way early LOL!)

Anyway... I dunno... Scorponok getting beaten and basically taken out of the whole story as easily as he did really didn't impress me. Sure I know they have to devise a way in very little time for Steeljaw to take over, but man, it made Scorponok look weak.

I like that the Team Bee episodes progress the Decepticon island story, but I am definitely more a fan of the Team Prime episodes (Of which we have basically only seen 2) I hope we at least get one more before the two part finale where they will no doubt bring everyone back together. Also...I have this dreadful feeling that we are never going to get any more background on Fixit, or why Decepticons not on the prisoner manifest keep showing up.

In an odd way...It feels like IDW with MTMTE & RiD. If CN weren't such an awful entity they definitely could have built 2 series out of this, or at least extended the season to a full 26 episodes (as it should have been), but oh well...Hasbro apparently has a short memory (Cancellation of TFA anyone???). Transformers had a safe spot on Discovery Family, Rescue Bots is starting it's 4th season for Cybertron's sake! It never even would have gotten a 2nd season on CN!

Via German TV series website fernsehserien.de, we have a couple of summaries for the entirety of Transformers: Robots in Disguise season 2, whichi we've copied below to avoid spoilers for those who are following the series. In the meantime, episode 7 'Misdirection' has a short preview via CartoonRealms on YouTube as we've seen previously, which can be viewed embedded below!

More hints about Decepticon Island are revealed when Steeljaw invades the Scrapyard with a clever plan, and Bumblebee, Grimlock and Strongarm confront Scorponok, one of the Island's leaders.

Episode summaries:

Episode 8 - Bumblebee's Night Off
Bumblebee is convinced by his team to take a night off and go to his favorite band's concert, but it gets dangerous when Bisk attacks the stadium.

Episode 9 - Impounded
Grimlock’s search for a better camouflage is running at full speed when Quillfire returns. Meanwhile Bumblebee and Strongarm are stuck at an impound lot.

Episode 10 - Portals
Fixit tries to carry out a repair, but it goes badly wrong. To everyone's dismay he summons two of the most dangerous Decepticons on the planet and additionally banishes Bumblebee to another dimension.

Episode 11 - Outstanding
Slipstream and Jetstorm want to prove that they can work very effectively without the requirements of their teacher, Drift. Unintentionally they expose Drift to danger. Now they have to rush to rescue him before it’s too late.

Episode 12 - Decepticon Island (I)
After the two teams are reunited, the Autobots get support from an old friend and discover the Decepticon Island. Unexpectedly they meet Steeljaw leading a Decepticon army.

Episode 13 - Decepticon Island (II)
The severely outnumbered Autobots on Decepticon Island desperately search for a way to stop Steeljaw and his army. Tensions between Bumblebee and Optimus could bring the mission and the entire world at risk.

[psj333]

For Episodes 12 & 13 for Decepticon Island, Steeljaw has finally created his ultimate Decepticon guerilla army to fight against the Autobots. This is what Steeljaw should have done back then on Cybertron. Does this mean that Steeljaw will free more Decepticons from the scrapeyard (excluding Scorponok and Crazybolt, since that they have betrayed Steeljaw, and that their pods have modified locks so that they cannot use subsonics to get out), or the brand new Cons that we have never heard of before, or a bit of both?

dunno? but i believe that Megatronus is supposed to appear in the final episodes of the season(or at least one of them)

Uh, Megatronus's finale already came and went with season 1. He's gone.

[Stuartmaximus]

Anyone watched episode 8 yet?(Bumblebee's Night Off), i can't find it anywhere on the Internet yet! but apparently it's been broadcast........somewhere?

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Having now caught up to Episode 8 (which we will not talk about as the american release isn't for another week) I can say things ended up going interesting. Steeljaw gets rid of Scorponok and tells the others he is a traitor, Crazybolt gets locked up (damn, I really liked him). though, I am irked by something. Steeljaw released only 6 cons. He released some without actually knowing who they were, and he didn't release Underbite, Fracture or his minicons. He also didn't release Overload's minicons. The choices were strange. Except for Fracture, all the guys released are getting toys this year, but it seems very weird to release Clampdown of all bots, but not Fracture or Underbite (the big bruiser)? I question that strongly

[Stuartmaximus]

you can talk about it as long as it's in spoiler tags!

anywhoo...i ALSO just watched episode 8, ach it's a fun wee episode

some new minicons....Hammer & Anvil who now come with Bisk, of whom we also saw in this episode, although still haven't seen his alt mode yet! hope we do one day, coz this ep is set at a concert....i was kinda half expecting something like Auto Bop! but it wasn't like that at all

We saw Bisk's alt mode in episode 7 as well as in season 1 during the episode he was in

[Madeus Prime]

Agreed, episode 8 was one of the best episodes in a while. I love, love, LOVED the final fight with Bumblebee and Bisk! The tracking shots of the "camera" made the fight look so much more realistic and cool, along with the slow-motion shots. Add the eye-rollingly unoriginal metal rock and you get my new favorite fight scene from RID. The new minicons are actually kinda adorably stupid, although I really don't like how this show has turned into the Autobots vs. Deployers show. It's cheapened a gimmick that should've been reserved for Drift, Fracture, Overload, and Crazybolt.

I do agree with you strongly. I loved that fight and it is my favorite now of the series. I loved the rock and roll battle in the flames and sparks and lights. I didn't like that Bisk was made a deployer, but oh well I guess. Still a really good episode

Episode 12 - Decepticon Island (I)
After the two teams are reunited, the Autobots get support from an old friend and discover the Decepticon Island. Unexpectedly they meet Steeljaw leading a Decepticon army.

When Hasbro is referring to Steeljaw leading a Decepticon army, does that include all the remaining Cons that Bumblebee has captured, such as, Terrashock, Nightstrike,, Pseudo, and many others, or only Glowstrike's crew, or both? Of course, he will not release Scorponok, because, he knew that Scorponok betrayed him. But will he ever release Crazybolt?

That army is probably Glowstrikes crew and the released prisoners not captured again. I doubt any more cons will be released.

And Scorponok did not betray them. Steeljaw made it seem like he did, but in reality he was just beaten, and Steeljaw has shown that he is more than willing to throw cons under the bus for his own gain

[Sabrblade]

Anyone else spot the cameo of Prime Knock Out's altmode in season 2 episode 9?

[psj333]

That army is probably Glowstrikes crew and the released prisoners not captured again. I doubt any more cons will be released.

And Scorponok did not betray them. Steeljaw made it seem like he did, but in reality he was just beaten, and Steeljaw has shown that he is more than willing to throw cons under the bus for his own gain

I'm not talking about Glowstrike's crew or Scorponok. I'm actually meant that will Steeljaw's army include the Cons in the scrapyard, or Glowstrike's crew, or both? That's all.


Also, you meant that the Cons from the scrapyards will not likely be part of Steeljaw's army such as Terrashock, Nightstrike, Pseudo, and those type of Cons.

Well, I'm pretty sure that almost all of them will show up in the season 2 finale, Decepticon Island.

Let me ask you this: If Steeljaw wants anyone if is smart and intelligent, would Pseudo make a perfect spy for Steeljaw's army?

As of right now, there are still no signs of Steeljaw, Kickback, Sabrehorn, and Glowstrike's crew. What's going on here?

And I answered your question: Steeljaw's "army" will be Glowstrike's crew and whatever cons not recaptured that he released. It also means that we will not be seeing the cons from the scrapyard because Steeljaw did not release them, and considering he had the opportunity to do so and didn't, I doubt their release. So no, they most likely will not show up in the season 2 finale. And while Pseudo would make for a good ally, he wasn't released, and Steeljaw may not even know he was captured. And that crew in your last question is just on the ship. They do not need to show up in every episode.
