And just like that, nightmare fuel has been added to the filter and I am now promptly scared. On the even worse side: Windblade may be the only autobot member of the team to not get a warrior at this rate

You can just use/buy the Generations version if you like her normal color scheme. A new R.I.D. Warrior Class version in the same colors would just be a waste of money.

I'd love to see a RID style cartoony Windblade figure. I do think they could slap another head on the gen figure and that could pass though.

And remold her fans and fix the heel issue.

Takara fixed the heel issue with Slipstream.

Oh and Cary, you want to see what an RID Style Windblade toy would look like? Your wish is my command.



Please dont cry yourself to sleep tonight.

Thing is: i would love it if they did that windblade up with a new shell that was the RiD version (they are identical except for aesthetic after all). and my current Windblade proudly stands with Metroplex as his city speaker

Do you mean you have to buy more or Hasbro should make more toys of characters who appeared in the show?
They should definitely make more Warrior class toys. Bisk would be very cool. And Underbite definitely needs a bigger version. Unfortunately they don't make Voyagers in this line but a three-step-change might as well be cool for him. And I would love to see a toy of that Decepticon combiner who's formed of those 6 spiders. But that won't happen.

I really like the designs of the Decepticons in RID and I would like to see more of them get Toys, I'm glad that Hasbro finally released more Decepticons since the line was seriously lacking them. A Warrior class Skowl would be cool, Maybe a larger version of Clampdown and Underbite needs a larger toy. Perhaps Springload could get a better toy since the One-step really doesn't interest me.

Yeah, Skowl would be great. I'm totally good with Clampdown's Legends class figure but just scalewise a Warrior class would be cool. I like one-step-Springload's alt mode. Looks really cool. If they'll make a Warrior class that one would get the show accurate alt mode I guess but I prefer the present one.
A Warrior Hammerstrike would also be great.

What I just noticed is that they don't make toys of characters that do not appear in the show (except of Mini-Cons and Tiny Titans). They definitely do not need more Decepticons than there already are in the show. But with the Autobots they just repaint the crap out of them.

I'm very interested in the new weapon type Mini-Cons.
Especially this one (also shown above):
http://www.transformers-universe.com/include.php?path=content/ToyDB_Info.php&Toy_ID=6287&Sprache=0
On this site he's listed as Bludgeon but I saw that Bludgeon actually is packed in that new Battle Pack with Optimus Prime and that one is also black but just a normal Cyclone, not a weapon type.

Lancelon is an awesome name. As well as the always perfect LORD DOOMITRON!!! A bot whose name demands caps lock usage.

meh, not interested until we get warrior class figures

Is it sad that I just watched the reviews of the decepticon hunter packs and I kinda want the Optimus and (when he comes out) Grimlock? Not to mention Crazybolt cause he is just crazy and It clicks with me?

The ones that come with the energon armor and the minicons.



and that deployer Crazybolt

I will be curious to see if Crazy Bolt can actually close his mouth or not.

Yeah, Optimus looks really cool in his Energon armor. And I hope that the deployer gimmick works on Crazybolt better than on Overload.

I hate to be one that makes assumptions; how about "generally nice guy and new acquaintance"?

Just in case anyone missed it in my other review, and by the numbers it looks like they have; in the shoulder of Optimus Prime from the Minicon Battle pack there's a slot, this allows the ax to be stored in vehicle mode. Very close to the Warrior Class version.

I just picked up BP OP this weekend (about to drop some pics in my neck of the woods) and I noticed that as well. As a bonus the axe can also store in "super axe" mode. And if you're feeling real froggy, you can shove the axe in his backpack.

The super Ax mode is very flimsy on mine so I never tried storing it like that. I see Hyperchange Blizzard Drift, but I never saw a normal version of Drift as a Hyperchange figure. Did I miss something?

I wonder what size some of those RID toys might be - they look fairly basic so I'm strugling to think what size class they would fit in some case they could be either Minicons or Legions for example.

If you're talking about the battle packs that come with a minicon, then cyberverse size. OP scales great with the legion autobots.

You should give some of the other sizes a chance. For example...

That OP is really cool, I'd recommend him. I'm excited for the BP Grimmy as well Crazybolt.

The round minicons are quickly becoming my favs.

Haven't seen any of the new stuff 'round here. But they lack too much articulation for me to buy them right now - with my financial situation as it stands. I got my 'cute' unarticulated figures back with the mini-cons in Armada, but I'm looking into Dragonus

Optimus just looks beef and Grimlock's armor makes him look all AoE Grimmy, which is awesome and I love it! And Crazybolt is so insane I just want him for the desire to have

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Optimus just looks beef and Grimlock's armor makes him look all AoE Grimmy, which is awesome and I love it! And Crazybolt is so insane I just want him for the desire to have

Crazybolt does look like a lot of fun

Fair enough. Dragonus is one of the better ones. Which is kinda funny, because it was one of the ones I held off on the longest. The single packs are easy pickups for lil fun bots. I'm holding off for sales for the other deployers I don't have (will probably make an exception for Crazybolt).

Anyone wanna play top 5 RID mini-cons?

5. Airazor - wicked evil looking little guy
4. Ratbat - looks like a twisted mutant robot vampire bat
3. Beastbox - I just like the menacing design
2. Dragonus - he has a tail and can perch
1. Backtrack - the new guy, not bad articulation and makes a fun rolly ball

I could honestly find something good to say about each one. I accept them for what they are. They have spread out beyond my RID shelf and are hanging with other bots from other lines or like Dragonus; perched high, watching, planing, waiting for the time to strike.

I have yet to get any minicons, but I am waiting out individual releases of the ones the come with Drift and Fracture and get them at the same time as their brethren. plus the weapons minicons I want those

Hold onto the thought, and get back to me when RID is over and Seibertron has all the galleries. Then if you are cool with it, I would love to have you write out that top 5 list.
