I really hoped to get those guys, but even HTS so far is letting me down, along with the stores I go to. I know that the minis appeared elsewhere but around here they were no where to be seen.

groundpounder was there, but they sold out of him, and took his post down while they were cleaning the site a couple weeks back, I've seen a a buncha times though, looks alright |:|

He was there? I only saw Bisk a week or 2 ago and I've been keeping up to date [-(

But even then, just buying that one figure would still incur shipping costs no? And yeah, it is weird that Hasbro wouldnt list those wave 3 and 4 minicons, especially since they werent so hot at big box retailers.

It would, but then I could buy it with other items to get the free shipping, or I could get it off the HTS Ebay store, which offers free shipping on everything over $0.99

If they weren't hot at big box retailers, what hope would they have of selling them on hts? wave 1 and 2 are still warming their digital shelves, besides, they don't get everything that's released...

If no one ordered them then Hasbro would have overstock and maybe resort to selling it through their own retail outlet HTS.

Fellow TF Fan MrNeurie wrote to us to let us know that the Weapon Mini-cons that make up the 5th wave of Robots in Disguise Mini-cons were found in the UK at Toys R Us. This wave includes Slipstream, Lord Doomitron, Bashbreaker and Tricerashot. These have yet to be found in the US, so let us know if ever you come across them.

Anyone else agree that two recolored Bashbreakers would make a good Rumble and Frenzy?

He's a con in the 4 pack, but doesn't come with the clear parts unfortunately.

Well now its you who is lucky, because you guys already have that figure. He comes exclusively in the 4 pack

Canada hasnt gotten that 4 pack yet.

That Duel Cannon mode Minicon slightly resembles Prime Bumblebee's forearm blasters - I thought.

I am a champion of this line for its innovative designs and thankfulness for still delivering traitionally complex transformations in the warrior class, but I wont argue with anyone about them being small. I was playing with some toys yesterday and then I put them side by side and :shock:

Thats a scout class next to Quillfire.

News Credits: 456 · by **Sabrblade** » Thu Sep 01, 2016 8:51 pm

I don't think that's too bad since Quillfire's supposed to be kind of on the short side.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Thu Sep 01, 2016 8:53 pm

Agreed. Quillfire and Steeljaw are the shorter stockier warriors by a fair bit, so that's not really surprising to me

News Credits: 191 · by **Kurona** » Thu Sep 01, 2016 8:59 pm

Steeljaw is short and stocky?

Can't say it's the impression I got from him.
To be fair this is the first time you could really compare heights and Primus above was he a hulking monster.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Thu Sep 01, 2016 9:01 pm

I was talking about the toy. It is really short

News Credits: 456 · by **Sabrblade** » Thu Sep 01, 2016 9:01 pm

Yeah, I'm with Kurona. Steeljaw may squat a lot, but he's overall quite massive in his stature.

Ah okay, misread. Thought you were saying his toy being short and stocky was justified by him being the same in the show or something.

Oh no no no no no, not by a long shot. Steeljaw deserved a better size than what he got truly. And he is a good character and a great design

Shame there is yet to be Overscaled KO RID Decepticons. I get the impression there isn't any plans to make any more Overscale RID KO's if they couldn't even be bothered to repaint the existing moulds (excluding the simplified ones). Steel Jaw would have been nice to have a bit bigger, as would Quillfire & Megatronus too.

With the apologies for the double post - curious things are afoot in RID land
