So are those repacks or new molds.

New molds. They are kind of like Dark of the Moon era Stealth Force activated by minicons

Are they the same size as warrior class?

That I do not know. I haven't seen them personally.

I will say though that after watching the reviews, Blurr is a stunner. Stormshot has some impressive paint. the Blastwave/Bludgeon remolding looks awesome. And Soundwave still looks cool but a bit finniky

When I found it, I compared it to RID Windblade and TR Chromedome on the pegs next to her. She's slightly smaller than the deluxe figures.

After the US sighting back here, we also have a UK sighting of the recent Transformers: Robots in Disguise Combiner Force figures, including Blastwave, Alpine Strike Drift, Stormshot and a deluxe Starscream! They were priced at £18 (~21 USD) at Sainsbury's in Mowbray, and spotted by fellow Seibertronian Collectotron - if you see any yourself make sure to flag it up in our Sightings database too!

Dunno if this is new info or not, but the Legends have also shown up in the UK, Saw these in my local Tesco (in Braintree, Essex)...

That price for those RID toys isnt that bad compared to what I heard from some UK fans. Its pretty standard all things considered, with them being $19.99 USD in the US as MSRP. THE RID toys are $20 MSRP in Canada too.

Saw the legends and combiner force crash combiners this weekend. Held off because Springlaod is springing up everywhere right meow

Oh. Um...right. I forgot to mention this but I found Combiner Force Starscream and sevral others at U.S. retail. Please tell me that it's already been reported.

Yeah, they have been reported already. Everything from that first wave has been found at US retail. We are now waiting for the second wave to surface which would have those new crash combiner characters.

Phew, I feel better now. Though I'll make sure to report anything else I find in the future ASAP, rather than wait several weeks.

Seibertronian chuckdawg1999 has provided us with 2 of his latest reviews for Robots in Disguise figures, this time in the form of Activator Combiners Strongarm with Trickout and Bumblebee with Stuntwing! These figures operate using Dark of the Moon era Stealth Force, with the vehicle mode exploding into battle mode, just this time the gimmick is minicon activated. These figures have also started to show up at retail as well. Check out Chuck's reviews below!

This set is an interesting package. Drawing upon elements once found in MASK, Strongarm is a simplified transformer that springs up into a monster truck type vehicle. Trickout, Strongarms companion, is a fun little truck that serves its purpose. Most collectors will pass on this set, but kids will love it and it makes a fun desk toy.

Bumblebee and Stuntwing make a nice little pair in the Combiner Force sub-line of RID. Bumblebee's transformation is less involved than Strongarm's although, the activated vehicle mode isn't as fun. Stuntwing is a fun little minicon and makes a great blaster.

Anyone else think Strongarm's legs are just oversized versions of her Legion class figure with different wheels?

too bad there's no way to get the minicon seperatley. looks to be the only appealing part of the set.

just like the cyberkey gimmick

Ultra Markus wrote:just like the cyberkey gimmick

More like the Armada Mini-Con gimmick, what with these being Mini-Cons that activate a feature, after all.

If anyone has chance (perhaps in a tru) I'd be interested to see a side by side photo or at least a report to find out of the new Warrior Starscream is a simple re-pack or a slight repaint.

Also I just realised how peculiar it is that if they can repack previous exclusives that they don't make something like a new Megatronus release (of the one with the battle mask face) same colour as before or not.

Oh and I got the Combiner Force Bumblebee One Step Changer he's not unlike the green slash packet One Step-Prime really transformations wise - his arms raise but his head doesn't move. and he almost totally lacks for paint.
Also the clip on wheels stick a lot too.

I'll see if I can find the Optimus too.

Wait...wha! this wave's(warrior class) been skipped in the UK?

Dont know about that. All I can tell you is that Legion Ratchet and legion Bisk are not in the same wave.

Hm. That's frustrating when Ratchet's the only figure from this line I really wanted, aside from maybe Battle Mask Windblade... hope he's put into a future wave.

I ended up having to get Warrior Ratchet off eBay. Took some hunting but I got him for a little over retail price.

Does anyone know if/when we are getting more RiD eps?
