A french site has a description for episode one, roughly translated to (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/04/24/robots-disguise-combiner-force-episode-descriptions-337789)...


The Transformers Robots In Disguise face new threats and join forces. While the Bee Team is confronted with a dangerous Stunticon capable of attacking it with missiles, Grimlock, the big arm of the group, proposes to the team to learn combat techniques. The Autobots travel quickly to Antarctica to fight the Decepticon Prong, a monster just thawed from a glacier in which he was a prisoner.

And another commercial for the season, in French, has been found as well (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VihT-oIB22A).

Titles for the next four episodes after the two part opener (King of the Hill) have been found (https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/more-titles-and-new-clip-for-transformers-robots-in-disguise-combiner-force/37912/), as they are scheduled to air during May in some other country (America, France or Canada).

Ep 3 - Defrosted
Ep 4 - Blurred
Ep 5 - Sphere of Influence
Ep 6 - Bee Cool

The episode description in the previous post sounds like it includes Episode 3, if that is the Antarctica episode.

This season and future seasons of the RID cartoon are going to cause confusion with its naming or numbering... as the RID producers call it Season 3 (noting that 2.5 was indeed part of Season 2), but TV listings and broadcasters are listing it as Season 4 (calling the 2.5 episodes season 3 because of the big break between their airings).

It's a bit like Beast Machines and the 2001 RID cartoon - some sources note them as one season, while other sources note them as two.

But one thing that can be made clear though, is that this current season has 26 episodes, according to the cartoon showrunner Adam Beechen (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/05/01/adam-beechen-confirms-transformers-robots-disguise-season-3-episode-count-338248).

That will give us 71 episodes by the end of this year.
