He isnt G1 Blurr, he is Rescue Bots Blurr, they even say that in the fiction.

Did you watch the trailer? They make a joke about him being from rescue bots. RID Sideswipe crossed into Rescue bots and now Rescue Bots Blurr crosses over into RID.

Word up.

I saw him at Walmart the other day when I picked up Soundwave, and I was soooooooo close to buying him. Let's hope I don't regret it later.

Why not just buy him now? I know we arent made of money but he wasnt that expensive right?I mean when comparing to the MSRP of some TLK figures that are partly just redecos of older figs, Hasbro gives us this nice new mold of Blurr which is the first retail release of an articulated Rescue Bots character for a nice affordable price point. I say jump on it

I know I will if I find him.

Glad you picked up Soundwave ;)^

I'd like to see more of his alt mode. Reminds me of Action Master Prime's awesome truck.

"Hi-Test"? So that's where the other one went... Throttle must be really lonely :lol:

And he was announced before, I just don't remember when.

:EDIT: Now I remember, it's from the mobile game.

What are these?

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Wed Apr 26, 2017 4:21 am

Fellow Seibertronian Maximal Rainmaker has sent us a sighting of the Dickie Toys licensed Transformers: Robots in Disguise set of figures, spotted at a Target in Canberra, Australia. They're two-packed, non-transforming, die-cast vehicles, three sets in total: Optimus Prime with Strongarm, Bumblebee with Steeljaw and Optimus Prime with Sideswipe. Check them out below!

Hey look, next to Bee, it's that one important Decepticon who's not in the show anymore.

...Even though the theme song won't stop showing him.

The animalistic Decepticons were one of the best parts of this show and toyline. I hope the G1/Prime heavy look and feel of the recent villains is only temporary!

Then you'll like (who I think might be) Prong.

So if you want Sideswipe and Strongarm, you gotta accept that you are getting 2 Primes? Bummer.

But these look really awesome. despite not being officially licensed vehicles, they are incredibly fun to look at, and they are sweet.

Eeeh... to be honest, I kind of think this'll be the last 'wave' of sorts of RiD. It's been going on for a few years now and generally main Transformers shows (and their toyline) end around this point to make way for a new one. Could be wrong, but it just sorta feels like this is the last hurrah.

News Credits: 11 · by **RAR** » Wed Apr 26, 2017 5:38 pm

I see no reason to stop - they have Movies to hype and no clear idea of what to replace it with - just keep making mini-seasons of the show - now it's finally getting some fans - it would be silly to start over when RID was super slow burn.

They could slot in a new TV show in a hurry if they find there is a delay in the Movie releases - but otherwise - why bother replacing it.. unless it's with another sequel - that would work too.

Personally I'd welcome a toyline and show very much like the cancelled or Chinese only Prime Style Videogames from 5 years or so ago.

Seibertronian forum admin Burn has let us know that the Ozformers Facebook page has posted a new sighting, this time in the form of Crash Combiner Skyhammer! Skyhammer was sighted at a Kmart and a Toymate for $19. If this guy interests you and you live in Australia, head on out and start hunting him down!
