New Galleries: Robots In Disguise 1-Step Ratchet (Robot Mode Revealed), Bisk, New Strongarm and more

Got to say, really impressed with the new Strongarm/Ratchet mold. Can't help but feel that Rachet would have vastly benefitted from even just one more paint app in vehicle mode, though...

The choice of apps they went with is undeniably clever - can't fault choosing areas that are seen in both mode - but it still looks too much like an finely detailed white brick for my liking.

Is it still a re-mold if every part is new and only the transformation is the same?

Nope.

...oh wait, that was probably rhetorical...

I say NO. Reusing a particular transformation scheme has been done plenty of time, especially with simpler toys. Such figures are not considered retools, otherwise almost every Micromaster would be related to one another.

Retools are purely physical in nature, as they involve changing or switching out already existing parts. Reusing transformations is part of the design phase on paper, no existing parts involved. That's the main difference.

The AoE One-Steps had less variety in transformations, having only 4 to 5 schemes. Yet we didn't consider them retools...

I really like that he has working pincers, which is something I would have loves Clampdown to have. And plus he has knee articulation.

On this Thursday evening, we are proud to bring to you Seibertron.com's latest galleries: Robots in Disguise Deployer Crazybolt and Minicon Hammer! Crazybolt is a new mold that shoots cyclone minicons from his mouth and transforms into a sweet and sexy muscle car. Hammer is a cyclone minicon that turns into a dragon. Hammer comes with his armor pieces and is a redeco of his individual release toy as well as his 4-pack toy. These guys come packed together and will be showing up on stores shelves very soon. So check out the galleries and let us know what you think of this new deployer, and as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries!

It's fairly poseable for what it is. The only issue I have is that you can't hide the "claw" deployer feature on it. If you could fold it back out of the way or something, it'd be a much better toy. Either way, it seems much better than the prior 3 deployers and the gimmick seems much less obtrusive than it does on Drift and Fracture.

Speaking of whom, I didn't do comparison shots with the other Hasbro Deployers because I ended up doing it with the the Takara Micronshooters since I hadn't posted Takara's Fracture and Drift galleries yet. I simply added group shots of all 4 of those together and will hopefully have all 10 of those galleries posted in the near future. Normally I save the big group shots for the Hasbro galleries and try to stick to "release date" mates or Hasbro comparisons with the Takara products, which is not necessarily a set rule, just something I try to stick to keep everyone flowing timewise.

I forgot about those guys. Maybe I'll bust them out for an upcoming Beast Wars Tuesdays set since I haven't done the Beast Wars Eggs yet either.
