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

Odd, I wonder why. Seems like they have a Leader Jetfire and Titan Metroplex though.

those 2 are in scale with legion class, rather than any other size

Hey all, I had a couple questions:
1. I noticed a $15 deluxe combiner force skywarp on HTS that looks like the RiD deluxe starscream from last year. Is there any difference given the Combiner force branding?
2. Will there be a thundercracker version?

Thanks.

1. Its the same toy as starscream but in different colours.
2. There is no word of an upcoming Thundercracker


On another note, dont you guys think it would have been cooler if that starscream mold stayed as just starscream and they instead made the accompanying seekers from the Stormshot mold? Because that Starscream has the cape effect that only he ever had while the storm shot mold has the wings displayed in perfect seeker fashion.

Seibertronian reviewer Chuckdawg1999 is at it once again, this time bringing us a review of the newly released Activators Sideswipe with Great Byte! Sideswipe is a new mold that, when combined with Great Byte, activates his Stealth-Force-esque vehicle mode, which sort of resembles an Indy car. Greaty Byte meanwhile transforms from bomb/plane/thingy into robot mode and functions as a booster for Sideswipe. Check them out below, along with Chuckdawgs thoughts!

chuckdawg1999 wrote:This is a cool set. Sideswipe is a great version of the RID character, with some sweet tech detail that's shown in its combined form with Great Byte. Speaking of the minicon, Great Byte makes a cool looking blaster and a unique melee weapon. I think it looks like a pick-ax. Most fans will pass this and the other Activators up, but they're fun toys for the price.

We reported a Robots in Diguise 15 pack of Mini-cons a while back which we thought would only be available in China, but mainly because it wasn't being sold anywhere else. Until now. The set of 15 Mini-cons was found this week in Kerrison Toys in Great Yarmouth, UK, for £39.99. These were found by TFW2005 user Gingerchris. These are slight redecos of molds that have already been released.

And once again, Back is labeled as "Decepticon Forth".

They can't seem to stop going back and forth over the names can they?

Well, if they'd actually go forth in making a toy for Forth, they wouldn't have to keep going back to Back's toys.

Ooh, windstrike looks cool. Were they released individually?

That is an odd mix of items that were packed in with larger robots, that were in the previous gift sets or released individually.

It's nice that they have as little more paint though.

My first thought is Undertone looks neat in orange and so does Hammer.

My second thought -


Damn, I could go for some cheeseballs.

Hammer's single pack is Orange already - the Undertone does seem to be a new colour though (someone would need to confirm in person though) as the ones I have of that mould at sand/tan and white respectively and that does seem to be more of a flat Orange.

I have that sand colored one myself, it looks live a different color Undertone. I think that he's one of the best minicons, which might be why he's not available in a single pack. Him and Backtrack were the reasons I bought the 4 pack. It seems to me that the cyclones are my favorites because they are fun to transform and feel nice to hold in your hand. They also make a great pocket toy for when you want to fidget but don't want an overpriced cube/spinner.

I looks like they're all without the 'energon' add-ons :/

Ehh, those things fall off and get lost anyways

No weapon/armour frames unfortunately but I did have to use a little bit of clear nail polish to stop forth/back's leg armour falling off to much. The velociraptor is one of the worst of mine for bit falling off - most of them are OK though. Some I like the armour on them especially the Cyclone ones. Others not so much I don't tend to use it on Black Dragonus or Tricerashot as I prefer them plain.

Kurona wrote:Ooh, windstrike looks cool. Were they released individually?

Yes, tho not necessarily in those colors. The single release of Windstrike is red.

Beastbox's chest armor has broken on mine, and one fist armor piece has a stress mark inside the plastic. Ugh...

From the toyline for Transformers: Robots in Disguise season 3 - aka Combiner Force - we have out first image of the 5-pack Combiner Team for Menasor and the Stunticons in their individual robot and vehicle modes! In the trademark stock photography we've come to know and love, Motormaster is showing off his mistransformation abilities - check it out mirrored below from Swiss retailer Max Bersinger AG!

The Team Combiners contain 5 bots, each can be individually transformed in just a few steps.
And even more action awaits, when you use their Combiner powers to become a gigantic super robot.

It's kind of a shame that Drag Strip doesn't have his unique, well, dragster mode. I think if they were just gonna recolour Wildbreak they should've used Dead End instead.

What do you mean? His spoiler is different. Extensive retool!

Drag Strip: "One o' these days, Wildbreak, BANG! ZOOM! Straight to the Moon!"

What a dang lazy toy.

Come to think of it, does this remind anyone of the Energon combiners? Small, simpler figures in one section of the line; the four limbs having two molds between them?

Kind of similar. Difference is we get a decent cartoon to go with the toyline.

The tables have turned this time.

• Energon: The show was not good, but the five-bot combiner toys were full action figures
• RID 2015: The show is good, but the five-bot combiner toys are not full action figures

Is these small Legends class things or the normal size toy? Cos it looks far worse than the original G1 set. And the blatant mold re-use in it's own team is really lazy.

Honestly, I'd be kind of interested to see someone do a custom of all the RiD combiners with CW molds. I can see Grimlock being difficult for Ultrabee but still.

Primus these look terrible, pure trash, better to just buy a bunch of the tiny movie figures of adorableness...

Well all the combiners have robot modes and vehicle modes (well aside from Grimlock obviously) but they are proper combiners - just they are not like they put a huge amount of effort into them - what with the less that jump up and down exciting robot modes and repeated moulds.

But they are pretty cheap - they only cost a bit more than a Activator combiner does after all.

And that is why I will be displaying them in combined mode, not individual con modes, much

Tbh, I prefer it that way. The toys are perfect for young'uns (my little brother loves his Beeside) and I find the show fun and entertaining. I focus my collecting on Generations toys, so I'm not overly concerned about RiD's toys. I did buy Ratchet a couple months ago and he's pretty cool, and I have little Legion Underbite who is freakin' adorable.

Wow, those are 'bad 80s KO' bad looking.

You know, it just hit me. History has repeated itself for that first bullet point (a bad cartoon with good toys), but with Combiner Wars instead of Energon.

You be the judge, we have a bunch of pics of them at the show

Take note that Motormaster is mistransformed. But you already knew that, right?



The mold reuse within the same team only solidifies the connection with Energon, except there's also minor retooling on the heads, and spoiler in Dragstrip's case. That's one step up

And it's a $30 toy, not like a $50 like the Leader class

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:And it's a $30 toy, not like a $50 like the Leader class

Thank Primus! Was afraid I'd be sacrificing the entire price of a TR leader to experiment with a new, wilder concept. I actually wonder if these are going to be like PCC 'biners since the limbs look a bit, well, awkward.

They will be as simple as the crash combiners we have right now, no need to compare them to anything else. And plus PCC only hanged from vehicle to limb, no robot mode, so we cant compare em.

Plus there's no cute little scout figure to scavenge from these

As is becoming my standard answer simply because I'm tired of even my own complaints about the dumbing down of product.......pass...easy pass.

It's a five-member combiner at about the size and price of a Voyager, right? What I'm seeing looks perfectly acceptable by those standards.

*looks up how Motormaster/Menasor is supposed to be*
Oh wow, that is a stark difference.


Too bad the limb bots aren't any better.

Warrior class Soundwave variant found - https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/139626-rid-warrior-soundwave-running-change/

Just found at Target in CT. The packaging datestamp is 70161, the same as the plate-less version on the pegs with him.

It's a new addition to the plastic of his face.

The ring pattern on the scanning sticker is also different.

Notified by fellow Seibertronian Sabrblade, we checked in with AllSpark user SwiftEagle who reports a Transformers: Robots in Disguise Warrior class Soundwave variant found. The new version has some added plastic to the otherwise entirely lightpiped facesculpt, adding the traditional faceplate, and a different pattern on the scanning sticker. Check it out for yourselves in the images below!

A target exclusive perhaps? Like the battle masked Megatronus?
