First Image of Megatronus and New Robots in Disguise Toys and Classes Hinted in the App

I swear, that Megatronus has the Leader Jetfire mold written all over it.

The Megatronus image also lines up perfectly with what was seen in the japanese intro:

anyone else getting a Tarn vibe off Megatronus

I can certainly see where you're coming from.

Megatronus just looks like an Optimus Prime retool. He's probably the Fallen.

Oh you ruined it!

So I guess that they are going all in on the Covenant of Primus original 13 Primes stuff in the new show. That sounds really interesting.

I was kind of hoping that this character would turn out to be Galvatron, but I'm still excited for it.

I certainly hope so. I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to see more of them since they consolidated the whole mythos about them.

Since the RID2015 Cartoon series decepticons on earth. Are robots with beastial elements that transform into vehicles. Hoping this RID Megatron is a Leader class toy that is a Triple changer. that can Transform into a Robot, Then Wolf and Cybertronian Jet mode.

"Wold"?
Looking at keyboard
Ah, "Wolf"! Gotcha.

Honestly, I don't think such a mold could pull this off. A DRAGON can come out way more easely out of a jet than a wolf for sure.

Still, I do like the "anthro" Decepticon concept. I wonder if these forms would ever be explained? My random guess is some sort of McGuffin Device fused the Predacons and Decepticons together, creating that weird hybrid species of transformers.

Figured RID Megatronus's Jet mode could look like a Cybetronian style jet mode. Similar to Transformer Prime, Megatron's jet mode. Think making the wolf mode have wings. would help the Cybertronian jet mode look better.

I heard that the creators said on Twitter somewhere that there was a scene cut from the first episode's beginning with Prowl that shows that he is Bumblebee and Strongarm's boss.




Would explain why the show starts so abrupt.




No source besides one of the Creators twitter but I have seen multiple people say this so it seems like its true I'll edit this post when I can confirm.

that is a nice ironhide, I would buy it if it comes in legion class (3" tall)

I find it odd hat they would have a Prowl and Ironhide toy in RID possibly on the shelves the same time or close to the same time as there are expected to be CW toys on the shelves. Or one is much further down the line than I think, or one is much sooner than I think.

Interesting, I guess.

Maybe the rebirth of the Cybertronian race in "Predacons Rising" brought with it a lot more diversity?

The Robots in Disguise App update which brought us the first image of Megatronus, also brought lots of other updates. This was my first time using the app, and while some new character classes do not seem associated to toys (such as the Champions, Desert Optimus and Cybertron Underbite ), there is a section which shows which toys have been unlocked. This section gives us a good idea at the toys that will probably be released. There are several repeating themes, such as a “Gold” Grimlock which sports a deco akin to G1, a night Bumblebee which has been a constant stealth deco since the first movie, and “clash” decos which point towards more evidence of a rumoured “Clash of the Transformers” subline. The more notable redeco is an Ultra Magnus using the Optimus Prime Legion mold. There is also another unannounced class that appears, along with the Ultra Class, called Titan Changer. This last one is a head scratcher since so far, Titan meant a non transforming class of toys. This may be another simplified toy class to go with the Hyperchange line.

Also, pictures provided by autobase aichi (who also took pictures of the other character variants) show Megatronus’ alt mode. Since the Megatronus character is unlockable in the game and can be transformed in game, the blogger unlocked him and snapped a photo of his alt mode (I didn’t have enough points to unlock). The alt mode seems to be a cybertonian tank (gasp!).

So Megatronus will be a deluxe-class H-tank? Meh. Why are there no "voyager" scale figures in this line?

GuyIncognito wrote:So Megatronus will be a deluxe-class H-tank? Meh. Why are there no "voyager" scale figures in this line?

He is getting an Ultra Figure too. It was described in the list and there is a picture of it here: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/first-image-of-megatronus-and-new-robots-in-disguise-toys-and-classes-hinted-in-the-app/32798/

Also, since Grimlock and Optimus are also available in "deluxe" class, we need a megatronus in that same class to scale with them.

Guys Prowl was going to be in the first episode but his scene was cut and here is my evidence a tweet from one of the show's staff.

Poor Ultra-Magnus being reduced to a repaint of Optimus and not getting his own section and being in the Optimus section.

Sure, but that doesnt mean there would have been a toy of him. There isn't toy of every decepticon yet and no toy of Micronus. It turns out that when you look at this app correctly, the Ironhide and Prowl characters are not yet confirmed as being unlockable through a toy purchase.

I never said they were going to be toys.



I'm just saying that Prowl was going to be in the first episode which means he had a rid design made for him and I can see Prowl showing up in season 2 or something like that with Ironhide.

The thread is called "Transformers Robots in Disguise (2015) Products Thread", and it on the Transformers Toys Discussion board, in the Transformers Toys Forums.

Not sure how its not related to the thread when I'm on subject.

Yeah, thats why I assumed you were talking about the toys. If you want to talk about the show itself and who is in it and who isnt, please go to this thread. Dont feel like I am forcing you to do something or not, I just want to avoid confusion and I want to avoid more cases people telling you that this isn't the thread for that kind of conversation.

But I'm talking about the Prowl that was revealed in this thread.



I did mention it on the show thread but no one noticed.

A possible Prowl toy was revealed in this thread (turns out, probably not), NOT that Prowl would be appearing on the show (which is what you are writing about). When new age of extinction toys were announced, the toy thread discussed the toys while the thread about the film talked about what the toy reveals meant for the movie. This is the same thing. While the interest in your post on the other thread may have been little, writing it again in this thread will get an even lower response since the people coming to this thread are discussing the toys and NOT the show. In fact, as you noticed, it just gets the response that you are posting in the wrong thread. You can do as you wish, but if you hope for a discussion on anything show related, you probably wont find it here.

Sorry about that my lesson has been learned.




Just trying to bring in some discussion.

But his alt mode was confirmed to be a H tank, which is not what Optimus' alt mode is. In any case, Drift, Bumblebee and Jazz all seem to have similar shapes but they are all different molds afterall.

I like Grimlock in green and black, but I am far more down for the G1 Gold warrior version. I may get both. Also Clash Optimus looks similar to Cybertron's deluxe Armada Prime.

Holy shit that's a lot of repaints.

PrymeStriker wrote:Holy **** that's a lot of repaints.

I was thinking that too but then I looked at the Prime Line and realized that it was pretty similar. Most of the Beast Hunters line was just retools, Bee had his night deco there too, and between Takara and Hasbro, there were a bunch of seekers and both Prime and Kup just using different colors.

And there was a truckload of Voyager Megatron redecos (and even a bunch of redecos of the cyberverse class). While this looks like a lot, there is a definite precedent for it and its just max 2 per mold, which is what combiner wars is doing too. Legion, one step, and warrior bee are all getting at least on redeco, so it looks like A LOT, but they are different molds. Still, it gives me vibes of the swarm that took over the movie lines.

I actually find it super cool how we get a hint of how different the toy is from the models shown. Looking at one step optimus, we can see the vehicle halves hanging in back of his shoulders.

Also, making a prediction that those Clash of the Transformers redecos will be similar to what Takara is doing with their 2 packs. It will be 2 packs featuring exclusive redecos, dont know if they will be store exclusives though (they might be).

Looking forward to that bigger Megatronus toy. Wishing it is Leader class and has a fully articulated robot mode.

Megatronus' alt mode looks like a combo between TFA shockwave and Prime Shockwave...

OK so Megatronus is a tank huh? Yea i really do think i found my Generations Tarn

mirageandjazz1197 wrote:Poor Ultra-Magnus being reduced to a repaint of Optimus and not getting his own section and being in the Optimus section.

Yes. I found that to be quite annoying as well.

Bumblebee being in the spotlight once again is also annoying me as well. I mean, come on! This has been going on for eight years! It has to stop.

What they said was true. Warrior Drift is REALLy an incredible toy! Fun and easy to transform, a great bot mode, and a very BAD-ASS car mode.

Also, a fun fact. In truck mode, Warrior Optimus scale perfectly with DOTM Cyberverse Commander Optimus with trailer in truck mode!
In a way, ir's like RID Optimus go full Super Mode in bot form.

grimdragon2001 wrote:OK so Megatronus is a tank huh? Yea i really do think i found my Generations Tarn

The face on that Warrior model looks about perfect for Tarn.

I'd been eyeing Warrior Grimlock, but if he's coming out in G1 colors, I'm holding out for that.

Mold for mold, I think they are about as great. Both toys are fantastic basically. However, Hasbro Bee is WAY too "naked" for paint aps. Go Takara all the way for him. Hasbro Drift only lack his facial hair for paint aps. Nothing a pointy Sharpie cant fix. That's what I did. The bot and car's deco are full of amazing details. I have no idea what Takara Drift will look like. But when I saw Drift live AND on sale, I couldnt help myself. No need to wait for him.

Well now that you took the last one, I might as well wait (plus I have a raincheck). Oh and on a side note, the entrepot the jouet has closed.

Wouldn't mind and would love it. If RID Megatronus used the Combiners Wars Leader Class Megatron toy.

If it's a brand new toy. Just hoping Rid Ultra Megatronus has a fully articulated robot mode. Think it would be a shame if the robot had almost no articulation. Like the RID Hyper change toys toy.

for titan changer I'm picturing like... spy changer level transformation/articulation.

I heard they were supposed to move closer to where people actually live. All we have to do is wait.

Will Drift be the shortpacked, high-demand figure of the line?

Drift gives me hope that Jazz will be good. I really hope I'm able to get it and Sideswipe early before the rush.

The mobile game now has a section called 'Collections' that stamps all the toys you have scanned for points towards some "scan level" thing. So according to the game, this is the current/future scannable part of the toy lineup:

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the repaints are store exclusive dual/VS or multi-packs.

Hopefully the arm/elbow joint issue will be fixed in the 'Gold' version of Warrior Grimlock.

Taiwan based fellow fan Weisheng (陳威盛) on Facebook has shared some in-hand images of the first of two incarnations of one of the Decepticons from the Transformers: Robots in Disguise animated series: One-Step Thunderhoof! We had seen official images here, but check out some live ones mirrored below.

That looks like Legion Fixit in the background too.
