  Robots in Disguise: self-titled - PopMatters Music Review
It is a credit to their talent that Robots in Disguise manage to create a stylistic art-school sound where these potentially aggravating tendencies seem acceptable.
Robots in Disguise includes some powerful moments that show that the band has the potential to rise above the herd of one-note synth-rockers that dominate the new wave revival, but these moments are always trapped in unstructured songs that fail to make an impression.
Robots in Disguise's first album is full of wonderful sounds and wonderful song ideas, but the two never seem to mesh.

 the Transformers: Robots in Disguise Handbook
Beginning in 2001, the Robots in Disguise (or RiD) cartoon aired in various countries around the world, a return of sorts to the Transformers' roots.
Various hints from the translations of the original, Japanese tech specs indicate that all the Transformers featured in the Robots in Disguise cartoon came to 'modern' earth from some far-flung future, one that occurs after even the Beast Machines series.
While these may be mere nods to the legions of Transformers fans, it is nice to think of the RiD series as an end cap to the original Transformers continuity, which has been replaced with the new Armada and Energon shows, both of which apparently start from a different 'base' entirely.

 Transformers: Robots in Disguise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robots in Disguise is the title of the 2001 American Transformers line of toys and cartoon series, a self-contained universe separate from any of the other existing Transformers Universes.
RiD's airing was heavily affected by the terrorist attacks on 9/11, and many of its episodes were held back, re-edited, removed from re-run schedules, aired late or didn't air at all in the USA.
In robot mode, the tongue detaches to be wielded as a weapon.

The Car Robots line was imported a year later to America as "Robots in Disguise" to give Hasbro (the American distributers of TFs) time to work on a new, original line after their plans for a Beast Machines follow up were scrapped in response to fan backlash and low ratings/toy sales for BM.
The giant Autobot logo on his chest gives away the whole "Robots in Disguise" thing, but it's easilly overlooked.
Another few twists and turns of various body parts (as well as a switching of heads, all contained in his chest) and he serves as the torso section of Landfill, the second Autobot combined robot in RiD.

 Robots In Disguise - AngryApe
The sauntering enchantresses of Sue Denim and Dee Plume, via their recent RID album, have managed to combine dark humour and punchy provocation shrouded in cosmopolitan delivery.
Appearances on The Mighty Boosh and the honour of controlling the after-show festivities for the show's recent tour of homely venues, has helped Robots In Disguise spread their lofty electro-based sound to a wide ranging audience.

 ROBOTS DREAMS: "A Car And A Robot Are A Boy's Dreams" (Video)
Robot news, robotics information, robot contest and construction photos, videos of robots like Robo-One Robonova Robosapien Roboraptor Robopet and micromouse, and robot hack projects with special onsite coverage of major robot events, robotic exhibitions and Robo-One Robo-Fight Robo-Gong and RoboCup competitions in Japan.
The quote, "A car and a robot are a boy's dreams", is our rough translation of the March Hare's comment in Japanese, writing about the transforming robot.
The robot, called WR-07, was built by Nakamura-san at Himeji Soft Works in Japan.

 Transformers: Robots in Disguise Toy Review Index   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The "Car Robots" series was dubbed in English for North America, and the Car Robots toys were repackaged (and slightly modified, in most cases) and resold as Transformers: Robots in Disguise toys.
Although RiD definitely has its share of new molds, it also has repaints of molds from every previous American Transformers series; Generation One, Generation Two, Machine Wars, Beast Wars, and Beast Machines.
All of the Spychanger-sized Transformers came for 2 for $5 in the U.S. Also, the Basic price point was marked down a few bucks- from $7-8 U.S. to $5- so the "Basic" sized Transformers for this toyline are mostly smaller then the "Basic" sized Transformers of the Beast Wars and Beast Machines toylines.

 Robots In Disguise - Get Rid : album review
It's actually a strange mixture of electro, pop and punk influences which constitutes the second album of an act that has been quietly on the back-burner throughout Europe for a number of years.
Robots in Disguise consists of Sue Denim and Dee Plume who like to think of themselves as the female equivalents of the former stage personas of David Bowie and Iggy Pop.
In fairness, there will be those out there who will love this album and become devoted disciples of the church of Robots in Disguise complete with Adam Ant style make-up, and you can guarantee that given a stage and some suitable scenery these girls are going give you a gig that you'll remember for years.

Transformers: Robots In Disguise, the re-dubbed and enhanced version of the Car Robots series, was shown on Fox Kids (YTV in Canada) on Saturdays at 11:30 (10:30 central).
With the debut of the Fox Box, RID is no longer shown in the U.S. It is still playing in Canada and Europe.
The biggest differences are Armorhide which is tan and brown in Car Robots but has a blue and gray RID figure, and the assembly parts with Mega-Octane, which are gold in Car Robots but are dark gray in the RID package.

While the MEGATRON of this series is a bit of a whiny bore, his underlings are a hilariously realised group of robots.
Also worthy of note are some bizarre yet funny scenes - PROWL and X-BRAWN in "disguise" in one episode, and the Autobots thrown into water and trying to swim in "COMMANDOS" (I laughed aloud at that bit!).
Unlike Gen 1 (where the voices were done first and the animation added later) Transformers RID takes its fotage from a Japannese show called CAR ROBOTS.
