While Seibertron has provided a bunch of photos of the newly announced Robots in Disguise figures, showcased at the US Toy Fair, Hasbro has released the official pictures.

These give us an up close look at the new minicons and the clear armour bits they come with. It is interesting to note that these clear plastic pieces are packaged in a way that imitates the minicon's fraction symbol. The ones shaped as disks are for Drift while the ones shapes like arrow heads (torpedos) are for Fracture.

Scott notes the following regarding what he saw at the show:

Cool bit about the Minicons - each sprue has a piece on it that can be combined with pieces from other Minicons, and if you buy the whole wave of them you can make a new bot out of said pieces. Pretty neat concept! The transformations also really remind me of the data discs from FoC, just not automatic/spring-loaded like those.

These minicons include:

Well, forget the one-step. I'll take that Legion Fixit.

Sideswipe still looks cool, but something about Jazz just doesn't feel right. I'll probably still get him because, screw it, it's fucking Jazz.

So many of these promo shots are basically repeats of each other...

The Mini-Cons are a bit of a lot of things: the Data Discs, the Construct-Bot dinosaurs, even a bit of BMOG. I wonder if there's a specific bot you make after getting them all, or if it's just an open-ended make whatever.

I actually really love these minicons, especially the autobot ones. But I really dont like the Deployers themselves. That drift alt mode looks horrendous. I would have preferred a non transforming drift is I was going to get something this bad. Also, it is so odd how the one step fracture has a much better alt mode than the more expensive Deployer Fracture.

Lastly, I thought Jazz looked weird too, and then I realized he had eyes.

That Sideswipe looks awesome though!

Anybody else getting an Energon Omnicon/Terrorcon vibe from these minicons? These in my opinion fill a collecting niche that the Construct-bots Dinobot Riders and before that Botshots filled. Something inexpensive to waste my money on

Any pricing on them yet? They look cute, but they'll certainly cost enough that I'll hesitate to buy them. It's also neat that the transparent armor pieces will combine into their own robot.

4.99$ each packed individually, all the pricing can be found here. I actually think its a fair price since its half a data disk set for half the price.

I was completely on-board with Fracture, until I looked closer at the little launcher. If I can't hide that thing somewhere in robot mode that's a deal breaker.

I hope it gets a Warrior class figure, because I like this design best out of the new Decepticons revealed so far.

On Ben Yee's facebook page, you can see some videos that show how the deployers work. It's a bit lackluster but the individua minicon transformation is great!

More than hunderoof? I hope that guys gets a warrior treatment and that when the time comes, the rake transforms into his antlers instead of being replaced by them.

We've seen the official images, we've seen the first look Hasbro area coverage - but the Toy Fair 2015 experience would not be complete without a Seibertron.com gallery of the recent reveals for the toyline accompanying Robots in Disguise! Click on any image below for the full works, including Warriors, Deployers, One-Step, Hyper Change, Mega One Step and more, with characters ranging from Drift, to Jazz, Bumblebee, Fracture, Optimus Prime, new Deployers such as Akita Wolk, Slipstream, Beast Box, Buzzsaw and more!

And keep scrolling to find out more about the Hero Mashers line, as it takes on the characters from the upcoming animated series too, featuring bodyswapped creations of Bumblebee, Steeljaw, Clampdown - and some intruding Marvel Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers characters too!

Did you not see that Ultra Magnus? Nothing else matters, all these toys can suck it.

We've seen the official images, we've seen the first look Hasbro area coverage, we have a Seibertron.com gallery of the recent reveals, and now we have for you a video which gives a demonstration of the the new Robots in Disguise Deployer toys. Deployers Drift and Fracture interact with their minicons by propelling them out and the video gives you an idea of what the action feature looks like.

I might go ahead and pick up the Mini-Cons, as they're a little different and quite cool looking. The Deployers don't appeal to me in the slightest and the new play-style is beyond weak.

As for the rest of the Robots in Disguise line, I'm still trying to figure out what all the different figure types are. I get the impression Hasbro are falling back into the habit of over-saturating their own brand with numerous play options. I feel like I'm going to have to buy them all before I can figure out which one I actually want.

It's not as new as you think: FoC Soundwave and Blaster have the same gimmick, especially with the Mini-Cons being more like their little buddies.

I've got a few questions about this Rid toy.

What is the bigger non minicon toy's name? is it Fracture or Airazor?

How big is the non minicon toy? Deluxe class or Voyager Class?

What is HasTak calling the vechicle mode for the bigger non minicon toy? Please don't say deployer as that's the gimmick.

I was content to pretty much give this line a miss, but damn ... those minicons look too good to pass up.
