NYCC 2016 Transformers: Robots in Disguise Combiner Force Official Images UPDATED

Strongarm... you just got an incredible scout toy; why did you have to... no, Strongarm... babe... that's not a good look.



I can't believe Ironhide is a mini-con

They totally combined Optimus with Strongarm just so they could put Strongarm's forehead crest on Optimus's helmet just so they could do a Star Convoy homage, didn't they.

Hasbro's been all over that guy recently. It's not a bad thing, but it is mighty confusing.

Same. I don't need more renders of Combiner Force to know they're terrible, gimme Stormshot!

I am not sold on stormshot though. While Starscream had a nice levelof complexity to his transformation, this guy seems very basic, reminding me almost of a combiner wars jet.

Maybe... but he still looks cool.

Robot mode looks good, I wont deny it.

And to be frank, jet mode looks pretty good. I like the reference to real life jets.



I just dont like how unoriginal that transformation is and that plays a big factor for me.

ARG! So frustrated by the fact that I have absolutely no need or desire for those big clunky toys, but their minicons are truly amazing!

I think those Combiner Force would be more interesting if they made a few more of them with the likes of Drift, Jazz, Ratchet & maybe Windblade in the line.

But I expect what you see is all there is going to be - and they will vanish like the Minicon compatible scout sized ones.

Oh and the seem to have renamed One-steps I notice.
But regardless what they call them did we really need 3 Bumblebee & 3 Optimus One Step Moulds ?

I like all the new Autobot Jets - if they'd not got so greedy and actually just made Bludgeon I'd have been interested - but the chances of RID being around long enough to actually release a Bludgeon toy seems slim - perhaps Takara might do it though. - And would it have offended some Toy god of something to have at least pre-paint it as Banzai-tron instead of a very inappropriate Autobot.

The combiner force stuff seems to go along with the one steps and 3 steps as being more for small kids. I like how they crash into eachother for them to become a big bot.

That only sounds vaguely similar and even then i doubt they copied it since they Hasbro did something similar in Energon and putting two things to turn into a bigger thing is not an original concept.

Those new minicons remind me of botshots actually.
