And like you said, we just don't know how many of them will end up being like one. Shifters so far never have toys because they have unusual shapes or forms. Does that really mean that Pseudo will never be getting a toy, just like Makeshift? From what I can tell, Makeshift and Pseudo's robot modes don't have unusual shapes or forms. They look just like ordinary Transformers. Makeshift did not get a toy for two reasons: 1- His human robot mode is totally blacked out, and 2 -he is killed for good. On to Pseudo, he might be actually getting a toy, because his robot mode doesn't have unusual forms. Rather, he actually has an animal-based robot mode, just like all other Decepticons for the show. And he is a ladybug larvae. Unlike Makeshift, Pseudo is still alive after being captured, and his body was entirely shown at the end of the episode. If you still don't know what a ladybug larvae looks like, have a look at this:
https://www.google.ca/url?sa=i&rct=j&q= ... 2525646796

Now try to compare that with his robot mode is the show, and then tell me whether or not he should be getting a figure, due to a robot mode like this.

As much as I admire your perseverance, I'm still not convinced he could get a toy. any alt mode he had would be difficult considering his form, and there have been characters who have appeared more often that have yet to get a toy. Now I will not throw out the idea that he could get a one-step or something, considering that is how we are getting several cons, but I honestly doubt he'd get a warrior since other main cons have yet to get that treatment

I would guess the RID app comes from one of two budgets either from the Hasbro Media division or it comes under the heading of advertising & promotion.

Remember though special media for a toy line has been done before and didn't seem to cause a huge price increase as far as I can recall.

Hunt for the Decepticons and the Cybermission episodes being a couple of examples that spring to mind.

But it does make me wonder in general though about something like Takara's Arms Micron shorts & Q-Transformers shorts - is there some noticeable price increase on them compared to if they didn't have a cartoon ? or would the cost be the same - they'd just run more TV or print adverts or make more Youtube promo vids of some sort instead.

In a way a Video is a better idea than a game as with not a premium pay model on the game there is no particular way to recoup the costs and they are simply hopping people will buy toys to scan them to put in the game. even though you can easily scan an image of the logo instead or even do the scan in the store and not buy the toy.

Bit silly really to not make the logo hidden in the package isn't it..

Looky who I found at Target.






But let's be honest here; it's more like Red Alert Sideswipe - amiright?

Aparently that Chomp & Stomp RID Grimlock has been spotted in the UK......http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transform ... -4044.html

You, know, until now, I still haven't received any replies as of yet. As many of you already know that NYCC 2015 will be held this October. This means we still have a chance of getting new toys for the RID2015 for brand-new Decepticons. I'm still waiting for Hammerstrike, Bisk, Terrashock, and many others. The only character that I fear that won't be getting a toy is Pseudo, just because he is s Shifter. That's not always the case. Unlike Makeshift, whose body was never shown and was killed, Pseudo's body was definitely shown for the very first time, and is alive and well. Therefore, there is still a chance that he might still get a toy. So far, his official alt-mode (vehicle mode) is still yet to been seen. No one knows for sure what is real alt-mode is. But if a ladybug larva like Pseudo were to scan an alt-mode, possibly for the second season, what would his vehicle mode mostly represents? I would be surprised if he never gets a figure. Let's hope that's not true. Remember Shockwave from Transformers: Animated? It was said that Shockwave had shape-shifting powers, and he can turn into an Autobot named Longarm? Does that make him a Shifter?

*sigh* Once again... chances are that none of them will see toy form as they were mostly one-shot characters and not popular enough to be considered toy worthy.

What did I say all those many pages ago, Shifters don't have a true form, they just borrow whatever they want! Whatever we see of a Shifter's true form is likely just the form they like to spend their time in outside of their disguises. So, psj, as I inform you for the umpteenth time, Pseudo won't be getting a toy, period. Besides, he was pretty lame as far as a Shifter goes.

psj333 wrote: But if a ladybug larva like Pseudo were to scan an alt-mode, possibly for the second season, what would his vehicle mode mostly represents?

Like I said, Shifters do not have a true alternate mode, they don't even have a true robot mode. So, his alternate mode will quite literally be anything he wants. So don't expect him to get cozy with a permanent form.

psj333 wrote: Remember Shockwave from Transformers: Animated? It was said that Shockwave had shape-shifting powers, and he can turn into an Autobot named Longarm?

Yes, believe it or not we do remember him. And it wasn't said, it was shown vividly that Shockwave could adopt a secondary robot and vehicle form.

psj333 wrote:Does that make him a Shifter?

Definitely not. If he then imitated Blurr, Sentinel Major, and Cliffjumper, then yes, he'd be a Shifter, but he didn't, so he isn't!

Nice find C! I can't wait to get a little Red Alert. Cool pics too.

carytheone wrote:But let's be honest here; it's more like Red Alert Sideswipe - amiright?

Funny how looking like Red Alert makes the red feet on the car roof acceptable. Any other figure and people would go crazy, but here "it's obviously supposed to be a police lightbar!"

*sigh* Once again... chances are that none of them will see toy form as they were mostly one-shot characters and not popular enough to be considered toy worthy.

You might already knew this. But you don't know this:

For fans who have been following the Transformers Robot In Disguise toyline, chances are they are still waiting for more on screen characters to be represented in toy form. Well fret no more because board member Nevermore has shared his findings of new preorder listing from online retailer ToyWiz.

First off, we have 1 Step Changers Quillfire, which marks the first figure made in his likeness. Then we have three new Warrior Class figure preorders listed, they are Decepticon Fracture, Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime, and Night Strike Bumblebee (which appears to be a different listing from already released Night Ops Bumblebee). These are all scheduled to be released between November and December 2015.

This is certainly a good sign showing that Robot In Disguise toys are still continuing, and perhaps hints that we may be seeing more from this toyline during New York Comic Con in October. Checkout the listings and share your thoughts with us on the boards.

You claimed that Shifters will never get a toy because they never have true forms. But to be perfectly honest, I smell a rat. Here are several reasons why. When every kind of Transformers were created, that are born with true forms. Without them, they're lifeless. As I stated before, Makeshift's humanoid body was completely blacked out, because that was in fact his real body. They did this, because they don't want anyone to know that's him. Only Megatron knows. And Pseudo was entirely shown. Therefore, if his body was fake or burrowed from someone else after being attacked, it would disappear immediately. You seemed to believe that all Shifters are created, look, and behave the way, when in fact they're not. Not all Shifters have unusual shapes or forms. It's just absolutely not true. Even if the bodies of Makeshift and Pseudo that are shown to us are real, they don't look unusual to us. Also, I believe that if Steeljaw were to release all of the captured Decepticons, including Pseudo himself, then perhaps we might get a closer look to see what his official alt-mode will be like. That way we might even get a toy of almost every single one of these Cons, whether they are Shifters or not.

Like I said, Shifters do not have a true alternate mode, they don't even have a true robot mode. So, his alternate mode will quite literally be anything he wants. So don't expect him to get cozy with a permanent form.

You just don't seem to get it, do you? I've just said every Transformer of every kind must be born of a true form. Without them, they would be lifeless and useless as Transformers. You're only referring to Shifters' appearances, and not the robot modes and the alt-modes themselves. The ladybug larva is Pseudo's robot mode, since that most Decepticons in this show have animal-based robot modes.

Therefore, there is no way in hell that Pseudo will never get a toy!:CON:

So I was out grocery shopping with the Mrs and we strolled through HBA and I spotted this little gem.



I've never used the app/game but wouldn't it be cool if scanning the insignia would heal your character?

Nice little theme for today; first "Red Alert" then something to fix my bobos with.

Cool! When all the bandaids are gone, you can keep your figure's weapons and missiles in the tin.

Case in point:

Psj? I just found out that Night Strike Bumblebee's deco will be navy blue with silver and yellow accents!

That's totally the game plan, I was talking about that before leaving the store. It's taking everything I have to not dump the bandages and run.

If you can`t accept that, well guess what? You can go! But if not, then so be it.

Gonna keep these responses short and to the point.

That's most likely because none of us have any concrete answers to give to your questions. You may ask, but we typically aren't able to answer because we usually do not know the answers you seek.

And I must return your attention to what I wrote to you (and D-Max) back in June in this thread (which was never answered, btw).

Very cool. Nice to see these are making their way into stores.

Of course I'm right, Madeus_Prime. If you still don't believe me, just read this, and judge for yourselves:

The first one is from TFW2005.com:

And here is another one from TFormers.com:

As happened earlier in the week, retailer ToyWiz has inadvertently announced another upcoming Robots In Disguise figure: Warrior Class Megatronus! Autobase Aichi has seemingly been able to confirm this with a picture of Warrior Megatronus from the RID app. ToyWiz is claiming a December ship date, so perhaps we'll get a first look at the figure in a few weeks at New York Comic-Con. Until then, keep reading to see what we have right now!


This is just to tell you that those rumors are finally indeed turned out to be true! Which means that the RID2015 line both cartoon and toyline are not not yet, but very alive and well! Also that means that we'll be seeing more of these new characters in toyform. I do hope most of these do become toys. This includes Quillfire, as he is confirmed to be released this November.

Tell me not that Pseudo is never getting a toy, because he just might get one! Let Steeljaw release all these guys and see what these guys can do. Then we'll see if that his real body or not. As I said, if that is fake body, it will disappear once brutally knocked out. I've said numerous times before that not all Shifters are created, looked, and behave the same. Every Transformers must have true forms. Otherwise, they're nobody. You understand me? Nodbody! Get your facts straight! Pseudo's true robot-mode is not a creature with unusual shapes. He's not a chunk of metal. He's a ladybug larva. Get that? A ladybug larva! Shifters don't have to have bodies that resemble this animal. It can resemble any robot.

I don't care if it pleases you or offends you. I don't really care that if you freak out that you really do find my comments pretty hurtful or completely disrepectful. I really just don't. What I do care is that God knows that do have the right to say it. Why? Because that's just how it works now, doesn't it?

Now then, if Pseudo were to scan a official vehicle mode for his robot mode, what vehicle would best suits him? Please don't freak out on me, for asking you that? Why? Because I am very curious to know about it, Why? Because I do love this show so much as everybody else do. I will not stop or go away, until we all finally let Hasbro know that this is exactly what the people want!

Fellow Seibertronian welcometothedarksyde has found some new Robots in Disguise toys in Canada. These 2 weapon toys should be available all throughout northamerica soon if not already so check your local toy store/aisle if these peak your interest.
