Transformers: Robots in Disguise, not to be confused with the English language dub of Car Robots, is a 2015-2016 animated television series. It is part of the Transformers Prime franchise. It was originally planned to premiere on Hub Network, but within less than a week before the channel's rebrand as Discovery Family, it was announced that the series would move to Cartoon Network since Transformers: Animated.[1] According to Hasbro Studio's official site it will have 78 episodes and be in production until 2016. A second season of the series has been confirmed to be in production where it will feature the return of surviving characters from the previous series. It will run for 16 episodes. On November 17, 2015, it was announced Transformers: Robots in Disguise will end after two seasons and a movie rather than the three seasons that were planned. At the BotCon 2016 John Warden confirmed a third season for Fall 2016.[2]
Plot
Years after the events of Predacons Rising, Bumblebee is summoned back to Earth to battle a new generation of Decepticons that escaped from the prison ship Alchemor and assembles a rogue team of young Autobots that includes a rebel "Bad Boy Bot," an Elite Guard cadet, a bombastic Dinobot, and a hyperactive Mini-Con. Bumblebee will be experiencing visions of Optimus Prime.
