Fellow Seibertronians, Robot Kingdom has just posted a pre-order for the new wave 5 Mini-cons. The case, which can be pre-ordered here, is to include the following:

-Slipstream

-Lord Doomitron

-Bashbreaker

-Tricerashot

All of whom include a weapon mode now instead of a 'launcher mode', and will be the first wave under the moniker "Mini-Con Weaponizers", and it remains to be seen if they too carry on the component of being able to combine their armor into an animal. So check out the picture mirrored below, and let us know what you think of this new line of Mini-cons in the comments below.

You know, some of these Minicons are getting dangerously close to modern takes on Action Master Partners. If only Tricerashot were more T-Rex. Almost as much so as the Arms Microns, but not quite as cool looking, as a whole.

Is the Double Barell guy a gun? or a Tank?

Definitely liking that hammer guy, this is where I can say 'screw the lack of articulation', he's cute and functional as an awesome looking weapon 8-)

These guys are actually kind of cool, definitely picking up at least two of Lord Doomitron so I can have a toy wielding those gloves.

Tricerashot looks really good. I find myself liking the beast minicons more than the others. I have Dragonus and he's great. I also plan to get Beastbox and Sandsting too.

What I will do is give Lord Doomitron to Steeljaw, who already has a claw hand. Like that he will have 2 claws, one different from the other. Really looking forward to these.

Slipstream looks to be a gun of some sort, since the Mini-Cons don't turn into vehicles.

Gah, minicons!! Please!!!

I am a bit disappointed as I have not seen anything past wave 2 (and I really want a Jetstorm (single packaged in one of the newer waves) and Airrazor (still waiting on that individual release....) and considering how common the minicons are, I will not strive to get anymore than the original 2 pairs before the weapon versions. The weapons just look so awesome and I want them now :MAXIMAL:

Oh wow. You know I don't have any of the RiD stuff but...I'd totally buy these to use on my other figures. This is so much better than the hockey pucks.

Fellow Seibertronians, straight from Botcon we bring you more photos of the Transformers display at Botcon, specifically the Transformers Robots in Disguise toys. Not only do we have our first look at Warrior Class Bisk and Ratchet, but we spot Scatterspike, a redeco of Quillfire and we have another look at some upcoming minicons and Warrior Windblade.

Re: Stock Image Wave 5 Mini-cons (1779275)
Posted by Fires_Of_Inferno on April 8th, 2016 @ 2:58pm CDT

YAYYY! BISK!

Also: That RiD Ratchet will probably be my stand-in for a generations/classics Ratchet. Good use of the Strongarm mold!

You know, I've never thought to ask this before, but how come a lot of the RiD characters have the exact same chest design? Is that getting boring to anyone else?

Re: Stock Image Wave 5 Mini-cons (1779276)
Posted by Hellscream9999 on April 8th, 2016 @ 3:01pm CDT

Bisk looks great, looks bulky and accurate to the show, love the claws on him, definitely gonna get him if he pan's out well. These are such a nice breath of fresh air amidst all the bland G1 stuff :APPLAUSE:

Re: Stock Image Wave 5 Mini-cons (1779288)
Posted by psj333 on April 8th, 2016 @ 3:15pm CDT

You know, it's good for us to see Bisk and Scatterspike in their Warrior forms. Finally, I'm glad! However, is this all the brand new Warriors Cons that we are all going to see at this Saturday's Botcon, or that there will be more on the way tomorrow? Will brand-new Cons in their Legion, One-Step, and 3-Changer forms be there as well? Will Warrior Springload and Warrior Clampdown be there tomorrow, or these will be released at a future date? By the way, where is Crazybolt. and Steeljaw lately? Are they also at this year's Botcon as well?

Also if Optimus is here, why Steeljaw isn't?

Suuure would be great to see Quillfire widely available before starting barely changed repaints. Still think they missed the mark in not having a Blot repaint.

On the other hand, that Bisk is lovely.

Makes me wonder if we might see a Glowstrike toy in the future, given her importance on the show.

Re: Stock Image Wave 5 Mini-cons (1779304)
Posted by Robogeek1973 on April 8th, 2016 @ 3:51pm CDT

I'm liking Windblade's design, but will be waiting for the TakTom version of her, Scorponok, and Bisk.

I have no need for Scatterspike if he isn't a toon character, so time will tell on that one.

After the preliminary floor shots of Hasbro products courtesy of Va'al's camera phone, Seibertron.com's higher quality camera brings full galleries for the products on display, starting with the Robots in Disguise line! Shown in full here, and a sample available below, are figures the likes of Ratchet, Windblade, Bisk, Scatterspike, Scorponok, the new Mini-cons, and more - check them out, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub.

Rid is doing a great job with these cons, Bisk looks great. Ratchet looks really cool too but the prime one is already really good so I'm not sure if he is a buy yet. I'm really enjoying that everybody gets to play with everybody display.

speaking of Ratchet....i wonder if he's gonna appear on the show :-?

since we're getting this toy of him! it would be cool if he did....& still voiced by Jeffrey Combs :-D

That doesn't bother me. The wind screen look does look cool. But I guess those scannable stickers are to blaim for that.

I suppose he gets a role like Jazz. He will join the Autobots for a few episodes and Fixit will be his little fan-boy like Sideswipe was for Jazz.

Warrior Bisk is incredibly cool. The TR line is getting my main autobot attention, and this line is getting my main con attention. they look so cool! Scorponok, Bisk, Thunderhoof, Quillfire, Crazybolt, they are all on the list to get. And with the way things are going, not to mention the hint at an "old friend" returning in the season 2 finale, I'm pretty certain Ratchet is coming back :MAXIMAL:

I didnt think of the scannable stickers. Though that cant be all of it since on smaller figures, it ends up in other places than the chest. Also, fewer have this type a chest than one may think. Case in point, here are a slew of decepticons that dont:

But for those that do, what I thought about the design was that the windshield chests gave the designs a sense of continuity to the Transformers brand as it goes in such a different direction with these beastly robot modes. The designs are out there (werewolves, giant lobsters ect) but that chest gives them the remnant of the fact that they are Cybertronian in origin, that they are Transformers. It grounds the design. I especially love it when it turns out to be a real chest rather than a fake piece. Hence why I love that Steeljaw mold.

Also, isnt it fun how the fact that fewer people care about these toys actually makes these botcon events more fun because no one spoils their reveal in advance?

I dont know. None of my local stores have even gotten that third wave of minicons yet, the one that comes before the weapons.

I think we will get the individually packed weapon minicons in the summer at the earliest

I'm still trying to find out if the RID Legion Class is officially dead now ?

They have in the past removed it only to reintroduce it as part of a Movie line - so if they are doing that I'd understand.

But there still is lots of Decepticons (in particular) I'd have liked to see in that scale.

Re: Stock Image Wave 5 Mini-cons (1780460)
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on April 12th, 2016 @ 1:31pm CDT

RAR: there ares till some legion class coming out. Bisk and Groundpounder are supposed to be getting legion toys here soon.

And I agree about the minicons. I have only seen wave 1 and 2 and that first 4-pack. I really want to see wave 4 so I can get the individual Jetstorm and Ransack so (except for Airazor) I have the main 3 minicon teams (and I use Overloads team very loosely as main) :MAXIMAL:

I dont know why you are still wondering that since Hasbro has shown them at events with all the other classes.

Two European websites are giving us some new photos of upcoming Robots in Disguise toys. Unlike the recent trend of Hasbro official images being 3-d renders, these are images of the actual toys. Czech site Pompo.cz, shows us the Alpine Deco Sideswipe with Windstrike Mini-Con Weaponizer Battle Pack. Sideswipe has clear snap-on armor which can be attached to Windstrike, turning it into a big sword. A picture of Battlepack Strongarm was also found on that site. There are also new images of the weapon minicons Lord Doomitron and Slipstream from UK distributor Wind Designs.

Enjoy!

well, I worked it out tonight. I am going to go on a minicon binge when the new ones start coming out. I decided that I am going to get pairs. i already have Slipstream. Divebomb, Backtrack and Back, so I am going to get Jetstorm, Airazor, Ransack and Forth to go with them to complete the pairs. I will also get the Swelter/Glacius pair and the Hammer/Anvil pair. I will get Hammer with Crazybolt, so I will need to find Anvil somehow hopefully separate from Sideswipe, and for the life of me I cannot find Airazor separate from Fracture. I don't want those larger figures, just the minicons. BAH!! :MAXIMAL:

But honestly, you can probably just wait for a discount on the deployers and save the hassle, but Taks do look nicer (especially Jetstorm).

The funny thing is, I'm contemplating getting 2 of him: 1 for the Prime/RiD shelf, and another for the Lost Light, as he can make a passable MTMTE Ratchet

I have the Tak Jetstorm on preorder from BBTS. I figured I'd be lucky to find the Drift deployer on discount for under $10 and the "deco" on that Jetstorm leaves a little to be desired. Toss him on my PoL and I won't get charged any extra for shipping.

No quotes, as a MTMTE fan, I thought that was a given.

But I want the minicon and is the only reason I picked him up. Glad I only pad a little over $6 for him.
