He does indeed appear to still be an ambulance

speaking of Ratchet....i wonder if he's gonna appear on the show



i'm loving the look of that Warrior Bisk, i may pick him up

That doesn't bother me. The wind screen look does look cool. But I guess those scannable stickers are to blaim for that.Fires_Of_Inferno wrote:You know, I've never thought to ask this before, but how come a lot of the RiD characters have the exact same chest design?

I suppose he gets a role like Jazz. He will join the Autobots for a few episodes and Fixit will be his little fan-boy like Sideswipe was for Jazz.Stuartmaximus wrote:well...i'll hold off on him til i see if Takara can sort out more paint apps & a light bar!

Warrior Bisk is incredibly cool. The TR line is getting my main autobot attention, and this line is getting my main con attention. they look so cool! Scorponok, Bisk, Thunderhoof, Quillfire, Crazybolt, they are all on the list to get. And with the way things are going, not to mention the hint at an "old friend" returning in the season 2 finale, I'm pretty certain Ratchet is coming back

I didnt think of the scannable stickers. Though that cant be all of it since on smaller figures, it ends up in other places than the chest. Also, fewer have this type a chest than one may think. Case in point, here are a slew of decepticons that dont:



But for those that do, what I thought about the design was that the windshield chests gave the designs a sense of continuity to the Transformers brand as it goes in such a different direction with these beastly robot modes. The designs are out there (werewolves, giant lobsters ect) but that chest gives them the remnant of the fact that they are Cybertronian in origin, that they are Transformers. It grounds the design. I especially love it when it turns out to be a real chest rather than a fake piece. Hence why I love that Steeljaw mold.
Also, isnt it fun how the fact that fewer people care about these toys actually makes these botcon events more fun because no one spoils their reveal in advance?

It was really awesome. I did not see Bisk or Ratchet coming and it is amazing

I dont know. None of my local stores have even gotten that third wave of minicons yet, the one that comes before the weapons.
I think we will get the individually packed weapon minicons in the summer at the earliest

They have in the past removed it only to reintroduce it as part of a Movie line - so if they are doing that I'd understand.
But there still is lots of Decepticons (in particular) I'd have liked to see in that scale.
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on April 12th, 2016 @ 1:31pm CDT
And I agree about the minicons. I have only seen wave 1 and 2 and that first 4-pack. I really want to see wave 4 so I can get the individual Jetstorm and Ransack so (except for Airazor) I have the main 3 minicon teams (and I use Overloads team very loosely as main)

I dont know why you are still wondering that since Hasbro has shown them at events with all the other classes.
