Not really. I saw that it was common that there were some bits that just didn't want to stay put in either mode (like the heels) that made the figure a bit fiddly and a bit difficult at times, but is wasn't bad though by any stretch. I still like her, but she's not as fun to transform and try to stand as others

Meh, guess I'm the only one that has no problems with her; I will say that the thigh design on her is total garbage, those little ornamental prongs near her pelvis just trash her poseabillity

I wasn't the biggest fan of Generations Windblade due to issues with her mold. The figure looks nice in robot mode, the jet mode looks good with the exception of the noticeable feet. It's the posability and the issues with her heels that make the toy a bit frustrating to handle.

And hopefully this new version has some improvements to her design that makes her a bit more fun too! :MAXIMAL:

I stand by the thigh plates being the real enemy of fun everywhere [-(

Wouldnt Battle Core Prime be better for Nova?

This guy looks more like the type to turn into Thunderclash since he has that colour scheme going on.

There are already Reprolabels to turn BC OP into Thunderclash, Nova Prime and Ultra Magnus.
And I think the new Power Surge OP works perfectly as Nova because of his wings. Hopefully TT turns this one into Nova instead of Nemesis.

Found the Decepticon Hunter Grimlock pack and bought it! I must say, I love it! The energon pieces are pretty sweet and make awesome armor!! (and Back is a bit fun too) :MAXIMAL:

now that season 2 episode 1 is out, i'm kinda hoping for a Warrior Class Overload rather than just the very hollow Deployer one.

Some new news for the Transformers Robots in Diguise line, too, in the smaller class of Legion figures. Thanks to the German branch of online retailer Amazon, we have a look at official photography of the known Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime, and new reveal Ratchet - which shares a lot of similarities to his Prime design, and could indicate a return of the grumpy medic to the screen. Let us know what you think in the Energon pub!

Not only has the Strongarm mold's head been remolded but its torso as well. Neat.

by **psj333** » Sun Feb 21, 2016 10:33 am

You know, if this is true, I'm pretty sure that Fixit will get a chance to meet his own predecessor for the first time, since that he, too, is also a medic.

Toys I couldn't care less for, but the art of Ratchet makes me hopeful we might see some of Team Prime in the show.

News Credits: 26 · by **MaverickPrime** » Sun Feb 21, 2016 11:57 am

I love how his new design has a windscreen chest but the retool gives him his old car doors chest, why? :lol:

When Ultra Magnus got a Legion toy, his artwork was a recolored version of that toy's Optimus Prime art (with UM head added). The fact that Ratchet gets his own design in the artwork is very intriguing.

News Credits: 1641 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Sun Feb 21, 2016 12:55 pm

I love Ratchet's art. I really hope he comes back for the show :MAXIMAL:

News Credits: 54 · by **Deadput** » Sun Feb 21, 2016 2:52 pm

Notice how the box art design is completely different from the toy's?

I think there is a good chance that Ratchet can return since he chose to stay on Earth yes I know he came back to Cybertron for Predacons rising but it was an emergency and I'm pretty sure he went back afterwards

I bought a RiD toy.

He's small for a Legions, his mouth won't close, his little legs are nearly useless for any kind of support (such as the above pose), and his car has a big hole in the back

And it's rather depressing that this is the same size class that gave us the Dreads, the Terrorcons, and the highly articulated Fixit; and people will inevitably lose his eyes and legs.... But I guess Clampdown's alright.

Clampdown is an awesome little dude. I love him! yes he has less posability, but he looks pretty darned good :MAXIMAL:

We have a whole slew of new toy images for upcoming produts from the Transformers Robots in Disguise line. While some of these were previously seen as CG renders, these are pictures of the actual toys.

German wesbite Brandora has product images for Robots in Disguise Stealthsaurus Rex Grimlock. The stealth mode refers to him having the same colour pattern as the Stealth Bumblebee deco but this time on the Three Step Grimlock.

Amazon.ca has images for Titan Gardian Strongarm and Grimlock.

Hasbro Poland has the official toy images for the upcoming minicons Scorch Strike Jetstorm, Ransack, and Glacius, who are all part of the 4th wave of minicons.

At least I am finally getting my individual Jetstorm to go with slipstream....

Now just need Airrazor as an individual :MAXIMAL:

Continuing their war on Grimlock, Hasbro gives him the appearance of a nauseous, constipated orangutan!

The 7-year old is going to love new minicons.

Ugh...Titan figures, does anyone actually buy those? The 7-year old is already way too old to like them and the twins will beat each other with them.

Judging by the profane amount of 'em that I've see decomposing in various clearance aisles over the years, I'd say, no >:oP

Stealth Bumblebee, with a green... tail? Oh.
So is everyone going to wear black and yellow?

Reportedly, the Titans are a hit in poorer markets where they can't afford actual transformers.

That would be great if these cost $5, but they don't. I think my local stores sell these for $20. You can actually buy deluxe transformers that, you know, transform for $5 less.

I just don't get the point of the shampoo bottles. They can't transform. They don't have the increased articulation that non-transforming Transformers often have. They don't have the increase in accuracy, sculpture and paintwork that minimally articulated figures often have. And they aren't even that cheap. If they were hugely poseable or gorgeously painted or extremely cartoon accurate or only £2 I might understand. But as is? There is literally no point to getting them over a Warrior class figure or even a one-step. I'm no economist, but there is absolutely no way that continuing to make these...things makes any sense for Hasbro. It decreases the budget they have for other lines and it takes up space on store shelves that could be used by stuff that will actually sell.
