New Galleries: Transformers Robots In Disguise Mini-Cons Wave 3 Forth, Swelter, Hammer, Blizzard Strike Slipstream

Forth's an amusing little roly poly gremlin, though.

I have his moldmate Back, and he is an awesome little dude. Really kinda cute but also fun too

If not, I guess I will just stick to the first 2 waves and then go with the weapon ones.

I was just going to ask the same thing, but seeing as how Slipstream is a repaint, the energon parts are exactly the same. I'm not sure if it will be possible, unless his lion head armor forms the head of a new animal. In which case, that would be some true technical designing genius, and a lot of forethought.

Additionally...though Swelter is pretty much a repaint of Divebomb, his energon parts on the arms are slightly different. So I guess we wont know until somebody gets these in hand, or Hasbro tells us something.

Glarryg

As seen in day-before-yesterday's episode, even.

BACK AND FORTH.

Whoever is doing the names for these guys seriously needs firing.

I though it was really funny and cute.

I hope one of the Hammer minicons is just called "Time".

At least fire the platinum guy before the naming guy,

these are dumb. Why couldn't we have better Arms micron Figures/accessories?

I think these are way better than the arms microns we got before.

How does this look like an octopus (speaking of looking dumb):



And remember these? I would rather we dont go back to this:



But if you liked them, thats cool.

I kinda get the sentiment, at least the microns made epic weapons, if the mini-cons at least had ball-jointed shoulders and thighs, I'd like them way more

I love the names. they are getting some good ones (and some good jokes) in there. Lest we forget Hammer and Anvil

Look at that Bumblebee in this pic and it's weapon mode and letme know if it looks epic to you.

hint hint, its not

Also, while the octopus did make a decent pile driver weapon for Frenzy and Rumble, you only got one per figure. I cannot express how much that blows.

It kinda reminds me of armada terradive - who was awesome... til the soft plastic cracked where the claw attaches to the body

They weren't all great, but they were refreshingly different, and they look a lot cooler than the dumb, upcoming sword mini-con and his doofy face chillin' on the side of the sword.

Am I missing something with this joke? Wouldn't it be Hammer and Sickle?

I think he's saying that he likes those names

Hammer and Anvil= Blacksmithing. Iron work. Specifically a lot of heat and then brutal beating.
