That artwork really looks like galvatron and cyclonus.

News Credits: 19 · by **Carnivius_Prime** » Wed May 31, 2017 9:33 am

I misread as Sharknado.

CRAP, so it's not Shockwave. :-(

*looks at Shockdrive's and Warnado's names*

...

*notices Warnado, or "War Tornado" looks like Cyclonus*

...

*groans* :roll:

This is strange because the legion IS called Cyclonus. Maybe Warnado will be his alias?
Then again, not exactly like this size class has been very accurate - Dragbreak, anyone?

The Legion is Cyclonus proper, as the Galvatronus combiner one has the same alt mode.

Hey guys, how do the legend/scout-ish figures of Optimus, Strongarm, Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Grimlock that came in the mini-con battlepacks scale with Generations Legends? Same size, bit smaller, bit bigger? Anyone got pics?

They are slightly bigger.

(far right Grimlock)

Courtesy of a post on Instagram by user Marcus Goh, we finally have a sighting for some new RiD Warriors - the long-awaited redecos of Blastwave and Bisk; Bludgeon and Thermidor! These were sighted at Singapore retail with unfortunately no details on the price or store, but we at least now know they're out there and they may start popping up elsewhere shortly. Check out the picture below and tell us if you plan to get these two in the Energon Pub!

Can't wait for these to trickle down in my neck of the woods. I've been tempted to buy the cosplay Bludgeon (Blastwave) but I decided to just wait for the actual Bludgeon.

Really does look like the 'fisher price version' of the classic RotF Bluddy. Pass.

by **Optimum Supreme** » Sun Jun 04, 2017 4:41 pm

Not really digging the red parts on Bludgeon that should be more of a brownish (or somewhere in between), but that'll still be worth a pickup if I have the money and it ever shows up here. Almost picked up that precolored version, but this will be better even with that wacky red.

I like that lobsterboy is essentially a Vehicon with some remolded robit parts.

I got Blastwave already, only because I like the deco, and it resembles a KO I own. I've renamed him Dokuronin. :lol:

But that won't stop me from getting Bludegon as the G1 guy. Best part: no rubbery plastic to worry about. Those bent swords, ugh.

Bludgeon looks better than I thought he would and now i'm not buyin Blastwave

I've passed up on Bisk to wait for Thermidor (whose head sculpt I like much better, something about Bisk weirds me out for some reason). Hope I get a shot at him before too long.

Seibertron's one and only chuckdawg1999 is at it again! This time, he brings us a review of G2 RID Combiner Force Hyper Change Thunderhoof. Check out Chuck's quick review of this sturdy figure and let us know if you plan on picking this one up via online retail (as Chuck did) or hunting for him in the wild.

Finally, I was starting worry that these guys were gonna get cancelled.

Finally, the return of my favourite character: Lunar Force Blizzard Strike Battle Core Magnus.

News Credits: 12 · by **Evil Eye** » Tue Jun 06, 2017 9:06 am

Warnado.

WARNADO.

That's the best name we've had in recent years.

Wait.

Wait.

WAIT!!

Lobster Bisk(Bisque) and Lobster Thermidor?! WHERE'S LEGO BATMAN?! IT'S HIS FAVORITE!!

I'm sorry if that has already been discussed, I just found it extra hilarious just right now. :lol:

I'll definitely pick up Bludgeon..and probably Thermidor too :lol:

The addition of a knee joint would've made these crash combiners a lot more interesting to play with.

News Credits: 19 · by **Carnivius_Prime** » Tue Jun 06, 2017 11:22 am

What kind of vehicle is that blue one that comes with the police car?

News Credits: 54 · by **Deadput** » Tue Jun 06, 2017 12:04 pm

Ugh Dragstrip and Wildbreak's colors are switched. (Therefore each of of them has the wrong head)

That would explain why Wildbreak has the G1 Dragstrip alt mode instead of both sharing the same car and why their positions on the combiner are switched.
