I'd go for the pods and weapons, but NOT those figures.

Looks like a Bionicle Tub to me.
But yeah I guess you could use it as a stand in Cybertonian Restoration Chamber too.
A real shame they didn't use the Japanese Bumblebee mould though.

Exactly my thoughts. I'm going to wait it out, see if I can get it any cheaper somehow

This might bring you a bit of comfort but there is a slight difference, the plastic has changed. You know how the initial ones had this sparkly plastic with a slight metallic sheen? Scotty said that the plastic here is more of the matte kind which doesnt have that extra sparkle.

In case anyone is wondering don't know if it has been said before but this is $39.99 in the US. And seeing the similarities between this pod and the CR Chamber make me kinda want it.

It had been mentioned but I am glad that it's brought up again. Essentially, the pod and weapons come to $10 considering the $14.99 price of the warriors, or if you go by the $16.99 price they are only $6.
Either way, I like it. Though what I'd do with the extra Bee and Steeljaw remains a mystery

Oh my heart! I need one! 
Here's hoping we can find enough of these on eBay or something from people who wanna toss them. Fingers crossed

Yeah there's a super minor difference in these dudes. They've got some sparkle, but not as much as the first release.

ScottyP wrote:On another topic, speaking of the Decepticon Island Showdown set, not sure it's been pointed out that Bumblebee and Steeljaw are a little different. By "a little different" I mean there is one teeny-tiny difference: the smooth silver plastic with clearly visible metallic flake mixed in from the initial Warrior Class releases of the toys has been replaced in this set by a much grayer, matte silver. It's actually more noticeable from far away then up close if you just glance at the toys. Not a big thing but still, at least there was something a little new outside of the cool accessories!

Fellow Seibertronians, while it's been available for a little while now, we are now bringing you a friendly heads-up that the new Transformers Robots in Disguise Sideswipe and Windstrike Battle Pack is now available on Amazon, it's also possible that it has made it's way to other retailers as well. So take a minute to check out the images of it below to refresh yourself on this figure, and be sure to let us know if you are planning on picking this figure up, or have seen it already.

Is Windstrike a remold of Lancelon (or other way around) or is it a new mold?

It's safe to say some RiD Mini-Cons reuse transformations without being retools. Seems to happen a lot these days...

Saw him with Strongarm, but opted for the lady instead. My boys like her character better.

A lot of the torpedo minicons share the same transformation while having completely new parts, so they could just share engineering, as was said, and it is not too uncommon
