But actually it does seem to mean exactly what I was joking about it meaning*; Trans-vestments to change or Transform clothing - the implication in English is with gender bending *(Transvestism) - but the Italian word means the literally the same to 'change vestments' (clothes) it's just the implication is one of disguise and not implicitly cross-dressing.

If however it could be used to imply that* I'd have to leave to native Italian speakers to judge.

Nah, that's just etymology, not meaning.

And I am native Italian (and English), it would never work in that sense. Trust me.

Back on topic!

Here they're all but gone, I can't even find them on Clearance anywhere. I was lucky to get Beastbox for my Dokuronin (aka Blastwave)

Woah, it's weird to see a Legends class tower over something like that...

Just goes to show how different the old Legends (now Legion) Class is from the new Legends Class.

When we got all the Beast wars toys in the UK they had Bio-combat being the main logos all the time. But seeing it's got local text on that should TF RID be in the text too. Japan do have Transformers in english then they have masterforce or super god form warriors in japan text.

TF RID is the brand name. Brand names have stopped being localised, for the most part.
The Italian text just says: surprises inside, milk chocolate.

With March Madness upon us, it seems Transformers has decided to get in on the fun! A new Robots in Disguise commercial was shown off on their Facebook feed, and features Crash Combiners Sideswipe and Bumblebee, Activator Combiner Strongarm, and Warrior Soundwave doing some fun stuff with the sport of Basketball. Check out the video below!

... damn. That Warrior Soundwave looks too good... :michaelbay:

News Credits: 437 · by **Sabrblade** » Tue Mar 14, 2017 2:14 pm

That sure sounded like a male voice saying "Whoa!" when Strongarm hit the billboard and bounced backward from it.

Has anyone got a link to the videos that does not involve Facebook ?
(perhaps the seibertron account can mirror them?)

Also did this get missed out - I don't recall it being linked too before :

Horridly applied marker at that.

Also, I recognize that Transformers: Prime score anywhere, 0:27.

Ah...I miss TFP. I wish Netflix would make a Transformers series for adults.

Or Studio Trigger.

Isn't he the cutest fwoggywoggy? Yes he is, yes he is

I should stop passing on him... maybe make him a spokesfrog for thread derailing

He's pretty great. I put him on that top tier of awesome Decepticons from the line. His bot mode has that great evil brooding posture to it. The parts formy nature of his pincers is strange, but they don't detach, and in the end it works well and makes for an interesting transformation.
Plus he comes with that dope scimitar! ;)^

If you're going to use him as a thread dereailer, at least let me take a better picture! That guy was frikkin' bigfoot the day I took that pic. My phone just couldn't focus no matter what.

Also, stop passing on him. He is worth every penny

Me too - and Bisk and Scatterspike - I don't know yet what the case stuffers are for the Thermidor/Bludgeon wave - but I suspect there is at least a chance some of the wave might show up - if only by judging what Toyfair Australia had on their displays.

When BBTS or someone puts that case pre-order up I guess I'll know but as is I think I may have to just order them on Amazon (reluctantly) or import them some other way - I had the same problem with not being able to get half of the Predacons Rising or Clash of the Transformers stuff either.

I'm especially irked by not having that black and red Optimus warrior class or the alternative Megatronus & Grey/blue sideswipe.
