A few months ago, an image from an Italian retailer hinted at a Sideswipe that could transform in 3 steps, leading us to believe that a Hyperchange Sideswipe was coming soon. A new listing from Iceland's Toysrus website now exists for TRANSFORMERS Hyper Change Hero Figure Sideswipe. However, there are no images of the product (same with Steeljaw who we know is a reality).

Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all news regarding upcoming Robtos in Disguise toys.

Thunderhoof looks like a yard rake. I could literally use that in my garden.

I almost picked Fixit as a stand in for a IDW More than Meets the Eye Rung. He would need legs though.... and hands..... and glasses.

He has. That's why there's only one of him in this case, and more of the newer ones. The news relates to the 2 new serial numbers, not fixit.

Can anyone tell which movieverse Optimus toy that placeholder image comes from? It looks like an Optimus, but it's too skewed for me to identify. Never mind, it's the ROTF Leader.

I've aquired warrior class Prime and Drift. Prime is a complete turd, and Drift is okay. I collect Primes so I felt compelled to get him, and Drift looks cool. Drift will probally go to my son. Lesson learned and I'll be avoiding this line.

UK distributor WindDesigns has a listing up for a new RID roleplay toy. Get ready for this, it's a Bumblebee gun.

This converting BUMBLBEE blaster changes to a battle-ready vehicle in one quick step. Roll out in vehicle mode, or convert to blaster mode and take the fight to the DECEPTICONS — you can launch missiles in both modes.

Of course you have. Check out below the Bumblbee (sic) blaster, via online UK retailer Wind Designs. Pew pew vroom vroom.

At that age he should already have a bb gun...

Oh my bad, that was the 80s. Today's parents treat 10 year old boys like 5 year old girls. I could never be a parent in today's society. For sure I would go to jail for letting my kid be cool.

Nowadays, in the USA, it's a freaking DEATH SENTENCE to let your kid play outside with a toy gun that just barely look realistic. Especially if the kid behaves like a normal kid, AKA like an idiot. And if your kid is black.

The "Nerf" style Transformers guns were huge and much cooler. This is just a handgun sized toy that shoots traditional Transformers missiles. Probably a voyager or ultra sized vehicle mode.

If it transformed into robot AND car AND the gun...I would have bought one for myself.

ARM-Laserbeak is still better than this.

Nothing says Transformers or Bumblebee more then shooting other people with a car gun.

Now Bumblebee represents shooting other people what a great role model!

I finally got around to scanning stuff in to the app. Pretty neat what they did. A little bummed the Tiny Titan cards are just rewards, but understandable. Guess I'm gonna have to fork over energon cubes for the Titan hero versions, or just scan them in at the store so I don't have to buy those horrible things!

Or, and this might be crazy, go without? I'm sure the game works fine. Personally I had a very bad experience with a mobile game so I stay away from those things with a 10 foot pole.

Hoppy Sunday robot fans! If you're part of a culture that celebrates today with eggs and baskets and hunting for the two, there may be a chance for a shellformer (heh) over at KMart - the ones in the photo below, specifically, are from Norridge, IL (just off Harlem), and are priced at 15.99 each for both the Transformers: Robots in Disguise and My Little Pony baskets, reports site owner Seibertron himself! Chance for a last minute hiding place filler?

Really? If I knew this was news worthy, I would've reported this a week ago -_-. (With that said, I still find it amusing that the show already has a licensed Easter basket.)

These started showing up the day after Valentine's. Walmart has similar baskets, but smaller. You'd think they'd include a cheap fast food level figure in these instead of all generic stuff with images on them, being based on toy licenses and all. Couldn't even be bothered to include proper candy for the price.

Ditto. These suckers showed up about two weeks ago at my Wal-Mart. Besides, no knock-offs, not interested. Anybody miss the days when a shoddy Devastator KO came out at Easter or Christmas?

Agreed. Pre-wrapped Easter baskets are traditionally supposed to be for TF knock-offs, which offer way more play value than these frisbees and yo-yos. Primus, how I wish I'd gotten the Transmetal Primal and Megs basket years ago, before the crackdowns.

I've seen a few newly KOed faces in baskets this year though, mostly in CVS and Dollar General (I think). The Hardtop and Superion-Maximus A-10 mold in one Unicron Trilogy themed basket, and a Bayniverse legend Ratchet in another. Nothing really worth bothering with though, not like 10 years ago with all them gestalt teams. And now the CW toys are too big to fit a whole team in a basket even if they were shrunk a bit, so that won't be happening with them, and Hasbro reaps another minor benefit of finally giving us combiners the size they should've grown to long ago!

"Taffy candy"? Isn't that a bit redundant? All taffy is candy, as far as I know.

Wow, look at that sweet Bumblebee frisbee. I'm so jelly of whichever kiddy got this today.

I'm being a bit silly, but in serious, happy Easter everyone.

Even as a naive 8yo kid, I would be really, really disapointed by either of these baskets. The Pony one should have at least include a blind bag pony and the TF one should have at least include a minicon.

I know what you mean. I miss the ones that had generic Dinobots or Beast Wars figures in them. About 10 years ago I got a basket from Kmart with a very large KO Sky Garry in it. I haven't seen anything nearly as cool as that since.

If you're still looking for some of Takara Tomy's offbeat filler characters, AmiAmi has a fresh stock of them for 1,880jpy (US$15.80) each. This is includes the harder to find Roadblock, Swoop, and Snarl. They probably won't last long at what's basically Hasbro prices so good luck!

All you need is a decent picture of the 'code ring' , from a Seibertron.com galley for example, on a second device or computer screen and it will still scan to unlock in the game. Yeah it's "cheating" but having to re-scan the 'code ring' again when the character 'goes back to Cybertron' after about a day is stupid.
