Fellow Seibertronian Maximal Rainmaker has sent us a sighting of the Dickie Toys licensed Transformers: Robots in Disguise set of figures, spotted at a Target in Canberra, Australia. They're two-packed, non-transforming, die-cast vehicles, three sets in total: Optimus Prime with Strongarm, Bumblebee with Steeljaw and Optimus Prime with Sideswipe. Check them out below!

Hey look, next to Bee, it's that one important Decepticon who's not in the show anymore.

...Even though the theme song won't stop showing him. :P

The animalistic Decepticons were one of the best parts of this show and toyline. I hope the G1/Prime heavy look and feel of the recent villains is only temporary!

Then you'll like (who I think might be) Prong.

So if you want Sideswipe and Strongarm, you gotta accept that you are getting 2 Primes? Bummer.

But these look really awesome. despite not being officially licensed vehicles, they are incredibly fun to look at, and they are sweet.

Eeeh... to be honest, I kind of think this'll be the last 'wave' of sorts of RiD. It's been going on for a few years now and generally main Transformers shows (and their toyline) end around this point to make way for a new one. Could be wrong, but it just sorta feels like this is the last hurrah.

I see no reason to stop - they have Movies to hype and no clear idea of what to replace it with - just keep making mini-seasons of the show - now it's finally getting some fans - it would be silly to start over when RID was super slow burn.

They could slot in a new TV show in a hurry if they find there is a delay in the Movie releases - but otherwise - why bother replacing it.. unless it's with another sequel - that would work too.

Personally I'd welcome a toyline and show very much like the cancelled or Chinese only Prime Style Videogames from 5 years or so ago.

Seibertronian forum admin Burn has let us know that the Ozformers Facebook page has posted a new sighting, this time in the form of Crash Combiner Skyhammer! Skyhammer was sighted at a Kmart and a Toymate for $19. If this guy interests you and you live in Australia, head on out and start hunting him down!

If you see a figure, mention it! We don't know if you've seen something if you never tell us, and we like to news the latest sightings!

The 2-packs haven't moved a bit between yesterday when I went and when I news-ed this. I think they're gonna be shelfwarmers like the CW Skywarps.

Continuing on with a nice Sunday stroll down Transformers Reviews Lane, we bring to you 3 new video reviews from usual suspect Chefatron showing off some new Robots in Disguise Combiner Force figures. The 3 figures reviewed here are Legion Cyclonus, who has a toy similar to legion Starscream; Legion Heatseeker, who is a new mold that transforms similar to Sideswipe but with a more Bulkhead feel; and Activator Combiner Soundwave with Laserbeak, both of whom are new molds. Check out the reviews below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

I do want Heatseeker. He seems pretty cool an I'm not really sure yet if I will get the Galvatronus combiner with him

I am still amazed that Hasbro or Takaratomy hasn't rereleased the BH predacons as RID decepticons as toy only characters to fill out the ranks on the toys and make a quick buck without making new molds

Activators Soundwave looks surprisingly awesome! He just might be the first gimmick-former I add to my collection!

So...

A blue SUV Decepticon with limited articulation due to being based around a gimmick; said gimmick being flip-out weaponry that's mounted on the back of the vehicle mode and on either side of the head in robot mode.

Any word on if anyone on Shapeways is making a replacement Crankcase head? :lol:

We have a first sighting for you all, of Legion Blurr in the US. It was found at Meijer in Indianapolis for $5.99 by TF fan Flexx Art. Blurr is part of the second wave of the Combiner Force subline which makes it the 9th wave of Legion figures in Robots in Disguise. None of the other legions he is packed with are new since they are rereleases of Optimus Prime, Bisk and Bumblebee. All are evenly packed in the case.

If you wanted a G1 Blurr, there's the Titans Return/Takara Legends one.
