Directly from the floor at San Diego Comic Con 2017, site owner Seibertron is providing us images of the display area at the Hasbro booth where they had a nice display of Transformers Robots In Disguise Toys. What we can see for now are some previously revealed toys such as the Bumblebee, Menasor and Galvatronus Combiners and one new Legion reveal: Twinferno. It is written that Legion Twinferno will be in Wave 3 2017, along with Cyclonus and Heatseeker.

We have images of the display below and you can reach the full gallery of said display by clicking any image.

These are only the initial images, of course, expect the full Seibertron.com treatment as the event continues with actual reveals across the weekend, with the Hasbro Breakfast Press event Thursday morning, panel coverage on Friday and Saturday, and follow-ups with official images and more!

Y'know, I wasn't feeling Deluxe RID Twinferno, but I definitely think I'll spring for the legend one. Nice little pocket-money bot who looks pretty good. :D

Good to see that we finally have a toy of Saberhorn, even if it is just the bottom half of a Crash Combiner. I wonder if they'll bring back Saberhorn and Bisk to have this Combiner in the show?

This new video features Combiner Force Ultra Bee and Menasor having a wall climbing competition. It's a pretty cool stop motion video. Have a look and let us know what you think!

The big toys of the year for Robots in Disguise have finally reached mass retail with both Ultra Bee and Menasor being found at Toysrus by both Scottimus Prime at the Lake Grove store in Long Island and by dahpadre at the Orland Park store in Illinois. These are two simplified combiners, similar to the cracsh combiner in terms of the triple changing combponent but made up of more members. Galvatronus is expected to come out later this year. These are $29.99 each.

Dunno if already been reported but I saw that Menasor at Toys R Us Cambridge, UK last week.
You can sorta see it at the bottom of this blurry pic of RC Sqweeks I took. Clearly I was more interested in Sqweeks but yeah I did spot the menasor :P

Thanks to Amazon UK, we have a slightly unusual new listing: from Little RockTM, we are treated to looks at Transformers Bouncing Ball Heads! Priced at £11.95 for a set of eight, the contents of this package feature posterboys Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Starscream, Grimlock, Shockwave, and a pair of Barricades to finish it off. The heads are mounted on small little bodies when not on their small, cute, bouncy destructive rampage. The images of these small fellas can be seen below, and clicking on any of the images will take you to their order page!

Ok, now I feel I should get Beeside so I can crash combine all of the team Bee members. Primelock is a cool name and a cool looking figure. Also will definitely get Dragbreak now. These Crash combiners are some of my favorite things.

Also, Saberclaw may be the best thing I have ever seen or heard of.

Really excited for the team combiners still. Galvatronus looks really cool to go with the other 2.

Will get both the warrior and legion Twinferno. That guy looks cool.

Too bad there were no new warrior reveals though

If you like these toys, then you will love dragbreak. great mix of colours and its the only toy to really use that flap as part of its aesthetic in vehicle mode (where it becomes the racecar spoiler).

I am also sad about no warrior reveals.

We have a strange piece of news today coming from yours truly! PEZ has apparently released a new variety of their famous candy dispenser, called Connectibles! These feature pieces of a character to turn your tiny sweet station into an action figure, of sorts! One of the characters PEZ has released is Bumblebee from Robots in Disguise, and his Connectible pack comes with a dispenser, candy, a chest piece, two arms, and a sword! He was found at Scrumptious Ice Cream Shop in Longmont, Colorado!

I've fiddled with my battle pack Strongarm, despite the manual and stock photos telling me to put the arm armor shark face facing forward, I find they peg in better facing back.

Love the toy, just needs a lot of paint apps.

Thanks to a post on Ozformers, we have news that the new wave of Robots in Disguise: Combiner Force has been found at Australian retail! Bludgeon was sighted at Toyworld, though the rest of his wave was already gone by the time he was sighted. With this sighting in mind, head on out to your Australian retail stores and hunt down these new figures!

Nice :D only really into Twinferno and Thermidor tho but I'll take a bludgeon since RID has dashed my hopes of a toon accurate Blastwave. Also is Twinferno a new character here or is he supposed to be a Doublecross redesign?

A bit of both, given how universes work in Transformers. "Twinferno" is the new name for Doublecross in any given line, due Hasbro being unable to obtain the legal rights, or trademark, to the name. No big loss, the new name is better than the old one, a rarity.

The wave he's in is still available at my local Walmarts, but the one after it is moving in fast.

Thanks to finding the decepticon island showdown set discounted, I now have my first warriors, Bumblebee and Steeljaw.
I definitely like Bumblebee more, better articulated and stable.
Steeljaw, I really want to love him, but I think the arms are limited and the way the feet are made sucks. I do like how he looks though.

So my Ultra Bee and Menasor arrived today. Dang, I love these figures. There are some neat tricks in Bee and Motormaster, and I love Grimlock. They may only move at the shoulders, but they are really cool. Neat little $24 figures that I do not mind at all.

I love how Bee's robot head goes inside his combiner head. that seems to be a popular things nowadays, see TLK Infernocus :lol:

I think between them, Ultra Bee is my favorite. The 4 bot combining thing is really unique and I love it. The figures themselves are cool for the simple things that they are.

Those familiar with the Robots in Disguise line are well aware that it keeps repackaging previously released toys to bring variety to shelves and keep the popular characters around. This is very similar to the days of G1 where the same toys would keep being rereleased to answer the demand of any new fan or parent who would discover the toyline and show. Wave 11 of the Warrior Class was the one with Twinferno, Bludgeon and Thermidor and now, thanks to a listing from Entertainment Earth, we know of the wave coming after that, wave 12. It is entirely made of rereleases but of only 1 character per case, which will help some fans get toys that they might have missed before. Below is a content of the all the rereleased Robots in Disguise toys making up wave 12. This is said to come out in September, so probably part of the Back to School restock we sometimes see in toy aisles.

Case of 8 individually packaged figures includes:
1x TRA RID WARRIOR BUMBLEBEE
1x TRA RID WARRIOR GRIMLOCK
1x TRA RID WARRIOR STRONGARM
1x TRA RID WARR POWER SURGE OPTIMUS PRIME
1x TRA RID WARRIOR STARSCREAM
1x TRA RID WARRIOR WINDBLADE
1x TRA RID WARRIOR SOUNDWAVE
1x TRA RID WARRIOR AUTOBOT TWINFERNO

All the shelf space for RID has vanished when TESCO got some in (in some places in the UK) they were gone in moments leaving empty shelves again.

Tesco is weird they have a shelf space for Transformers that is always empty around here. even when they are hugely over priced they still seem to clear quickly.

---------------

1x TRA RID WARRIOR BUMBLEBEE
1x TRA RID WARRIOR GRIMLOCK
1x TRA RID WARRIOR STRONGARM
1x TRA RID WARR POWER SURGE OPTIMUS PRIME
1x TRA RID WARRIOR STARSCREAM
1x TRA RID WARRIOR WINDBLADE
1x TRA RID WARRIOR SOUNDWAVE
1x TRA RID WARRIOR AUTOBOT TWINFERNO


I suppose Bumblebee has not been around much for a while now.

A Grimlock with Battlemask (but in green) or a Windblade with the new head but the old colours - would have been more use perhaps.

I'm sick to death of seeing Strongarm though - she's very over-supplied - where is Jazz, Scatterspike, Bisk & Ratchet ? Heck where is Steeljaw.

[yes I know there is a twin pack]

The UK need Bisk, Ratchet & Scatterspike - I suspect they don't have the push in the UK to pester the head office for a wave with them in - or they might be using the Stunticon excuse again about not being able to release them due to packaging.... as they'd need to repack them in Combiner Force packets and get them safety tested.

But they had to make new boxes for Strongarm, Grimlock, Bumblebee and others.

I think a better way to spend their time would be to pop in a few sandy deco versions - or versions with battle mask heads. Or even re-releasing drift with the Japanese head.

Grimlock, Windblade and Jazz already have an alternative head - why don't they use them.
If Bee was released again with a battle mask head i'd buy him again.
Also if they must keep re-releasing Strongarm they could at least make here in the reverse colour deco or in Black & white. even if they don't want to release her with a new head.

Also since the toys have got more expensive since they 1st came out they could probably add a bit more paint back too..

Seems like a waste of sale potential to me to at the very least not re-release Jazz & Ratchet or consider using the alternative heads - where they are available.

And this is why the new stuff is so hard to find, they ship out more of the stuff thats already clogging shelves and include one single new guy. I get trying to keep the popular characters on shelves but cut it back a bit or do variations, id rather see a repaint than a straight up repack. Glad im not an RiD fan, its hard enough trying to beat scalpers and other collectors but having to do that with only 1 new figure per case doesnt sound fun.

Having to split the Transfomers area three ways (RID, TR, TLK) certainly can't help.

BTW, is anyone that wants a Grimlock not able to find one by now. I swear that guy's worse than most line's Bumblebee. Least I waited for the "gold"/g1 redeco...

We now have proof that has absolutely nothing to do with it. If stores wanted to stock the shelves, they could. It's just toy products like any other, all part of a hasbro order. If anyone has doubts, check these pics of consistently stocked shelves from various stores in my area including the latest toys for all 3 lines:

Same here in Ireland, what doesn't help in Tesco is that hardly of the shops sell the same products or waves. For example the Tesco in Tramore (a seaside town) got in the RID wave with Soundwave and Blurr, but not of the four Tesco's in Waterford (A large City) ever got them in. Similarly 1 Tesco was selling the wave 2 TR Legends but no other Tesco around the country that I have been to was selling them or any TR toys.

Coming from a recent Amazon Listing, we now have the first official images of Transformers Robots In Disguise One Step Soundwave! This is Soundwave's third entry into the RID toy sphere, following his Warrior class and Activator Class figures. The images, from a listing still showing the toy as unavailable, show off his robot mode, vehicle mode, and packaging.
Check them out mirrored below, and tell us if you'll be adding this incarnation of Soundwave to your collection.

We now have proof that has absolutely nothing to do with it. If stores wanted to stock the shelves, they could. It's just toy products like any other, all part of a hasbro order. If anyone has doubts, check these pics of consistently stocked shelves from various stores in my area including the latest toys for all 3 lines:

I must still protest this. There are very few instances where this has proven to be true, and most of them come from Canada or a major city where a TFW guy takes pictures for sightings. There may be proof, but for 90%+ of us, it is no where close to being true

The question was never whether it would look like this for all of us, it was just whether it could work or not. So all you need is one example to see that it is probable and that the problem does not lie in the fact that its 3 lines occupying one brand's shelf space.

And we dont only have one example, we have an entire north american country with the same stores as the US showing its possible as well as other stores in the US in certain areas. If handling 3 lines was truly impossible, then you would have no examples, let alone all that has been shown. So that means that having to stock 3 lines is not the main factor. Let me ask you people this, were your walmarts and TRUs well stocked when there were only 2 lines? So before the movie line? was everything up to date all the time for those 2 lines? If not, then that means there was mismanagement (or lack of dedicated support) on their part all along and adding a third line does not factor into any distribution woes.

I dont remember anyone in the US saying in january that their stores were well stocked with all of TR wave 3, a time before we had the movie line and only had two lines to deal with. I instead remember heavy frustration and worry that toys might never come or waves might be skipped. So same as usual. Since this was before a third line factored into anything, then that means having 3 lines was not related and is not related. The stores that were well stocked and managed continue to be so and the ones that weren't continue to suck. I have never seen anything to suggest otherwise.

By the way, here are some pictures of the Team Combiners that I picked up. They are both really cool and it is hard to place one over the other; they're both really fun! Also, the yellow on Bee is far less bright in person, it looks much better

There seems to be the impression that stores in my area have trouble selling multiple subbrands at the same time.

For example they'd sell TLK legions but not the RID ones as well.

One of the best aspects of the Robots in Disguise line is it's mission to keep the fan favourite Legion class alive. The latest new Legion class figure, Twinferno, has been found at retail in Singapore at Toysrus. The back tells us he is 7 steps so only 1 step less than the warrior class version. Another good news is that his case comes with a repackage of Groundpounder who was skipped in certain areas of the world. This information comes to us from TFW2005 user darkavenger.
