Transformers Animatronics is a unique event based on the popular Hasbro saga that has broken box office records for both movies and television. And now it will head to Emperors Palace with a spectacular display that has been enjoyed by millions of people on tour across the globe. This travelling exhibition of international standards will feature 12 animated Transformers, 9 sculptures scaled between and 2m and 11m made from car parts, and a further 20 statues varying in size. In addition, an impressive arsenal of weapons used by the Transformers characters will also be showcased.

A small video posted by You Tuber Megatron Prime is showing off a dubbing session (in Spanish) for the 3rd Season of Transformers: Robots In Disguise.

On this Combiner Force video, we are treated to a brief gimps of what appears to be Dragstrip. This Decepticon is a part of the combiner team who will form Menasor on the show.

2005 Boards Member Gayformers was kind enough to translate the script (used during the session) for us:

(Possible Spoilers)

Bumblebee: “And if there’s a part of you that still worries about being thrown out of the team, then… Tell that part that it’ll never happen. It’s good to have you back in one piece.”
Sideswipe: “Agreed! I don’t need to be screaming at myself all the time… That’s why I have Strongarm!”
Strongarm: [reacts]

A release date for the new season is yet to be announced, but this dubbing session is an indication of a possible completion of the English dubbed version.
