I kind of want soundwave just for laserbeak, my son already has the warrior soundwave, which I'm playing with too much.

Maybe he can rest on warrior soundwave and I can just toss the unarticulated soundwave in a box.

That unarticulated Soundwave has articulated elbows!! :lol:

Seriously though..any additional articulation? Sideways/rotating shoulders? Knees? ANYTHING ELSE?! :-(

Same, I found part of the wave at Toys R Us 2 days ago and the whole wave at Target. Only really wanted Soundwave since I was buying a bunch of Lego Star Wars stuff too, but I got to pick between two and one had a much better paint job than the other.

Me too
except i ordered mine from TRU
on sale

so very, very lovely.

Blurr (NOT) and Soundwave especially!
very cool!

i even dig Blastdude.
my imagination plays him as a former/rebel student of Bludgeon
his evil, former, sensei.

all so very cool.

How about you buy that unarticulated soundwave and trade it with your kid for the warrior soundwave (and keep the laserbeak).

Word up.

I saw him at Walmart the other day when I picked up Soundwave, and I was soooooooo close to buying him. Let's hope I don't regret it later.

Why not just buy him now? I know we arent made of money but he wasnt that expensive right?I mean when comparing to the MSRP of some TLK figures that are partly just redecos of older figs, Hasbro gives us this nice new mold of Blurr which is the first retail release of an articulated Rescue Bots character for a nice affordable price point. I say jump on it

I know I will if I find him.

Glad you picked up Soundwave ;)^

Fellow Seibertronian Maximal Rainmaker has sent us a sighting of the Dickie Toys licensed Transformers: Robots in Disguise set of figures, spotted at a Target in Canberra, Australia. They're two-packed, non-transforming, die-cast vehicles, three sets in total: Optimus Prime with Strongarm, Bumblebee with Steeljaw and Optimus Prime with Sideswipe. Check them out below!

The animalistic Decepticons were one of the best parts of this show and toyline. I hope the G1/Prime heavy look and feel of the recent villains is only temporary!

So if you want Sideswipe and Strongarm, you gotta accept that you are getting 2 Primes? Bummer.

But these look really awesome. despite not being officially licensed vehicles, they are incredibly fun to look at, and they are sweet.

Eeeh... to be honest, I kind of think this'll be the last 'wave' of sorts of RiD. It's been going on for a few years now and generally main Transformers shows (and their toyline) end around this point to make way for a new one. Could be wrong, but it just sorta feels like this is the last hurrah.

Re: In-Package Images of Transformers Robots in Disguise Activator Soundwave & Optimus Prime (1877498)
Posted by RAR on April 26th, 2017 @ 5:38pm CDT

I see no reason to stop - they have Movies to hype and no clear idea of what to replace it with - just keep making mini-seasons of the show - now it's finally getting some fans - it would be silly to start over when RID was super slow burn.

They could slot in a new TV show in a hurry if they find there is a delay in the Movie releases - but otherwise - why bother replacing it.. unless it's with another sequel - that would work too.

Personally I'd welcome a toyline and show very much like the cancelled or Chinese only Prime Style Videogames from 5 years or so ago.

Seibertronian forum admin Burn has let us know that the Ozformers Facebook page has posted a new sighting, this time in the form of Crash Combiner Skyhammer! Skyhammer was sighted at a Kmart and a Toymate for $19. If this guy interests you and you live in Australia, head on out and start hunting him down!

Continuing on with a nice Sunday stroll down Transformers Reviews Lane, we bring to you 3 new video reviews from usual suspect Chefatron showing off some new Robots in Disguise Combiner Force figures. The 3 figures reviewed here are Legion Cyclonus, who has a toy similar to legion Starscream; Legion Heatseeker, who is a new mold that transforms similar to Sideswipe but with a more Bulkhead feel; and Activator Combiner Soundwave with Laserbeak, both of whom are new molds. Check out the reviews below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

I am still amazed that Hasbro or Takaratomy hasn't rereleased the BH predacons as RID decepticons as toy only characters to fill out the ranks on the toys and make a quick buck without making new molds

So...

A blue SUV Decepticon with limited articulation due to being based around a gimmick; said gimmick being flip-out weaponry that's mounted on the back of the vehicle mode and on either side of the head in robot mode.

Any word on if anyone on Shapeways is making a replacement Crankcase head? :lol:

We have a first sighting for you all, of Legion Blurr in the US. It was found at Meijer in Indianapolis for $5.99 by TF fan Flexx Art. Blurr is part of the second wave of the Combiner Force subline which makes it the 9th wave of Legion figures in Robots in Disguise. None of the other legions he is packed with are new since they are rereleases of Optimus Prime, Bisk and Bumblebee. All are evenly packed in the case.
