Image of Transformers Robots in Disguise Mini-con Wave 3, Available to Ship Now

The next round of One-Step Changers from Transformers: Robots in Disguise haven't been left out either, as they also are now not only visible, but available now via Entertainment Earth. This is our first look at some of the new Decepticons in color, and also gives a glimpse at the new One-Step Bumblebee mode that transforms similarly to Age of Extinction's One-Step Drift, or from this same line's Sideswipe - except that Sideswipe appears to have a re-mold in this wave as well, to transform similarly to the One-Step Robots in Disguise Drift. Are your thoughts drifting yet?



Sound off below if you're looking forward to these new Robots in Disguise toys, which are hitting fast and furious as we approach the holiday season.

Dunno if it was, but if we get a minicon chainsaw, i will buy it. i love minicon weapons!

So, am I the only one who notices Ratchet in the characters list on the RiD App or did we already cover that at some point?



Edit: Nevermind, I thought there was a Starter model for him in the game that would more closely resemble an in-show design, but it's just the legion. Oh well. Did we have any kind of artwork of Ratchet prior, then?

Ah... More Bumblebees and Sideswipes. Oh, goodie...

"Forth"?
.... oh, Back and Forth. Heh.


I really hope Swelter actually looks like he's got fire flowing thru him, i.e. clear plastic joints and a little flame that pops onto his noggin.

Going by the pics, lizards of some sort?

I thought the game would show you a preview of both forms for each character at one point but I can't get it to do it now.

It looks like the only clear plastic are his feet, and it also seems like he's a repaint of divebomb so unless they give him new plastic upgrades he's just going to have the battle mask

The Arms Micron Jida also turns into a chainsaw.

A double Chainsaw even.

I tend to keep my Arms Micron Pussy cats in catskin rug (shield) or cat modes though.

I just took a closer look at the news and I kinda want that one-step Springload! Looks nice!

He's the only one step figure I plan on getting. He looks good and it suits the character

It really does! Just maybe he will be mine

PrymeStriker wrote: Did we have any kind of artwork of Ratchet prior, then?

Technically he is the same as Prime Ratchet so there is a ton of artwork for him there and probably in the RID comics which feature the older cast. The news was more about how the app hints at new toys but we already know he's coming out. I had a link in the article to the NYCC reveals he was part of.

I just got it too! Also, there is precedence for that nice effect to give flames:

Okay, you clearly stated that Crazybolt is based on some kind of lizard. But what kind of lizard to be exactly? Can you please at least provide us some image of what Crazybolt's vehicle mode be like before he makes his debut?

For Primus' sake man, he just said all you can see is the bot mode, and it is a bad game image, not a high quality concept art or something. We do not know. We will need to see what happens later on. and just because he is in the game does not mean he will be in the show, same with the comics and toyline, As I have mentioned before

TWO new toys for Quillfire now? I'm impressed yet confused as to whether that means anything. I do love the little anarchist maniac, so I hope he gets bumped up to a regular on the show.

Also, good to see Springload getting toy form. Can't get a good look, but as long as it's decent I'd pick it up. One step seems like an appropriate size for the delusional loon.

Guess it's time to start hunting Amazon

You didn't really prove him wrong you just posted something that hasn't been seen yet. He didn't say there was no concept art he said that the particular image we were looking at wasn't concept art.

He did say

And my post was to prove otherwise.

Really wish Entertainment Earth did assortments that were just the new figures. Every case has at least two carry overs. Look at the Warrior case, we have Prime, Strongarm, and Bumblebee from wave 1; with a redco Prime and Bee as part of the new figures.

I thought this was just the way the waves/cases are, bbts has carry overs too

Thank you for posting something like this: Proof of something. While it really does not give us a clean image (since it is all story board stuff like that) It does show that he may be in the show if the 204 really does mean season 2 episode 4.

They do but BBTS usually offers a set of just the new figures. Then again there's been a few instances where they haven't offered that, probably don't want to get stuck with certain figures.

THEY MADE A 1-STEP SPRINGLOAD

I CAN DIE HAPPY NOW

TheAmazingBrave wrote:THEY MADE A 1-STEP SPRINGLOAD

A true "Springload" of fun eh?

I do really look forward to him too. With that kind of name, a one-step truly does fit the character

I am surprised that springload is news to quite a few since we knew about that one step in october: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... per/34112/

Haha, I certainly like to let people know what I think In all honesty though, RiD seems to be heating up toy wise. We getting some cool stuff!

sorry

Is Hasbro actually starting to "Care" a little bit about some aspect of RID that isn't a 3 Step-Changer ?

For a while there all we got was yet another 3 Step changer.. at least the Minicons and the one-steps give some appearance of there being an intention to continue the toyline.

Oh and as to the point Quillfire and Springload seeming new - well if I had seen them before it was so lo res It didn't stick in my mind seeing the in-package and a slightly bigger grey scale than I had before does cement it in my mid as a thing that exists.

I would be curious to see for sure if Sideswipe is a new mould or not too - I can't see the image well enough to tell - seems possible though if Bee is a Drift style remould that he might be a remould too.

Why can't we get 1 step changers in the Chug line. I'd love some Scout size cars in the G1 style instead of the stylised movie and rid lines.

Windsweeper wrote:Why can't we get 1 step changers in the Chug line. I'd love some Scout size cars in the G1 style instead of the stylised movie and rid lines.

That should never happen thats a terrible idea I don't want to have less legend, deluxes, voyagers, and Leader class figures made because of crappy kid toys just trust me it shouldn't happen....

Because then fans would threaten Hasbro to never ever buy a tf again.

Also RAR, Hasbro said from the get go that the first year of RID was to get the autobots out first and attract the kids to the line (by clearly setting age ranges when speaking in interviews and such). They said the rest would come in after that and we are seeing it now that the line is more established and has some footing amongst the younger kids. Now they can release more decepticons and new fun stuff that we can all enjoy.

We're not their target market. They're primarily a distributor first, sell to folks like us second. I mean, just look at that website, I don't think it's been updated since 1999

Are you talking about BBTS? I respectively disagree. As long as I've shopped there, it's been all about us collectors. I do not think they do any distribution. (And sure, the site looks dated. But I can find stuff there! I would prefer function over visual aesthetics any day.)

No, they were talking about entertainment earth. But yeah I got confused too.

Make that 3 and I was part of the conversation. Lately BBTS has just sold cases without doing a set, when they do a set the figures are usually priced higher since they know they're going to get stuck with extras.

For what it's worth ToyWiz is scalping some of the new one-step and legion figures on Amazon. $20 for Windblade, all I can do is shake my head.

Quick question: I have the ability to get deployers Drift, Slipstream and Jetstorm for a total of $21.23 with free shipping. is it worth it?

If you need your figure to have articulation of any kind in order to enjoy it, then no deal is worth that figure. That is why I will never buy it.

I'm not huge on articulation. Plus it's the only way to get the minicons, and I do want the minis

That IS a selling point, albiet a frustrating one. Having the same issue with Airazor.

Worst case, you could probably find Warrior Drift for cheap later in you so wanted.

Isn't there a blue Jetstorm coming in the next wave?

Yup, he comes with the blue Deployer Drift.

I already have the warrior Drift, it's the minicons that i really want (Drift would basically be a bonus)

And Cobs, there is a Slipstream coming out in blue, but Drift comes with Jetstorm...

Sounds like you have only one recourse. Shame they can't come down a little on the price point.

That is the 15% discounted price for the 2 minis and Drift unfortunately. I really wish they would release Jetstorm by himself rather than just with Drift

Oh. Bummer. My memory assumed it was Jetstorm. So we are getting repaints of minicons already? I might just "pretend" he's Jetstorm.

Gah, I just want the 2 minicons! Just release them separate from Drift! (That pretend idea is actually a pretty good one)

What color is Jetstorm? Black? I think spray paint comes in black.
