A PDF checklist for RObots in Disguise toys can be found on Hasbro.com. This checklist is reminescent of what has been included with other toys from other companies in the past, showing you what there is to collect and for kids to keep track of what they have (like with Mighty Beanz). This list shows various new and upcoming products. A few of these are actually products we have yet to actually see revealed outside the app such as:

One-Step Changers/Advanced Optimus Prime
One-Step Changers/Advanced Strongarm
Three-Step Changer Grimlock redeco (listed in the RID mobile game as "Stealthasaurus Grimlock")

Click on the following images of these three new toys to find the entire checklist.





Update: The checklist also gives us another look at new minicon redecos we last saw in a promotional image.

Stealthasaurus... While I give them props on the name, said stealthasaurus is gold black and bright green... pretty sure he won't find himself being stealthy anywhere, would've been hilarious if it had attachable parts to give him his 'vehicle' disguise from the show

Those three Mini-Cons on the far right of the first page are new too. Or rather, their decos are new.

They may be a stupid Question - but what is that new Grimlock in the Argos Catalogue ?
it looks a lot like the One step changer but it also seems to be bigger and a slightly different mould - is it one of these new larger One steps or is it a new mould 3 step changer ? Or is it just a regular one step that looks larger because of the photo ?

Can you post a pic? Or are you referring to the 'easy bake grimlock' pictured above?

Stealtsaurus is an awesome name, no way around it

Yeah this one.



I think I figured it out it looks like the bigger one is a blown up One step and the smaller one is a visually shrunk 3 step in beat mode.

Thought it might be a new inflated mould based on the one-step but on closer inspection probably not.

Thanks, I don't recognize it, but, then again, I don't pay attention to the easy-bake tf's...

*Edit, here it is: Easy-Bake Grimlock

Those are the same characters. They don't look 'new' to me any more than the latest CW combiners are 'new'....

So, Sky Awesome is a repaint, huh?

Argos like screwing up their catalogue listings as you can see they also have an image of Vortex under Transformers Voyagers.

Huh, guess you're right, weird, they seem to pay as much attention to tf's as the guy that transforms them for official pictures

Though, I would be all for a new torso character that is a freight copter, or another large helicopter

You mean the ones we newsed back in December http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... age/34457/

Fellow Seibertronians, our old pal Chuck has dropped by to give us his thoughts and review of the new legion class Windblade! Enjoy the video below!

chuckdawg1999 wrote:This took longer than expected. For whatever reason Windblade is a hard to find figure, and unfortunately not really worth the effort of a hunt. Yes it's a Legion toy, but it's missing the spark that a figure like Thunderhoof has that makes it feel a little more dynamic. Transformation is solid, and both modes are far more stable than the Deluxe figure, but the current market price is way more than what the toy is worth. Hopefully Windblade and the rest of the wave will reach retail saturation soon.

Those holes in the wings aren't for the little posts on the outside of the hands to fit into?
Seems like they'd fit in there to hide the arms a bit better?

She's tiny! I've had bigger chunks of corn in my crap!

... Anyone remember that movie?

Hasbro may not have shown up at the UK Toy Fair last weekend, but the EU section has its presence at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany - and with that come their press releases about upcoming products on the European market (which have already been seen elsewhere). So far, all we have seen relates to the Transformers: Robots in Disguise line - as you can read in German below, with a quick translation from yours truly - but we do have additional info on the recently reported Hyper Surge Optimus, here named Gigawatt Optimus Prime. Read on below for more info and images!

Die Transformers Mini-Cons sind kleine Transformers, die sich im Handumdrehen verwandeln lassen. Die zahlreichen Charaktere sind bereits seit Staffel 1 fester Bestandteil der TV-Serie und direkt bereit für den Einsatz. Sie sind zudem auch in Form von Mini-Con Battle Packs erhältlich, inklusive einem Mini-Con, einer verwandelbaren Transformers-Figur sowie zahlreichen Ausrüstungsgegenständen.

Der Gigawatt-Optimus Prime aus der bekannten TV-Serie „Robots in Disguise“ verwandelt das Kinderzimmer in eine aktiongeladene Transformers-Welt. In sieben Transformationsschritten wird er vom coolen Truck zum Roboter. Zusammen mit dem enthaltenen Mini-Con entfaltet der Autobot dann seine ganzen Kräfte. Steckt man ihn an Optimus an, aktivieren sich Sound- und Lichteffekte. Dynamische Flugsounds bei Bewegung sowie adaptierbare Flügel und Laser-Kanonen komplettieren den Spielspaß des Gigawatt Optimus Prime.

Gigawatt

Giga Waaaaaaaaaaatt?!?

Those first Minicons look fun.

Yay weapon Slipstream!

Yeah, the Windblade legion toy is hot garbage. Huge disappointment, just like the character's depiction in the show.

Well at least its cool to know Hasbro is releasing a big Optimus that has more articulation.

Indeed! Do we know how big he is? Are we assuming Leader? Voyager?

I am assuming leader based on the price point found in the listing.
