Aaahh....so they're not PCC...they do have bot modes(albeit rather simplistic ones), that Motormaster one looks really cool and Cyclonus looks ok too, the jet vehicons look weird

So...Galvatronus & Menasor are a 5 bot combiner! now it makes me wonder if they ever do a RID Devastator & Piranacon if those'll be 6 bot combiners :-?

I'm telling ye...it's only a matter of time before RID also do Headmasters! as they seem to be shadowing other lines(at least in part...with the combiner gimmick).

If they still sell for about that $35-40 price range that was rumored, it would be awesome. They are simple, they look like lots of fun, and they are really cool!

Yea sorry, these look super janky to me, like bigger versions of the crash combiners, easy pass.

After the general catch-all gallery we posted just here, we've had time to sort the images out by type and line, so we can offer you a smoother viewing experience! And now it is time for Robots in Disguise. In one day, these toys have become really hot now that we know all these combiners have both Robot Modes and Alt Modes along with their combined forms. The gallery has Ultra Bee, Galvatronus and Menasor. There was also the next set of Legions out on display, like Cyclonus, and the upcoming Warrior Thermidore who has a new headsculpt.

Check them out below, and click on any image to view the full gallery!

... hmmm. Awesome-Battle-Mask Windblade or Headmaster-with-Awesome-Swords Windblade... :-?

News Credits: 1641 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Sat Feb 18, 2017 9:04 pm

I'm glad Thermidor is coming out for those who like him. I'm gonna pass since I already have Bisk, but cool, and I have Windblade, so I'm passing on her as well.

Helps me save money for the combiners!!! I love the looks. Yeah, they may seem a bit shite, but they are kiddy and they are fun and they are simple, which is kinda the point and is the reason I love them.

Primestrong as a Crash combiner is really neat. The figure is fun and is one of my favorite desk toys, so if these guys can meet that standard, I am all set.

I concede to a point I was trying to make yesterday. These guys are gimicky, but cheaper than Combiner Wars toys and with those still fresh, it wouldnt make sense to just do it all over again, especially when similar characters are at play. So with the lower price point and cool look, I say why not. If kids want a more detailed Menasor, they can get it. I dont really like these much but I do adore the bigger bots in them. that Motormaster looks incredible with his stylized manner and I am really curious about the engineering on Grimlock. I cant believe he actually has a full on dino mode when we only see half the dino in combined mode. I might buy these just to see how it all works out. And hey, I like Power Ranger toys, these arent too different. And now I actually wonder if they are compatible with eachother. Like can you swtich limbs around, could be fun :-?

We ain't finished yet! After the galleries and official images of the products shown and revealed at Toy Fair 2017 in Javits Center, New York City, we now turn to more videos of the Hasbro Transformers section, ranging from The Last Knight to Robots in Disguise, via Rescue Bots and Titans Return!

First up below is a collection of clips introducing the new Combiner Force branch of the show and toyline for Robots in Disguise, along with turnarounds of Menasor and the Autobot combiner we know as Ultra Bee, plus a video look at the whole RID section of the Hasbro stalls - check them out!

Ultra Bee's sword has a very Drift-esque color scheme, doesn't it?

News Credits: 11 · by **RAR** » Sun Feb 19, 2017 7:15 am

I wonder if Bee's sword stores on his back like the Turnaround has it.

They re really small as Activator Combiners are only deluxe size and full combined they are not more than a timy bit taller than activator combiner bee in package next to them and he's well under 6" tall.

So I'd say the individual limb-bots are going to be not so far away in size from the crash combiners in size and the torsos are going to be scout size (roughly) in their robot modes.

Fellow Seibertronian ChuckDawg1999 has reviewed the latest One Step Bumblebee found under the Combiner Force subline of Robots in Disguise.

Here are his thoughts on it:

chuckdawg1999 wrote:As someone who collects One-Step changers I know, there's been a lot of Bumblebees, a lot. This version from the Combiner Force subline is different, the Transformation is fun and the robot mode feels solid. If you're looking for a fun desk toy then definitely give Bumblebee a look.

And here are his thoughts on the Optimus One-Step from the Combienr Force subline:

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Surprisingly, Optimus Prime hasn't had that many appearances in the RID One-Step line. This version from the Combiner Force sub-line actually mimics the Warrior Class transformation somewhat, with the cab becoming the arms. Like all One-Step changers, Prime makes for a fun desk toy and is worth a purchase.

I saw somewhere on Twitter that the combiner sets are to be sold at the $29.99 price point, so the size works out, along with the simplicity. Really excited for these sets!

Sorry if I missed it, but did we get any info on the size of the combiners?

realize I could go look at pics, so I will. :-P

Considering the Crash combiners about deluxe size, the 4/5 bot combiners appear to be about voyager height, but very bulky

By "Deluxe" do you mean Legends/Scout? :-?

Edit: I see what you are saying. Combined the Crashers are deluxe size. I see it now.

More like 'deluxe height'. Primestrong is about the height of my other deluxes present
