When was the last time Hasbro made a Scourge/Nemesis Prime? I always like the color scheme, but it seems we only get it via a Kreon or a Club exclusive or everywhere BUT the mainlines...

There was the Generations Thrilling 30 Legends class Nemesis Prime and Spinister 2-pack from last year.

To start a new weekend, and a new set of galleries for a while, Seibertron.com focuses on the toyline for Transformers: Robots in Disguise, as we explore the recent offerings of the animated TV show in plastic form - despite their limited articulation, in some cases.

The first new addition is Three-Step Changer - or Hyperchange Hero - Steeljaw, self-appointed leader of the Decepticon pack of fugitives, and the latest iteration of the character across different classes. You can find the Warrior class gallery here, the One-Step changer here, Legion class over here and the Tiny Titan here. Click on any image below to view the full gallery, as usual!

See them below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for the best galleries around!

Seibertron is excited to add to our ever expanding Gallery Section: Robots In Disguise Legion Class Fixit and Underbite! The pair of these (as you'll see in the galleries) have already been released as 1-Step Changers, but some might find these more pleasing given the scale. See these fun little fellas below, and join us for a chat in the Energon Pub. There's lots to do at Seibertron.com!

Out of all the crummy/underwhelming/lackluster/let down figures I've seen from this toyline so far, the legion class figures are the only one that look like they are severely hampered in any way other than their size. I might actually contemplate getting Legion Fixit. Shame about the Decepticons of this show too. Quite a number had cool designs and they will most likely not even get decent toys.

I have Legion Fixit, and he's a goofy fun little figure. But I honestly suggest giving the Warrior Class figures a whirl. Bumblebee and Drift are good starts

The next offering in the Seibertron.com galleries featuring toys from the Transformer: Robots in Disguise line brings us two rogue Warrior class robots from the show: Sideswipe and Jazz!

The former, a regular member of the cast, comes with a slick red paintjob, Japanese kanji clearly visible on the car mode and a sword - just like a teenager would, right? As for Jazz, the bulked up ex-hot head features a lance styled weapon and manic grin on the package art, along with the trademark colour scheme of blue, red and white. Click on any image below to view the full galleries.

It really is unfortunate that Sideswipe has that issue with his shoulders. He is an amazing looking figure that just has 2 little flaws that really screw him up.

I still think he's a pretty good figure. His neck bothered me more ... it just looks odd or is too big or something. Can't pinpoint what bothers me about it other than it just looks off. His shoulders weren't that bad. They wouldn't stay in place, but the shoulder joint was tight enough that I didn't find myself constantly fighting with it while posing him for the gallery, which is always my biggest concern with Transformers toys. As long as I can pull off great poses and the toy does more or less what I need it to do, I'm a happy Transformers website owner.

Next stop after these galleries are the Transformers Adventures toys from Takara. I have the initial ones that are repaints half finished ... I don't think I'll have time to do Dreadwing, Bloody Knockout, Roadblock, Knockout, Shrapnel and Bombshell until after BotCon but we'll see where I end up at today after I take care of this past weekend's sales in the Seibertron.com Store.

I agree. I really do like him and he is one of 3 RiD guys I will buy (with Strongarm and Fixit). I dont really pose them much, so thats not a big concern. I will be really happy with him.

Man, the RiD line in general (arguably even Transformers in general) look so much worse than previous lines... and then here comes Fixit with ball joints out of the wazoo in a Legions figure.

Really helps when you have no legs to worry about

I love the little Fixit figure. He's great! Wish he was a little less happy, but still a fun little toy for a figure that has wheels for legs.

I do like him too. and for $6 American value, I'll gladly pick up the little guy. I plan on using my FoC Grimlock and, since by a fluck I have both beast hunters Bees, I'll use one of them to go with Warrior Strongarm, Sideswipe and this little guy. He's so cute and cuddly in a Drill tank mode-ish way

News Credits: 12 · Mon Jun 15, 2015 12:36 pm

He really is cute as a button, isn't he?

Another addition to the Seibertron.com galleries from the Transformers: Robots in Disguise animated series toy line graces us this Tuesday, with one of the biggest Bumblebee figures in the last couple of years. Check out below a sample of the full gallery - which you can access by clicking on any of the images - for Super Bumblebee, the three-step changer that towers over his Hive of fellow 'bees!

'Super' size. 'Cuz if there's one thing we need, it's more Bumblebee figures....

If that giant Bee was a carrying case I would buy it.

It looks as if it could hold Legends and Deluxes. The forearms, the shins, and chest, even possibly the roof of the car behind the legs. If possible, even accessories storage in the shoulders and thighs.

Add some old school Mini-Con connection ports, and BAM, instant classic figure.

Even Prime-Optimus Maximus toy had more play value. IMO.
