Transformers Tiny Titans Wave 5 Revealed

I think there will be other ways. Same for Filch and the shark (really want a warrior of that toy!).

Unless you're referring to more nontransformable toys for Octopunch, I sincerely doubt any of Hasbro's assortments of transformable RID toys would be able to feasibly make a transforming Octopunch toy that both looked good and did the character design justice, considering how unorthodox Octopunch's design is:

Octopunch is my speculation that I sent to news crew for the thing in the lower left and not confirmed. RiD 2015 Octopunch is the only thing I could think of that remotely looks like that.

It does look like him. I can make out four tentacles as feet and two as arms like Octopunch has.

I keep hoping they do Grotusque, Swindle, Sunstreaker, Rodimus, and Arcee before this line ends. If only so I can get the RiD-stylized versions of these characters in card art.

Given his speech patterns, I'd say Octopunch is VERY Orthodox. Hey-o!

But I thought the same thing about Springload and the crab and they got transforming toys.

Springload's toy got his altmode wrong and cheated on his hind legs, and Clampdown's toy doesn't have actual claws.

Not to mention that, unlike Octopunch, those two don't have gooey stretchy bodies, so they're more doable.

Notice the final sentence in my post that reads "and did the character design justice".

Fellow Seibertronian Survivefan23 has pointed us towards a new listing on Toy Wiz for Wave 6 of the blind bagged Tiny Titans line. This Robots in Disguise line is made up of small plastic figures which reference mainly the Robots in Disguise show but also characters from the G1 era and now even Beast Machines.

This wave consists of: Sky-Byte, Acid Storm, Beast Machines Cheetor, Minitron, Blurr, Alpha Trion/Thundertron/??, RID Optimus Prime with G1 Prime's gun, Unicron, G1 Grimlock, Crazybolt, Barrage and RID Bumblebee.

Barrage is a particular deep cut. Notice how I am completely unsure of the bearded one with the blue cape. It could be one of the Primes revealed in this season of Robots in Disguise (Alpha Trion?). If you have an idea of who that is, or if we made a mistake on any of these, please let us know in the comments.

These seem like cheaper Robot Heroes...

The white and blue winged guy between IDW Blurr and RID Optimus is nagging me over who he is. I feel like I've seen him before, but not in that exact design. I honestly can't think of who he is.

I prefer the Robot Heroes, I wish they would bring them back. I kinda liked them. The paint on these guys is horrible and bugs me a lot.

I'm getting that feeling, but I think it's just a few elements reminding me of a Sweep. The claw feet don't fit that. Not Tigerhawk?

It's gotta be someone with a big pointy helmet and wings/capes. If it's any of the Binder/Covenant designs, Liege Maximo might be a candidate, but the blue and white instead of green, and some of the toy's finer details, throw that off.

That unidentified Transformer reminds me of that one Prime toy which wasn't in the show but had that nice beard.

Yeah, Thundertron, he's mentioned in the news post.

Doesn't look like a beard to me at all, just a part of his chest that sticks up in the front. His head his turned to the left and you can see his mouth while the "beard" is still forward.

It's possible One of the Decepticons have gotten an upgrade, not just Optimus. Stelljaw perhaps? That would explain why he looks familiar.

Remember that the paint is horrible, there might be a beard but it might not be painted

Thundertron doesn't have wings or a gun or two normal feet (one of his is a peg-leg) or big horned helmet.

He did, however, have a very obvious lion head torso, which this figure doesn't have.

Rainmaker wrote:Remember that the paint is horrible, there might be a beard but it might not be painted

So his beard is part of his chest and not attached to his face? No, there is no beard, it's just a wedge-shaped piece of armor and his head is clearly not pointed in the same direction.

Thundertron had an optional peg-leg. He also had the 'wings' on his hips and no Autobot symbol on his torso.

Mr O wrote:Thundertron had an optional peg-leg.

His peg-leg is what he's supposed to have. It's only "optional" on his toy due to the toy's mechanics.


On a different note, that Minitron figure is probably the version of him to get since he's so tiny and it looks very accurate to his character model.

Nobody has a peg-leg and a proper foot as wardrobe options! Actually, the more I look at his chest, there is a big cat face there.

Minitron is the weevil thing right? That's the one I'll never find then, .

Mr O wrote:Nobody has a peg-leg and a proper foot as wardrobe options!

He's a pirate. He transforms from a four-footed lion to a one-footed peg-legged robot in-fiction. You'd need a Masterpiece-level budget to pull that off in toy form, and there was no way Hasbro was gonna put that much money into the toy they made for the guy. So they went the cheaper route by making his toy have one of its beast mode feet detach from the robot mode peg-leg as part of the figure's transformation.

The little green bug guy, yeah.

Despite having news of wave 6 of the Tiny Titans line come out of online retailers, fellow Seibertronian ScottyP has spotted some wave 4 bags in the wild - specifically at GameStop in Raleigh, NC! Photo proof below, and remember, if you come across any new sightings, flag it up for everyone in the regional forums and the Sightings database!

I'm just waiting for wave 5 so that I could get octopunsh and include him in my decepticon legion collection.

It makes me feel dumb when people correct me

Well, thanks to this Imgur album, we now know who that unknown blue and white guy is: Nightstrike's robot mode. Turns out the bat form he had in the show was his altmode.

Also, Minitron is bizarrely named "Minimus Ambus". I guess the name "Minitron" didn't pass the Trademark muster and so Hasbro grabbed the nearest name with "Mini-" in it.

The rest were all guessed correctly:

G1 Grimlock
RID 2015 Bumblebee
G1 Unicron
RID 2015 Optimus Prime
RiD 2001 Sky-Byte
G1 Barrage
RID 2015 Crazybolt
IDW G1 Blurr
Beast Machines Cheetor
G1 Acid Storm

Thanks! And do you know if there is a record out there of how to figure out what figure you are geting in these packs?

Beats me. Here's where I found the link to the Imgur album.

Found some Series 6 at my local Coles, bought 2 packs, got Unicron and Minitron.

We saw about the sixth wave of Transformers Tiny Titans back in March (right here), but we now know that they are indeed out in the wild hunting grounds for toys, as reported by fellow fan scottimus prime! The photo below comes from Holbrook New York Long Island, and its Toys'R'Us store.

Remember, if you come across new toys, make sure to flag them up in our ever-growing Sightings database and the boards too. Happy hunting!
