We have some new listings for Robots in Disguise toys. At Walmart.ca, we have the four wave 2 weaponizer mini-cons. They are available right now for $7.92 CAD, while the US has yet to even see wave 1 of these guys. On the US side, we have Amazon listings for two 3-step Robots in Disguise toys: Energon Boost Bumblebee and Drift in his original colours. Only Drift is currently available directly from amazon right now, for $19.99 US.

You can find the images found in the listings below and to go to the listings, just click the following links:

3 Step Energon Boost Bumblebee

3-Step Drift

Weaponizer Mini-con Dragonus

Weaponizer Mini-con Windstrike

Weaponizer Mini-con Sawtooth

Weaponizer Mini-con Lancelon

Be wary, the listings for Dragonus and Windstrike have been reversed.

Hot DAMN, now THERE'S the Dragonus I should always have had!

Haha, yeah. remember when we first met you here and thought this was the one you were seeing in the UK?

I bloody wish!

That is the same 3-Stepper Drift they have in some TK MAXX stores in the UK - I forget how much he cost as I was more focused on finding other toys at the time. Though I did also spot the Bee that turns into a gun as well.

There is also a really nice Simba Dicky boxed set of RID cars too that has a Black Bumblebee and a White Sideswipe in it and what looks like a very slightly different Optimus it also contains Steeljaw but I didn't spot any colour difference - someone who has bought it could tell you more - they also had Simba Dicky RID Prime with a G1 like Trailer too.

Stupid question but does everyone have a Warrior Jazz who wants one? I got the Takara one in a two pack with Drift and don't need the US one anymore.

Just saw the Wave 2 Weaponizers yesterday at my local Walmart.

They had all four, but the only one that looked decent in weapon mode was Dragonus. The rest were pretty boring looking.

They also had Voyager Astrotrain and Alpha Trion, but I passed on them in lieu of their Takara counterparts. (I also have rain checks for $20.00 Voyagers at TRU, so there's no way I'm paying full pop. ha ha)

Walmart has a 90 day return policy. So you can buy them at Walmart and when they finally get released at TRU, buy them there and return them to walmart to get your money back.

Wow. Dragonus switches sides more than Sideways!

I was thinking of doing the ol' switcheroo but I'm just too busy this week to bother with it. I also know that if I wait the 90 days I'll forget. ha ha.

Once TFcon is done and over with I'll pick them up.

Oh, found Astrotrain and Trion at the Trafalgar Walmart in Oakville Ontario, and the Weaponizers at the Brant Walmart in Burlington Ontario.

Hey i didn't even know that there was a vid review of this guy up already

Yeah, there are a few reviews out there, sinc he did come out a while ago. But I dont really see the point of a video review for this guy or how that would change anyone's opinion. The mold is very well known now and the only change here is the deco. And I personally find that for deco changes, pictures are always more help than a video.

Scatterspike is a girl.

Now if only those damn minicons would work their way this way

It's useful to know things like if it's more or less floppy than the previous one if the colours work better or worse ; If it suffers from any flaws, miss-assembly issues or mould degredation, - if you don't have that mould yet - it might help you decide on which colour to pick or if the accessories are something that is suitable for duel wielding or juggling with the prior mould release. Those are just some of the reasons to watch a repaint review I can think of.

Good to know. I wouldn't have had a clue otherwise (unless it says so on the packaging). So can I treat her as a sit com wife to Quillfire then ?

Seems a bit of an odd role for her considering she's all but a cowboy-type character in the show. But hey, that sort of stuff breeds comedy.

Yeah, she's a rough-n-tumble, quick-drawin', down'n'dirty kind'a gal, rearin' to get her paws on whatever Autobot salvage she'n 'er Scavenger posse can wrangle up! Yeehaw!

BAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Mr. Skram, you there buddy? I promised you this.

So yesterday I got RiD Ratchet and Bisk with high hopes. and those hopes were not dashed in the slightest. Both are excellent figures, and here is why.

Bisk: this guy oozes character. the whole figure is very unique, with half the car forming monstrous arms and claws. And the funny thing is: no kibble! He has absolutely no kibble anywhere! he is tight yet bulked out. His claws are massive and wholly his alone. the little guns are almost unnecessary. and his face is a great match for the show and again, utterly unique. His transformation is fun, and his car mode is slick and stylized and really cool. He is another great Decepticon in the line!

Ratchet: now, this mold does suffer a bit from the whole shoulder part that limits movement, but it is very much made up for in the look and aesthetic of the guy. He looks like the show, yet looks like MTMTE Ratchet as well after his return from looking for Drift. He has big beefy legs and the dual pistols are awesome. His back kibble, I've found and like this way, can come together at a point on his back, so he has no wings and it looks like his medical "backpack" like in Prime. There is enough red and black to make the smaller number of paint apps not really an issue. The transformation is fun and differs a bit from Strongarm. And then his alt mode is massive! He is wider tha the CW guys I just bought and taller and longer! The alt mode is big!

I would recommend both figures. They are both well worth picking up as they are fun, cool looking, and both pack an interesting flavor that will leave anyone enjoying the dessert bar.

Thanks man! I'll probably grab both if I ever see them. I definitely need a Ratchet for my Lost Lighters. The lack of paint might be easily remedied because I've been going to town with the cheap paint markers I picked up from walmart recently. Very effective so far.

I don't think you'll be disappointed in any way. They are both awesome, and some very light touch-up work will do wonders for Ratchet
