New Galleries: Robots In Disguise Gold Armor Grimlock, Night Ops Bumblebee, and 1-Step Optimus Prime

I'm ok with this. These looks fairly decent

I wonder if Takara is going to do more of a proper gold on him...

I like that you can make him a psuedo dino headed monster too...


Gold Armor Grimlock

Our latest offering for the Seibertron.com high-quality toy galleries comes from the Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure line, and their multipack box sets. Specifically, we're looking at the TAV VS03 Phantomjaw and Strongarm set, featuring redecos of the Steeljaw and Strongarm figures, which you can find, respectively, here and here.

Transformers Adventures Phantomjaw










Transformers Adventures Strongarm

They look gorgeous

Phantomjaw is simply awesome.

The basic Steeljaw figure while good on it's own is so much better in these colors. So glad I skipped the standard release for this pack.

I could do without the multicolor scan logos though....

Agreed. That paint job is badass

Seibertron.com is proud to present our newest toy galleries, this time featuring the 2015 RID (Robots In Disguise) cartoon characters!

New Galleries: Minicon Deployers Fracture with Airazor and Drift with Jetstorm

Drift, the Samurai and Fracture, the...well, random nasty Decepticon (voiced by none other than Kevin Pollak!) compete head to head with their Mini-Con partners in tow. Each bot is dangerous on their own, but deadly when together!

The Deployer figures do fully transform from robot mode to vehicle and back, although it tends to be heavily simplified and is built around the launcher and it's gimmick. What gimmick, you ask? Well deployment of the Mini-Cons, of course!

In vehicle mode, Drift launches Jetstorm out of the nose of his car form to send him blazing (literally, I might add!) into battle! Because of this, Drift's car mode tends to suffer visually, where as Fracture wins this round because of his altmode being that of a hoverbike, he comes with a sidecar that doubles as his deployment launcher!

While the articulation and transformations are simplified, it is the first Deluxe Class sized Fracture we've received in the toyline, so far and much like Drift, you have to buy him to obtain the Mini-Con he's partnered with. (They're worth it. Fun little buggers!)

That's not all! Collect the entire waves of Mini-Cons for form Energon beasts using their translucent armor pieces! Wave 1 creates what seems to be an Energon tiger, while bits of wave 1 and most of the armor from wave 2 creates a shark! Who knows what wave 3 has in store, but it's going to be fun to see! (I personally cannot wait. These are fun little gadgets, both the Deployers and the Mini-Cons. Throw in the extra of Energon build a figure and you're in for a treat!)

Enough from me, on with the show! Click on any of the images below to be taken to each figure's respective gallery:

I will be sad if this is the only Warrior-scale Fracture we get. I love the character and wish he had a better toy. I like the character so much I'd go out and buy this in a heartbeat if I could remove the deployer attachment without having to use tools.

As is, saddened by missed opportunity.

Bounty hunter.

Then again, so too was Drift a bounty hunter as well.

It really is. I thought both Drifts should have tabs on his arms for Mini-Cons. I mean really, that's basically how Slipstream and Jetstorm travel. Same with Airazor and Divebomb. With Fracture that might be slightly harder to pull off though 'cause of the way they designed him. But with the Drifts? No excuse. Its a pair of small tabs on his fore-arms, that look to me like they end up as his car doors. At least on the deluxe figure.

I heard somewhere that any Mini-Con is compatible with either deployer, can any verify that?
