Possible First Look at Transformers Robots in Disguise Warrior Class Fracture

Va'al wrote:Seibertron.com staff member william-james88 has come across an interesting bunch of shots in the weird and wonderful world of TaoBao, the Chinese auction site. What the listing seems to show is the first look at the Warrior class Fracture from the Robots in Diguise line, or at least its prototype, in both motorbike and robot mode. Take a look at the mirrored images below, and let us know what you think - intrigued enough?

In those proto colors he looks like a chicken!
I want him like that instead of purple.

But remember, it's big toys only.

Now if only one of those primes we will get could be a Primal

Um...

That's a pretty bonkers looking sword, if I'm looking at the right spot

This guy is so bought. If only there were a way to get the minicons (For both teams) separately, without the deployers...

Or we'd instead be mad that they "Cliffjumpered" yet another character for the sake shock effect.

Any way you shake it, Megatronus was just a poorly-executed villain in the long run.

At least drift would've been on for many episodes, and this would fall right in with his honorable character; they could've 'dinobot(bw)-ed' him instead, and made it very heartfelt, make it a tear-jerker, where you feel the weight of his sacrifice

I think the problem is that Megatronus is built up as a world-ending threat, but that isn't the type of show we've been doing up until now. It's been small teams working on street-level problems, and him arriving is a shift in tone that doesn't gel with what has come before.

Also, I see it as a transparent way to keep Optimus involved in the show, despite his definitive death and passing of the torch.

Well, I like that they're both trying to move away from 'megatron is leader because reasons' and exploring him as a character. They could've made him a threat just by beating the 's to within an inch of their deaths a la beast wars, then had him leave them for dead saying 'the last prime isn't even worth it'; then we - the audience - would have a reason to root for o/p, as we are now insulted on his behalf and also want to see him (and bumblebee) rise against this threat, but I agree about the clashing styles too, but it couldn't remain a 'villain of the week' for too long

I agree that the villain of the week thing can't go forever, but unless he's going to be an ongoing force in season 2, Megatronus felt like a generic doomsday villain who upstaged the established villains. Like Unicron from season 1 of Prime. Especially considering he failed in his first outing.

I've come to like Steeljaw's pack as an equal/opposite to Team Bee, and to have both teams upstaged just seems disrespectful and counterproductive to the tone of the series. Like "Okay kids, the adults have to talk now."
