In Hand Images of Robots In Disguise Minicon 4 pack W1 341148

I'm still waiting on those individual releases of Jetstorm and Airazor so I can have my show minicons, but these don't look too bad at all. Also can't wait for the minicon weapons

Seibertron was lucky to get the new four pack in and take some prelminary pictures of them in their box. We had perviously only seen 3d toy models so this gives us a better idea of the deco and detail. This set (W1 341148) includes Backtrack, Swelter, Beastbox ad Scorch Strike. Enjoy!

Lukewarm is a very diplomatic way to say it

got links? How expensive are they? are they more expensive than a deluxe figure?

Entertainment Earth is strange with prices. I was going to get the wave 2 combiner wars limbs from them for $54.99, but then HTS got them in stock and with a 25% discount, so I went there instead. I also got the wave 3 limbs from there for $50.00 even, so I got good prices. It's just some are weird and I feel like there is a price difference depending on something I don't know about, such as me getting wave 3 at $12.50 individuals, but the whole set had 2 prices: one at $64.99 and another at $119.99. They're weird, but you can score, just maybe not here

Legends (Commander)=$10
Minicon + armor = $3 to $5

I had more been thinking $29.99 for the same reasons, minicons being $5 and commanders being $10. maybe even a smidge cheaper being they are a set, but oh well. these are more prices I would see BBTS having.

I think you even get more out of this than a deluxe since you get 2 transforming figures plus armour which can merge into a weapon. The deluxe grimlock didnt even have a weapon.

I think Chuck was just saying that Entertainment Earth is an expensive place to buy things so their price may not be reflective of what the same item would cost in Target or Walmart.

I appreciate the "Commander" class RID items even is some of them are a little redundant - I would be doing what I have to do with the Legends/Basic class and split them into two collections.

For example Optimus/Starscream/Megatron/Acid Storm/Thundercracker/Optimus/Skywarp would be used as "larger" toys and apired with the likes of Legion/Legends class toys from some years ago like : Hound, Bumblebee, Beachcomber.

Where as : Groove, Warpath, Bumblebee, Gears, Swerve, Tailgate, Windcharger, Huffer, Pipes, Viper, Cosmos, & Powerglide fit into the Minibot scale when taken with a Deluxe... those would for exmple Go OK with Jet Bomber Megatron & Orion Pax.

Rodimus, Scrapnel & Bombshell can be either or.

So the same idea with RID-15/16 would be that Optimus & Grimlock would be leadership characters paired with Legion Bumblebee/Sideswipe etc..

Where as the new Bumblebee & Sideswipe would be the smaller characters I'd use with the warrior Megatronus & Optimus toys. (but legions work well for that too in vehicle mode at least - not so much in robot mode).

So I will need to see them as 2 things just like I feel the need to do with the previous Legends/Basic toys that represent bigger and smaller characters in the same price point.

I don't find that a distraction though.

Why are these Minicons' colors SO WRONG?

I got my Warrior Megatronus today!!!!!!!

He is everything I had heard and I love this guy to death! He is an amazing figure and a great showing for the entire toyline, easily one of the best. Go out and get him guys!!
