After our Guide to Transformers: Robots In Disguise Mobile Game App Update, we have received requests from our members to unlock the new characters for the show. Here we are keeping the promise we made that we will.
We’ve previously showed you the Robot Modes of the upcoming characters for the show, and now it’s time to reveal the Alt-Modes (or Vehicle Modes, if you prefer to call it that way).
With this News Post you will find in-game images of Transformers: Robots In Disguise Megatronus, Prowl, Ironhide and Razorpaw.
Megatronus turns into a tank very similar to Transformers: Prime Shockwave while Prowl retains his original G1 look. Ironhide’s Alt-mode is a pick-up truck very much like the Michael Bay Transformers Live Action Movie vehicle mode and the newest Decepticon member Razorpaw turns into a buggy resembling Transformers: Age Of Extinction Rallyfighters.
You can checkout the images for the first time on the net, after the jump.
In the game Megatronus walks a bit slowly than others but is a powerful hand-to-hand combatant. His victory pose is raising his right arm in the air like main villains usually do. Megatronus turns into a Tank as his Alt-Mode. The tank is very reminiscent of the Vehicle Mode of Transformers: Prime Shockwave.
Prowl retains his original G1 looks including the Alt-Mode. Walter Gatus; the Concept Artist who worked on the show mentioned “Prowl was BB’s superior on Cybertron. Designed a few versions all G1 inspired. Sequence cut & we only see bumbling Guards”. Prowl salutes during his victory pose.
Ironhide’s robot mode is similar to his G1 self but his Alt-Mode is a red Pick-Up Truck just like his Michael Bay Transformers Live Action Movie incarnation. The creators may have done that so kids nowadays can immediately recognize the character. His victory pose is delivering few boxing jabs.
This new Decepticon resembles a cougar but his in-game actions are very similar to a monkey. From the way he walks and his victory pose resembles monkey like behavior where he does some flips. Razorpaw turns into a buggy resembling Transformers: Age Of Extinction Rallyfighters.
Prime Aspect
When Starscream is firing gun-Megatron at Autobots, it's probably the only time where Starscream cannot shoot Megatron in the back. Maybe it's all to a plan. Not that the G1 cartoon thought things out that deeply…

Prowl was supposed to be Bumblebee's superior that appears in the first episode but his scenes got cut. Most likely he will show up later on.
Ironhide as a truck just fits so much more than him as a van. I think it took a long time due to how the G1 Diaclone molds only had so many to chose from, though if they really wanted to…Ironhide could have used Trailbreaker instead.
and yeah it's possible he might have been intended to be a fire truck…and its weird because I always thought G1 Inferno was meant to be Ironhide's replacement. They are both Southern accented, red Autobot brawlers.

Ironhide was originally a minivan, redecoed from a Diacron. His original bio made it seem like they might have wanted him to be a fire-truck. (Originally he had a lot of liquid based weapons) but when Peter Cullen (yes Prime & Ironhide have the same actor) came out with that 'lazy Texan' drawl, it was all set: Ironhide HAD to be a pickup truck. (A fire-rescue truck maybe?)
It's one of those things that works so well in retrospect you have to wonder why it took so long.
I am curious what kind of accent Ironhide had in other languages though. For non English speakers who might not be familiar with the implications of a 'regional accent' (for example, in Excell Saga, I'm told that one of the characters has a 'regional accent' that is part of the joke of that character. )

Out of all of them Prowl is the best to use since he is so much faster than Ironhide and Megatronus, although Razorpaw is faster but strenght is compromised. Best pick for the Survival Mode (Decepticon Tower) is Prowl and Ironhide. Megatronus has 3 types. Starter, Hero and Ultra. Don't bother with either. Just buy Ultra. Ultra Megatronus fights like Mega Optimus. Lastly, so far Prowl has the best "Transformation" animation in the whole game.

Now i really wonder if we will get new warrior class toys for these guys. It would be nice but i'm sure we'll have scaling issues again.

I wish Megatron had an alt mode that's different from being a tank because tanks are starting to get tiresome for someone who has Megatron in their name even though this is the Fallen likely. Like him having an alt mode like what Megatron had in Animated or even in DOTM as an evil truck would be preferable.
Prowl and Ironhide are meh. Prowl evoking an Animated Sentinel Prime feel in robot mode is neat but nothing else impresses me about him. As for Ironhide I don't get their reasoning to make Ironhide have his alt mode be based on the movie to get kids today to recognize him yet his robot mode looks nothing like the movie version. Had he had more black on him with a movie styled head that'll help get kids to recognize him even more and would look less generic. In short I prefer their Universe game designs because they evoke G1 yet they feel and look more interesting in a lot of ways.
Razorpaw sounds interesting when it comes to his movements being more of a monkey's despite having a mountain lion vibe in his design. Maybe he's a type of fuzor in terms of having powers of other animals?

Has it been confirmed that prowl and iron hide will appear in the show?

Megatron will NEVER be a gun again. That is all.

What utterly bland vehicles. They really just don't care anymore. What happened to the cool as vehicles from the Unicron Trilogy?

Thoughts:
Megatronus – an incredibly uninspired design and what we are used to from this series. He looks incredibly generic aside from the head. Incredibly. I guess at least I can tell what he turns into, unlike some of the Prime Decepticons.
Prowl – actually looks pretty good aside from the face for babies. Doesn't look like he would really have a functional toy, though.
Ironhide – looks good, but same as Prowl, does not look like he could transform based on the wheel position alone.
Razorpaw – talk about boring. One of the worst TF designs I have ever seen outside of the movies. He looks like a dirtbag.

Very cool, but those round faction symbols are really getting on my nerves! Whoever thought of them? They are so freaking UGLY!
jestermon
A gun is a silly alt mode, a tank is much more interesting.
They all look nice, I just wish we got some of those in generations style.
It's not just gun laws or gun issues it's the fact that nothing looks realistic anymore most of the toys didn't then either, if they made him into a big space/fictional gun people would still complain.
Slingshot
As for Soundwave's post (my laptop is acting up and won't let me quote posts), Megatronus just does not scream Prime Megatron to me at all. Now, they could go AWOL and make his intentions in Predacons Rising never have happened, but that would be poor writing and creativity on their part.

Why does everyone assume Megatronus is Megatron and not The Fallen?
also there is no goddamn way we'll see Megatron as a gun in future instalments of the franchise ever and even then its too impractical for the emperor of destruction.
General Magnus
Now I know why Megatronus seemed familiar:
Forge World – MECHANICUM KRIOS BATTLE TANK
RMStunticon
Surprised SS didn't throw him off a cliff.
Slingshot
Yeah, I think the Prime's are trying to capture Megatronus. The probability that this is Megatron is really low (the design, etc.). I think the story will be more of Megatronus being released from a realm after a set of time and trying to destroy the Prime's in vengeance for this.
Chaos Muffin
'Megatronus', such a generic and lazy name for a pre-Megatron. Can't believe they're sticking with that
If Cyclonus becomes a major tyrant then we shall rename him 'Cyclon'. He will kick Ultra Magn's ass! Arise Optim Prime.
Gun Megs are cool, its like tforming into a 'F**k you'
