Some exciting news coming from down under, as the very first Robots In Disguise Combiner Force toys have been spotted! Paul Agnew from Australia has been lucky enough to spot the full first wave of Combiner Force Legion figures, which consists of Optimus Prime and Grimlock (both figures we already knew were coming thanks to the RID mobile game) plus Springload and, most importantly, Starscream! It's currently unknown what store and for what price these were purchased for, but we'll update the story of any new info becomes available! Check out the image below, and let us know if you've seen any Combiner Force toys where you are!

It's so confusing to put the "Combiner Force" tag line on toys that don't combine.

But how the hell did I not know Starscream and Springload Legions were in the works !!!

I'm still looking for Groundpounder, Blue Drift & Bisk.

I can't wait for a video review - especially of Froggy-bot & Screamer

This is the first we have heard of legions Starscream and Springload. That is out of left field, and they look cool!

Hullz ye-YA! For the two new guys.

Check out Starscream. Is he a retool of Legions Windblade? His forearms/hands and thighs are the same as hers, so they're parts sharing. Looks like the transformation might be real similar/the same.

I would say Starscream is a retool. I'd be really surprised if it isn't.

I'm comparing images and only the arms and upper legs are the same. Everything else is new, but the transformation looks the same, just like the Warrior Class.

Ugh, we need a new definition of "Retool" and "Reshell", first Titans Return and now RiD 2015!

Like the Combiner Wars Leaders? It's just a new subline imprint... the second in a year's time!

It feels like when the recent TRU Clash of the Transformers figures were found before we even heard of them - funnily enough, also including Starscream :lol:

If they share some parts AND engineering, then it's a retool in my book. Much like the hotly debated TR Scourge and Highbrow.

So what's the difference between Grimlock and Prime? They look like reissues.

:MAXIMAL:

Nothing necessarily; this is just something RiD does a lot more than Generations - insert previous wave figures into new waves. For instance, the recent Ratchet/Bisk/Scatterspike Warrior wave had previous-wave figures Windblade and Scorponok. It's also why you keep seeing Bumblebees and Optimus Primes among the newer waves.

I wasn't especially impressed with it then either.
At least the legions (mostly) interacted with the other toys - Megatron, Starscream etc don't do anything really - the closest to any form of interaction they have is being able to share 5mm weapons.

It is weird at first, but I don't mind it so much - heck, it gives us something to call the line by other than RiD which you can mix up with everything else. "Combiner Force Starscream" is just easier than "Robots in Disguise 2015 Starscream".

Great! A Legion-class Springload. I'm glad that this time he finally turns into a pickup truck this time. This could mean two things: A Warrior-class Springload is still in the works, in which I'm hoping for, and this means he will eventually return for Season 3. And for Combiner force Starscream? Wait, didn't he did get imprisoned or not? I don't know. All I do know for sure that Starscream isn't killed, as he was saved by Optimus himself, as Starscream is too famous and popular to be killed, and if he did, the entire show would be over for good. Thankfully, it didn't. Hasbro, you're getting there, finally. Keep it up, guys. Don't ever give up!

I mean, they killed off Megatron. Didn't stop the show from continuing... or Megatron from coming back.

Our old pal Paul Agnew is back at it again! After posting our first look at the new Robots In Disguise Combiner Force toys at retail, and now he's posted some in-hand photos of the two most anticipated figures from the first wave of Legion-class figures, Springload and Starscream! He includes some up-close shots of both, how they scale to some other figures, and the first pictures we've seen of their alt modes! Check the pics out below, and tell us in the comments if these additional angles changed your opinions on the figures for better or worse.

Starscream looks amazing, he is a must buy. Cant believe how much paint he has, if it wasnt for the sticker i wouldnt believe hes a hasbro release.

I want him so that way I can give the cons 2 pets, like how my legion Underbite acts like a little doggy to the rest of the cons.

Oh, yeah, I love doing that. RID sawback or Rescue Bots Servo are good examples of that for me. Love having some dogs for the bots.
