whoever did the cgi should be making a tf show. that would look great. it would take time. but it would look great.

I really don't mind the simplicity of the process. These toys are for kids, after all. And we all know Hasbro has been simplifying transformations over the last couple of years.

I didn't realize that there's a spring transformation component to the Crash Combiners. I'm really interested in them now.

I guess the window has passed on the Weaponizer Minicons. I'd love to know what happened.

I was under the impression that the stateside release of pretty much anything minicon-related got ruined by the first couple waves of minicons and deployers not selling so great.

Youtuber Panda Prime Productions was kind enough to take this video from the local walmart, showing Combiner Force Beeswipe (Bumblebee and Sideswipe) And Prime Strong (Strongarm and Optimus Prime). In the video, it is shown that the figures appear to be going for around $9.84 per 2-pack, about the price of a 1-step changer. Now that you know they are hitting the shelves, go out and find yourselves some Combiner Force combiners!

Where in the US were these found?

I agree with the reviewer that you do get that WFC/FOC/TFA vibe with Soundwave

Blurr looks cool too, although pity you couldn't fit a Titan Master sized figure in is car mode coz that canopy looks like it could open

I don't think Jelze knows

I forgot, simply because the images for the smaller robot modes were smaller than the others and thus stood out less. I thus retract my statements and hide in shame [/quote]


No shame to be claimed they really do not promote their individual robot modes at all ; they are not shown in the Advert video and they are only tiny blurbs on the boxes - and the only reason I knew myself was I saw that video posted on the Seibertron Youtube page that shows the Sideswipe in individual robot mode.

I would put this down as another example of the terrible product information Transformers has - especially on RID toys (the Instructions are border-line unreadable.) They are so small it's easier to look up a scan online that look at the actual packets.

Kickback? Why... for... me no find.... where ME am...?

From Cybertron Philipines, we have in package images for the upcoming second assortment of the Robots in Disguise Combiner Force toys. While many toys repeat, we do get the new warrior Decepticons like Soundwave and Skywarp, and Blurr gets 3 toys through different classes. You also get a new class replacing the 3 step changers called Hyper Flip. These seem to be new molds but they are very reminiscent of the 3 step changers. Also, the repacked Windblade seems to have different paint apps. Let us know what you think. Here is the breakdown:

Combiner Force Legion Wave 2 – Blurr, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Bisk
Combiner Force One-Step Changers Wave 2 – Blurr, a new version of Sideswipe, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Drift
Combiner Force Hyper Flip Wave 1 – Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Grimlock, and Thunderhoof
Combiner Force Crash Combiners Wave 2 – Skyhammer and Stormsledge, Primestrong and Beeside.
Combiner Force Warrior Wave 2 – Blurr, Soundwave, Skywarp, Grimlock and Windblade.

I do hope that Windblade's better than the last...

They were never found in the US?

On the flipside, you guys got the weapon minicon 4 pack, Canada never got it.

Some of the most anticipated figures in the Robots in Diguise line are Warrior Blurr and Soundwave, especially since Blurr seems to be an interpretation of his Recue Bot look.

We have video reviews of both coming from Chefatron who found them at Toysrus in the Phillipines.

Enjoy and let us know what you think!

Well, yes and no. It was released but I don't think it made it into all stores, the same thing with that other 4 pack with the weaponized Slipstream.

JelZe had just claimed otherwise in her previous post above. That's what RAR was responding to.

My fault, I misread her post as meaning they're only tops or bottoms, not both and thought RAR was replying to something else since Will had already just mentioned the bot modes.

Anyway, there's still people finding wave 1 Minicons in stores? I really haven't seen too many Minicons of any type lately. What I have seen is pegs full of Windblade and nothing else. Kids aren't being fooled by the bad paint job I guess.

I still see them, but they've been mostly plucked dry after Christmas. Thank Goodness. Right now Walmart has them on Rollback... as "Weaponizer Minicon Asst." We never got past wave 2!

She ain't messing around. Kind of want to pick her up now!

Wow that blurr reminds me a lot of Prime Wheeljack. It's pretty awesome... I wasn't planning on buying anymore non-idw characters anymore, but I might have to pick this up.

If they were going to give Windblade a new head anyway, why not just make her Maxima?

... She looks the same to me. Then again, if they actually redecoed her and gave her a fancy title like "Blizzard Strike", "Alpine Strike" or "Night Ops" maybe I'd notice the difference.
