It did! I have no interest in the 1-Step's (neat as they may be) so this version will do fine

Me too, this may be the very first Legion toy from this line I'll ever buy.

Shipping is a flat rate of $3 world wide

I hope not. Wasnt a big fan. Great design but not a character I hope to see again. I still hope for all the decepticons though, I love all their designs.
To be fair, Young Bee stole that episode, robbing Quillfire of much of any chance to be interesting.

If there's any chance of us getting the Galvatron that the Covenant book spoke of to appear in this show, I could see Quillfire as having once been a member of Random, which was Galvatron's cult of chaos.

Is it still a spoiler thatQuillfire LOOKS like Bulkhead's vehicle mode? If this and the rumors that Prime Characters are slated for appearences later on/season 2, Someone else's money* says that Quillfire is another one of Hasbro's infamous Pre-tools.

Something tells me the new Warrior and Legion wave will be hard to find early since I have yet to find a store with these in-stock selling them outside of the complete case.

Malador, who debuted on Out Of Focus, listed as a cartoon-only character as according to TFWiki.net. Is this really true that Malador will never get a toy in the near future? All other characters do suffer the same fate as Malador did, and yet they still will be getting a toy. Will Malador ever get a figure in the near future?

I get such a TF Animated vibe from this little guy!

I have no interest in this line whatsoever but I still need to pick this guy up.

He looks like such a fun little figure.

You convinced me! I plan to get this one now. Thank you for the review!

oh im definitely getting one as the figure seems so well formed in all aspects , I love his character on the show and its understandable for his enthusiastic team spirit as he did spend a long time on his own travelling through space on a ship full of criminals

Some possibly big news has been hinted at in the recent update to the Transformers: Robots in Disguise Game App. The character section where one unlocks characters after purchasing the toys has been updated with the following characters: Megatronus, Prowl, Ironhide and Razorclaw Razorpaw.

While this concurs with the previous rumour of a Megatronus figure being released, as well as finally giving us an idea of the character's look, the toy class indicated offers more possible hints of things to come. One of the previous listings that this app revealed was One Step Thunderhoof (also included below for reference), which had his class name written atop the locked character. In his case, it was a One Step class toy (which was later confirmed). These new characters have different class names, Ultra and Champion, which are not classes available among the toys yet. This could simply be for the app, but the fact that it is directly related to the toys does make this an interesting possibility. To add to this theory, we can see that the Megatronus character has other toy classes behind him, which shows that the Ultra toy can be a separate entity from the rumoured Warrior class figure.

I swear, that Megatronus has the Leader Jetfire mold written all over it.

The Megatronus image also lines up perfectly with what was seen in the japanese intro:

I can certainly see where you're coming from.

Megatronus just looks like an Optimus Prime retool. He's probably the Fallen.

So I guess that they are going all in on the Covenant of Primus original 13 Primes stuff in the new show. That sounds really interesting.

I was kind of hoping that this character would turn out to be Galvatron, but I'm still excited for it.

I certainly hope so. I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to see more of them since they consolidated the whole mythos about them.

Since the RID2015 Cartoon series decepticons on earth. Are robots with beastial elements that transform into vehicles. Hoping this RID Megatron is a Leader class toy that is a Triple changer. that can Transform into a Robot, Then Wolf and Cybertronian Jet mode.

"Wold"?
Looking at keyboard
Ah, "Wolf"! Gotcha.

Honestly, I don't think such a mold could pull this off. A DRAGON can come out way more easely out of a jet than a wolf for sure.

Still, I do like the "anthro" Decepticon concept. I wonder if these forms would ever be explained? My random guess is some sort of McGuffin Device fused the Predacons and Decepticons together, creating that weird hybrid species of transformers.

Figured RID Megatronus's Jet mode could look like a Cybetronian style jet mode. Similar to Transformer Prime, Megatron's jet mode. Think making the wolf mode have wings. would help the Cybertronian jet mode look better.

I heard that the creators said on Twitter somewhere that there was a scene cut from the first episode's beginning with Prowl that shows that he is Bumblebee and Strongarm's boss.

Would explain why the show starts so abrupt.

No source besides one of the Creators twitter but I have seen multiple people say this so it seems like its true I'll edit this post when I can confirm.

that is a nice ironhide, I would buy it if it comes in legion class (3" tall)

News Credits: 1082 · by **Tigertrack** » Thu Apr 30, 2015 4:00 am

I find it odd hat they would have a Prowl and Ironhide toy in RID possibly on the shelves the same time or close to the same time as there are expected to be CW toys on the shelves. Or one is much further down the line than I think, or one is much sooner than I think.

Interesting, I guess.

Maybe the rebirth of the Cybertronian race in "Predacons Rising" brought with it a lot more diversity?
