Bisk (RID)

Bisk is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.

GIT GUD

For Bisk, everything is a game. Racing, fighting... it's all about tallying up a score and then putting that score at the top of some list, then bragging about it. Loudly.

Fiction

2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon

Voice actor: Khary Payton (English), Setsuji Satō (Japanese), Daniele Demma (Italian)

Bisk was one of the Decepticons held in stasis aboard the Alchemor, breaking free after it crashed on Earth. Bumblebee's team found him on a golf course, and after a brief battle, managed to overwhelm him with teamwork (and by having Grimlock land on him). Sadly the golf course did not survive intact. More than Meets the Eye

After Steeljaw broke into the scrapyard, he deactivated Bisk's stasis pod, alongside several others, as part of a bid to bolster Glowstrike's forces. When Thunderhoof brought up Steeljaw's past failures at leadership, Steeljaw informed the Decepticons of his alliance with Glowstrike, and gave them coordinates to follow while he remained at the scrapyard. The escapees later reconvened at Steeljaw's coordinates, where they was inspected by Glowstrike, who seemed pleased by the new cadre of "elite warriors". Misdirection

Toys

Kre-O

It wasn't a 'bot... it was a 'bot lobster!

• Bumblebee Disc Demolisher (2015)
  • Set number: B0949
  • Pieces: 186
  • Kreons: Bisk, Bumblebee, Clampdown

The Kreon version of Bisk was only available in the "Bumblebee Disc Demolisher" set. Rather than normal Kreon hands, he has a pair of asymmetrical claws. And a helmet for some reason.

All of the 2015 Transformers Kre-O product was skipped by retailers in the U.S. (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia, and various Asian markets. In fall 2015, almost all of it was finally released in the U.S. through TJ Maxx discount stores, including this set. The "Bumblebee Disc Demolisher" was the first set to hit, and easily the most plentiful of them.

Merchandise

Tiny Titans

Bot Lobster!

• Bisk (Tiny Titans, 2015)
  • Series: 1
  • Number: 11/12

Part of the initial assortment of Tiny Titans, this version of Bisk is a very small, soft-plastic figure of him in robot mode. Curiously, his sculpting is considerably different from his initial appearance and card-art, with rounded wheels that indicate an Earth-based vehicle mode, as well as a "scratched-out" Decepticon symbol, which would indicate him as a member of Steeljaw's Pack. Perhaps a second-season development? Spoilers!

Sold in a blindpacked baggie, he comes with a collectible card with a scan-badge for the mobile game, which unlocks a random amount of Energon "currency" and a randomized bonus power-up item.

Notes

• His name is a delicious nod to lobster bisque.
