They can't seem to stop going back and forth over the names can they?

Well, if they'd actually go forth in making a toy for Forth, they wouldn't have to keep going back to Back's toys.D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And once again, Back is labeled as "Decepticon Forth".

It's nice that they have as little more paint though.

My second thought -
Damn, I could go for some cheeseballs.

I have that sand colored one myself, it looks live a different color Undertone. I think that he's one of the best minicons, which might be why he's not available in a single pack. Him and Backtrack were the reasons I bought the 4 pack. It seems to me that the cyclones are my favorites because they are fun to transform and feel nice to hold in your hand. They also make a great pocket toy for when you want to fidget but don't want an overpriced cube/spinner.

Yes, tho not necessarily in those colors. The single release of Windstrike is red.
Beastbox's chest armor has broken on mine, and one fist armor piece has a stress mark inside the plastic. Ugh...

The Team Combiners contain 5 bots, each can be individually transformed in just a few steps.
And even more action awaits, when you use their Combiner powers to become a gigantic super robot.

Kind of similar. Difference is we get a decent cartoon to go with the toyline.

But they are pretty cheap - they only cost a bit more than a Activator combiner does after all.

Tbh, I prefer it that way. The toys are perfect for young'uns (my little brother loves his Beeside) and I find the show fun and entertaining. I focus my collecting on Generations toys, so I'm not overly concerned about RiD's toys. I did buy Ratchet a couple months ago and he's pretty cool, and I have little Legion Underbite who is freakin' adorable.

You know, it just hit me. History has repeated itself for that first bullet point (a bad cartoon with good toys), but with Combiner Wars instead of Energon.Nexus Knight wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The tables have turned this time.Nexus Knight wrote:Kurona wrote:Come to think of it, does this remind anyone of the Energon combiners?

You be the judge, we have a bunch of pics of them at the show

The mold reuse within the same team only solidifies the connection with Energon, except there's also minor retooling on the heads, and spoiler in Dragstrip's case. That's one step up

Thank Primus! Was afraid I'd be sacrificing the entire price of a TR leader to experiment with a new, wilder concept. I actually wonder if these are going to be like PCC 'biners since the limbs look a bit, well, awkward.

They will be as simple as the crash combiners we have right now, no need to compare them to anything else. And plus PCC only hanged from vehicle to limb, no robot mode, so we cant compare em.

Oh wow, that is a stark difference.
Too bad the limb bots aren't any better.

Just found at Target in CT. The packaging datestamp is 70161, the same as the plate-less version on the pegs with him.
It's a new addition to the plastic of his face.
The ring pattern on the scanning sticker is also different.

Fun figure!
When you attach Laserbeak, his side guns pop out.
Also, when you roll him in vehicle mode the side guns go back and forth. Very cool!
Not much in the articulation department but...he does have some knee and arm bends.
