Along with the recent sighting - reported here - of the Transformers: Robots in Disguise One Step Soundwave figure in both the US and Canada, we have confirmation of the same toy appearing charismatically in Australia too, thanks to the Ozformers discussion boards and member Polursine. There are other items in the mix too, as you can see, but Soundwave itself is priced at 19 AUSD (if the labelling is on the correct peg, from the image).

In other news from Oz, fellow Seibertron.com staff member Qwan used the sighting to check out their regular haunts, and came across the diecast Dickie Toys figurines from the very same Robots in Disguise section of the franchise, for 10$ AUSD each, featuring the likes of: Optimus Prime, Strongarm, Steeljaw, Sideswipe, Bumblebee and Drift. Check it all out below!

I'm an American and I wouldn't mind having a set of those die cast cars. Oddly, I don't own any of the TLK die cast or any RPMs.

I was just doing some research for fun as to which toys were selling better and it seems that the notion of Titans return selling better than RID is a myth.

As of right now, on toysrus.ca, only 1 RID toy can be ordered, Ultra Bee. Everything else is sold out, which is pretty incredible. For titans return, we have that whole wave of toys that no one is buying, including Quake, Krok and Triggerhappy (along with Trypticon but he is a very high ticket item so I get it).

I looked on Toysrus.com and while there are more RID toys available, the combiners are sold out.

So yeah, this toyline sold pretty well.

Coming to us once again from our good friend, fellow Seibertronian chuckdawg1999, we have a review of the One-Step-Changer Soundwave for the Robots in Disguise Combiner Force subline! As the final One-Step Changer in said line, the figure seems to be a positive note to close out on, featuring a good-looking vehicle mode, effective transformation and a robot mode remarkably accurate to the character's in-show appearance (albeit with some significant kibble on its back).

Check out Chuck's review and thoughts below, and let us know what you think too, by telling us in the Energon Pub Forums!

All things must come to an end, so to Transformer lines. One-Step Soundwave is the last One-Step changer from the RID Combiner Force subline. While not as flashy or involved as other simplified figures, it does make for a fun desk toy and a positive period to the line.

With the relatively recent news of the Transformers: Robots in Disguise warrior class Twinferno figure finally making it to US shelves, we now have news that his smaller scaled toy, legion class Twinferno has been found as well. This particular sighting is from fellow Seibertronian Megatron Wolf who found it at Target in Sayville, NY, for $5.99 USD. This confirms that the US release of these remaining figures is indeed different from the rest of the world where Hasbro distributed, since everywhere else, the next wave should have had legion class Cyclonus and Heatseeker instead with Twinferno coming after that particular wave.

It is currently unknown if the Cyclonus/Heatseeker wave, which has already been spotted in markets outside the US, has been outright skipped in the US or if it will be coming out after the legion Twinferno wave. While there is currently no listing of the CyclonusHeatseeker wave from any US based store, we should remember that the warrior class waves have been out of order as well in the US. The best example is the US getting a wave consisting of just one warrior class Twinferno along with repacked figures as opposed to the Bludgeon/Thermidore/Twinferno wave which is scheduled to come out later this year in the US, half a year after being found everywhere else.

All to say that the US distribution of this line has not been aligned with the rest of the world for some reason, but the good news is that the toys do seem to eventually come out and the US gets this legion class wave a bit earlier than other countries. So early in fact that there has yet to be any video review for this legion class Twinferno. So if you spot any or make one yourself in the next couple of days, let us know!

When looking at all sightings across the world for the Transformers: Robots in Disguise line, there are only two products (that we know of) left to come out. Those are the two remaining Crash Combiners, Primelock and Saberclaw. Primelock is made up of Optimus Prime and Grimlock while Sabreclaw is made up of Bisk and Saberhorn. Both of these toys were previously seen at SDCC 2017 and months later we finally have some stock images, giving us a better look at them.

These final two toys from the line take a nice turn by incorporating beast modes rather than just vehicles with Grimlock and Saberhorn. This is also the first (and only) Saberhorn toy we are getting. These images come to us from Amazon though the products are currently only offered through a third party seller. What is odd is the release date being April 2018, which would be months after the rest of the line is on shelves. The release date is just for this particular third party seller so it is unknown if Amazon, or any other retailer will get them earlier.

Well Animal Transformers don't usually tend to sell as well as other Transformers, besides maybe the Dinobots and that's probably cause their more iconic.

Courtesy of a fellow Seibertron.com fan, we have news of a video review of the recently spotted (in the US) Robots in Disguise Combiner Force Legion class Twinferno! The tiny terror was reviewed by YouTuber 84jruss, and can be viewed in the short clip embedded below.

As we wrote in our previous story about this toy 'the US release of these remaining figures is indeed different from the rest of the world where Hasbro distributed, since everywhere else, the next wave should have had legion class Cyclonus and Heatseeker instead with Twinferno coming after that particular wave.' So they may appear with more irregularity - make sure to use our Sightings Database section to help out other collectors if you come across one, and check it on there for your own hunt!

The Robots in Disguise wave of warrior class figures including Thermidor and Bludgeon has finally hit the US, half a year after this final wave hit the rest of the world. It is great news though since final waves usually suffer from lack of proper distribution due to retailers preferring to stock a new line.
This particular sighting comes from MegaX Master who found Robots in Disguise Thermidor and Bludgeon at Walmart in Rifle Colorado.
For those curious to see what these toys are all about, or for those hesitant about purchasing these, we have a pictorial review of Bludgeon and Thermidor.

There is only one of each of these in every case of eight figures. These two have been highly anticipated by Americans who really hoped not to have to resort to the secondary market so please post your findings in the sightings section and sightings forum.

I really like that Bludgeon figure but it's a shame he, Twinferno and Stormshot wasn't on the show, I'm kind of sick of Transformer toylines not delivering the characters that are actually on screen and giving us cool looking characters who are not on the show.

I'm not asking for the one episode characters...which this toyline had a couple such as Blastwave who doesn't even look like he does on the show but where are better figures of recurring characters such as Underbite and Clampdown? Or proper Stunticons?!

I would prefer it to be like the first couple Movie toylines that had all the film characters (Bar some Contructicons at a scale beyond legends) with additional Toyline only characters that "shared" a line with screen characters and not replaced some of them.

If your toy commercial tv shows can't have characters that have figures then don't bother making them in the show at all.

Well, you're partly right. There's not Windblade, but there is Strongarm and Grimlock in the case. The bright point is that there's also two Twinferno in the case which is good since he's been hard to find as well.

With the ending of any Transformers toyline, there's always the worry that line-ending waves (and any new figures in said waves) will be hard to find or in some cases, won't be found at all. In the particular case of the Robots in Disguise line, the final waves of Legion-class figures, distribution has been spotty at best, but thankfully, seems to be making it to more and more markets. Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Prismartyr, we can report that Legion-class Twinferno has made his way down under to Australia! He sent us some in-package and in-hand images featuring the tiny dragon-headed/handed Autobot, found at a Coles store in Lisarow, New South Wales.

The holiday season is almost over for many countries and cultures (though we have yet to enter the lunar calendar festivities, of course) but in a number of lagging, lapsed, or observant Catholic communities the Epiphany is just round the corner - meaning that Italy has a whole new holiday to gear up for on the commercial front, with the tradition of Befana (a witch-like character who brings sweets and coal to nice and naughty children respectively on the night between 5th and 6th January), and stockings are currently in shops next to the sale of Christmas merch, also including Transformers Robots in Disguise-themed goods!

The images below come from a variety of shops in the country (Carrefour, Coop, Conad, Esselunga) but are almost entirely distributed by Walcor's, much like the advent calendar we reported on here, and also include two mugs filled with chocolates, with prints of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. Check it out!

Greetgins all,

This is kind of a break-in conversation form another thread, but it applies more here thabn in the PotP thread, so I wanted to keep things OT.

basically, I'm nto a fan of the RiD15 line, but I'm not here to bash it, I just want some objective opinons and comparisons. I've had a few figures suggested as shining examples of how Rid15 was, but they are characters I have no desire to own, so the only thing I can do is compare...

I'd like to get an honest comparison between---- Transformers Titans Return Twinferno & Rid15 Twinferno -which overall is better? and why would you say so... (I own TR Twinferno, and I think it is a great toy, I saw RiD15 Twinferno yesterday, and wasn't really impressed based on what I saw in the package)

Same for Windblade. Although I've only seen Rid Windblade up close at B&M, its a nice way to compare two versions of the same character. If a fan could only choose one, why would they pick one over the other?

I've not heard great things about RID twinferno, but I haven't been able to track him down to get an in-hand account.

The RID windblade mold actually stands which is much better than the T30 windblade (haven't gotten TR yet). If you compare T30 WB to RID WB, you'll think T30 is the cheap knockoff because the plastic is much better on RID. My biggest gripe is that the arms are just tabbed into the side, but this is a problem most jetformers have lately including T30 WB. Did I mention RID WB can actually stay together in jet-mode?

These are far from the best of the line though. Ratchet is a really fun remold of Strongarm, but needs some reprolabels. Drift is great unless you get the deployer or 3step. Thunderhoof and Fracture are the two best warriors. Soundwave is fun but has exposed arms. Starscream and skywarp are meh jetformers. Bisk, scorponok, quillfire are great, well-engineered toys. I'd stay away from sideswipe, Optimus, the jets, and bee. The rest of the warrior class are on par with T30/CW deluxes, but I think they fall a hair short of the TR deluxes.

EDIT: I forgot to point out that the only gimmick they have is being able to transform. The warriors don't even have pegs for the minicons (I honestly wish Hasbro had included a few pegs to attach the minicons, just like they did for the 3 steps and deployers).

Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on January 4th, 2018 @ 10:17am CST
We'll start with your first question: Twinferno. The TR one is far superior to the RiD one. The RiD one is the simplist warrior from the line and is not as heavy as the others. He also does a bit less, and the main fun thing from him are the flame accessories. Now that's not to say I don't like him, as he's made a great ceiling fan cling, but the TR one is more involved and more fun overall.

Image

As for Windblade, I personally think her TR figure is the best of the 3 so far, though the warrior is no slouch, and you have the 2 options of regular Windblade and faceplate Windblade (I have the regular. She transforms pretty much the same as the TR one with some slightly different leg transformations, and she holds together nicely, can pose, and can stand. Her sword is very boring though, the T30 and TR Windblade having better weapons. So with Windblade, between TR and RiD, you can't really go wrong.

As for other figures in the line, Thunderhoof is great, one of my new favorite Decepticons thanks to the show, and he has a great figure. Fracture is a standout figure from any of the recent lines, and him being a bike with a giant rifle makes up for him being slightly lighter than the rest of the figures. Quillfire and Bisk and their repaints are great figures that are very unique and are fun in every respect. Ratchet makes for a pretty good generations Ratchet, and he is standing on my LL shelf with Drift. Drift is also a pretty decent figure, though the best (which I never got but wanted to) was his Takara one with a new head based on IDW's design. Bludgeon and Megatronus are also very decent tank formers who have great robot modes, fun tank modes, and some fun transformations.

You should give some of the RiD guys a try, there are some gems that were better than any CW deluxes and most of the TR guys too

If you were into Transformers: Robot in Disguise, you may have come across the tiny collectable items (in blind bags) known as Tiny Titans - non-transformable, but quite dynamically sculpted little bots of the cast from the show. The figures also came with collectable cards, featuring artwork of the accompanying character, such as the one recently posted by artist Emiliano Santalucia on his Facebook art page!

Check out below a rendition of the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, as he dazzles into an action pose, ion cannon and battlemask and all. What do you think of the artist's take on the style of the show's animation? Did you ever collect the cards or figures? Join the discussion in the Energon Pub!

Everything about the RID line is about originality. Design, characters and transformations. So it really shines most when the characters are new. So for characters like Windblade and Twinferno, even though they arent bad they are not the best either. The titans return version for both of those characters is better.

Here is a review for RID Twinferno : https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... ise/38894/

And here is a review for TR windblade which compares her to all windblades in the past: https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... ade/39067/

To truly enjoy the RID line and get the most out of it, you have to check out the new characters.

And only stick with either the Legion class, warrior class or Battle pack class.

As asked above, I did (well still do if I can find them) collect the Tiny Titans blind pack figures. For the most part I really liked the little figures, reminded me of the G1 Decoys, expect that they were individually colored and painted (kind of) /:) . I also like that they had more then just RID characters in the line-up, that was pretty cool. And yes since I collected the figures I also collected the cards that came with them. For the price I think they were worth it and the art on the cards was pretty nice considering. ;)^

So a friend of mine is having surgery and I wanted to get her a gift for when she's recovering. Her favorite TF is Jazz. I found this god awful example of price gouging. Amazon aught to have a rule about this, its absolute garbage.

Oh look toywiz scalped it, what a fragging surprise. >:oP

I don't even know who would pay 70$ for a warrior class figure anyways. People have more money than brains evidently. I mean I am a fan of the character but with the lack of paint apps on this figure it's not worth more than retail imho. It's got a very fun transformation but there is no way it's worth 70 bucks. :HEADHURTS:

Besides, if you want a nice RID Jazz go for the Japanese TAV23 release, it's far superior. You can find a few on eBay for $36 or get one out of Hong Kong for $20 (and probably high fairly reasonable shipping).

Thanks to our very own chuckdawg1999 we now have a video review of Saberhorn aka Saberclaw & Bisk. While there have not been any reported sightings other than in Singapore, you may remember seeing some stock images of them a few months ago. It is also interesting to note that this is also the only figure of Saberhorn currently available. As chuckdawg1999 mentions in the video this figure may be hard to come by so if you would like one it may be a good idea to start looking. Saberclaw was shown at SDCC so there is a chance that they may show up in the US. As always, we will keep a vigilant optic out for any information to let our readers know the latest.

If you happen to spot these figures please let us know!

Sweet! I still stay the Crash Combiners were pretty cool and had some good ideas. Still keeping my eye open for Saberclaw and Primelock, they may be the most interesting of the class. Dragbreak and Skyhammer were cool, and Primestrong wasn't bad either, so I'm happy with my 3.

With a few tweaks, the Crash Combiners could've been the Duocons.

I'm just getting tired of Hasbro's weird AF distribution model. It seems like later waves are impossible to find, but they stuff a figure that all the collectors want into or, in this case, is actually a fun toy. Sky Lynx, Windblade, Bludgeon, Cogman, etc. I can't wait to see what happens with Optimus Primal and the fembots.

There is definite concern for Novastar since she is the only new figure. But Primal will be fine, he comes paced 50/50.

We've been notified via email of the first sighting of one of the last toys to come out of the Transformers: Robots in Disguise line, Combiner Force Crash Combiners sub-line, at US retail: Saberhorn and Bisk, who combine into Saberclaw!

While Bisk has received a couple of toys in the various branches of the line, this is the only Saberhorn figure due out from the show's plastic rendition. The two-pack was spotted at the Brown Deer Road Walmart in Wisconsin for $15.57 (with tax), by user Slagwave who first posted over on TFW2005. If you come across your own sighting, make sure to use the Database right here, join the discussion, and happy hunting!

Does it have a SKU separate from the rest of the Two-Pack Crash Combiners?

I don't know about SKU but I have these codes for it. I wish I knew more about how these codes work to be honest. Upon doing some reasearch I learned that an SKU can be different for each retailer so perhaps UPC/EAN is the thing we are looking for to answer your question. I'm going to spend some time learning about this but so far I have this for you-

Saberhorn & Bisk (Saberclaw): Hasbro product code # E1114, UPC # 630509628568 or 630509659432, EAN # 5010993468874

They seem to be all different from the other crash combiners.

Strongarm & Optimus Prime (Primestrong): Hasbro product code # C0629, UPC # 630509506583, EAN # 5010993350582

Sideswipe & Bumblebee (Beeside): Hasbro product code # C0630, UPC # 630509506613, EAN # 5010993350575

Skysledge & Stormhammer (Skyhammer): Hasbro product code # C0631, UPC # 630509509973, EAN # 5010993353354

Lunar Force Strongarm & Optimus Prime (Primestrong): Hasbro product code # C2344, UPC # 630509558421, EAN # 5010993389117

Shockdrive & Warnado (Shocknado): Hasbro product code # C2343, UPC # 630509558414, EAN # 5010993389100

Dragstrip & Wildbreak (Dragbreak): Hasbro product code # C2342, UPC # 630509558438, EAN # 5010993389094

Grimlock & Optimus Prime (Primelock): Hasbro product code # E1111, UPC # 630509628575 or 630509671847, EAN # 5010993468881

Also here is how I learned more about what SKU means, I know I found it very helpful

So that's where some of the PotP product codes went:

E1110: Micronus with Autobot Cloudburst
E1111: Primelock: Optimus Prime & Grimlock
E1112: Liege Maximo with Skullgrin
E1113: Vector Prime with Metalhawk
E1114: Saberclaw: Saberhorn & Bisk
E1115: Alchemist Prime with Submarauder
E1116: Alpha Trion with Landmine

No wonder that they're coinciding with PotP Prime Master Wave 2...

That, or tweak the molds to include knees and elbows but keep the spring loaded part.
