Fellow Seibertronian carytheone has sent us a sighting from Baton Rouge's (LA) Toys'R'Us that for some may feel like a blast from the past in new clothes: from the Transformers: Robots in Disguise product lines, we have a sighting for transformable watches! Molded after Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, each for $14.99, the two items featured a working LCD display, and the whole thing can be removed and made to stand as a robot in and of itself. Check them out!

That Bumblebee's the Movieverse Bee. Weird that they'd put that in the RID line.

The Optimus seems a little closer to his movieverse self too.

Also, what is up with that packaging art? Optimus is extremely angry while Bee's got his flirt on.

Upon closer inspection, he looks a little more TF: Prime-ish to me.

I was going to say Bee looks like he's tired but pretending to be interested, but that works too. (I make that same face when I am sleepy and trying to listen to an instructor I am sure)

I didn't notice that Bee was BayBee until after I was looking at the pics with my wife. There's a flipping Chevy bowtie on his chest.

I studied Prime pretty hard, and he just looks like an amalgam of various OPs.

I got some serious nostalgic vibes and really wanted to want one, but they didn't quite do it for me and I was afraid they may not fit my wrist. Maybe they'll release a few more characters.

If Playmates follows suite with Voltron... :michaelbay:

Let's be honest, most Optimus Prime heads look pretty much the same.

Very good eye! So it looks like they're both Movie-verse after all.

The Robots in Disguise line is really left short of consumer awareness through official product reveals. We have yet again, brand new toys we did not know were coming out found at retail. This happens to be part of the Soundwave 3-Step Wave. Joining Soundwave is a redeco of two older molds, Steeljaw and Bumblebee. It is rather odd that it is a reeco of the older Bumblebee 3-step toy and not the new one and even more odd that it is of a deco that is strinkingly similar to the Toysrus Exclusive Clash of the Transformers redeco/retool from two years ago. These were all found at Target in Saratoga, CA, by TFW2005 member JukeOutlander.

This TF fan was kind enough to even share the UPC codes for any fans keeping track.

Enjoy these "newly revealed" toys!

The "tech" line details make me think of the Power Surge toys from last year.

These have been known about since Toy Fair I thought? At least the Australian one. Maybe I'm imagining things.

Your not imagining anything, you just have a better memory than me (and everyone at TFW :-$ ), making some edits :)

I'd like to add something if you guys don't mind.

Sabrblade wrote:The "tech" line details make me think of the Power Surge toys from last year.


... and this is why. The redecos all have added "titles". Here's what I can see:

Bumblebee: Power Surge Bumblebee
Thunderhoof: Seismic Shock Thunderhoof
Steeljaw: Cybertron Strike Steeljaw

Grimlock is the only one I can't figure out. *EDIT*... because he's a new mold, not a redeco. Durh 8-}

And am I the only one who thinks trademarking the "Hyper-something" is kind of dumb?

Sure they do, it's right between the speech therapist and the Mini-Con adoption agency.

Thanks to Snakas Blog, we have a new image of the upcoming Robots in Disguise: Combiner Force Crash Combiner Shocknado! Shocknado is comprised of Shockdrive and Warnado (didn't see those names coming, did ya?) and appears to be nearly a straight re-deco of Skyhammer. Warnado in particular is worth looking at, as he appears to be styled similarly to Cyclonus. Also shown off were the upcoming Lunar Force Primestrong and another image showing the previous 2 figures and Dragbreak together. Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
