Hellscream9999, could you please provide me a more detailed description or evidence as to why Crazybolt is a lizard and not a dinosaur? I'm only talking about the image taken from the game showing Crazybolt in all forms and in all angles, and not the image of the toy based on him.

That's what I'm going off of...

This:

Does not look remotely like this:

It looks much more like this:

Worked this up, if you still think it's a dino after this, I don't know what to tell you:

What I wanna know is why Crazybolt has two different designs.

As for what kind of (vomiting) lizard he is, maybe something like his namesake, the Predacon Crazybolt of Beast Wars Neo?

Perhaps, you`re right, Hellscream9999. Thanks for sharing with us.

No prob

based on his namesake, and the general design - as pointed out in my convenient graphic - I think it's safe to say that they are both loosely based on lizards of some sort :-?

Hellscream9999, just because that the horned lizard is named Crazybolt, does that mean he`s a psychopath, like Springload?

Isn't psychopath the genaric/default personality for Decepticons?

I would think lizardy is less of a personality telltale than a name like Crazybolt.

Most of the cons are pretty shallow one shot characters on that show anyway. They're just bad guyz doing bad things 'cause that's all they knows how to do. to be read in Thunderhoof's voice

I got Warrior Fracture from HTS this weekend. He is Fantastic!
Great transformation, decent deco, and that gun of his is awesome.
Keep these good Warrior Cons coming please.

He really is a cool figure. Sounds like he matched the hype then?

Got mine; Love him so much, he's so dynamic, his weapon is amazing - props to chuck for pointing out the butt of the gun can sit naturally under his arm ;)^

And, yes, we do need more of warriors like this, so very much.

Is he better than Titanium Megatronus?

You mean titanium The Fallen? Definitely; he's fun, poseable, has a functioning turret - with no sacrifices, plus two heads for your liking

Well, I've noticed that the rid line is skimping on joints. The 'cheap' clip method (used in fractures gun and front wheel strut, among other things) is just molded plastic, molded in the 'locked' position, so unclipping the gun to fold it up stresses the plastic and will break if repeatedly used. The same can be said of megs' elbows and shoulder armor; the ratchet is just a bit of plastic, when it gets rubbed down, the joints will do nothing #-o

BBTS has them up has anyone ordered the wave 1 Minicon Battle packs? Apparently Prime and Sideswipe are due in December, I doubt it but who knows.

While initial reception on the new Robots in Disguise toyline was lukewarm, it really seems to have found it's footing and the mincons' welcome return into the fiction and toyline (albeit reinvented) is a big help. Seibertron was lucky to get the new four pack in and take some prelminary pictures of them in their box. We had perviously only seen 3d toy models so this gives us a better idea of the deco and detail. This set (W1 341148) includes Backtrack, Swelter, Beastbox ad Scorch Strike. Enjoy!

I'm still waiting on those individual releases of Jetstorm and Airazor so I can have my show minicons, but these don't look too bad at all. Also can't wait for the minicon weapons

Didn't realize a new thread for RID toys had been started.

Lukewarm is a very diplomatic way to say it

FYI peeps, the minicon battle packs are in stock at Entertainment Earth. Keep in mind they're very, very expensive.

Here

and

Here

$34 does seem a little pricey, but with no scale for reference, I guess I can't really say that... yeah, no, they want $120 for a set of deluxe limbs, no way I'm buying anything from them >:oP

Entertainment Earth is strange with prices. I was going to get the wave 2 combiner wars limbs from them for $54.99, but then HTS got them in stock and with a 25% discount, so I went there instead. I also got the wave 3 limbs from there for $50.00 even, so I got good prices. It's just some are weird and I feel like there is a price difference depending on something I don't know about, such as me getting wave 3 at $12.50 individuals, but the whole set had 2 prices: one at $64.99 and another at $119.99. They're weird, but you can score, just maybe not here
