We have a couple of new sightings sent our way from across the States, for the Transformers: Robots in Disguise line! First up from a Toys'R'Us in Cary, North Carolina, via ScottyP, we get the new Power Surge 10-step Starscream figure, complete with his Mini-Con Lancelon ($29.99). And via Multicron in Fairfax, Virgina, we have confirmation of the TRU exclusive Deluxes, including Optimus Prime, Starscream, and Paralon, plus the Bumblebee and Steeljaw 2-pack with Stasis Pod!

UPDATE: Site owner Seibertron has also come across the full load in Schaumburg, Illinois. Photo proof below! The figures are out there, Seibertronians. Go hunt.

Remember, if you have any sightings to notify us with, please email us via the contact form, or flag it up in the Sightings database and regional boards! Happy hunting.

Was at walmart today and saw pegs for the minicon weaponizers but the price was $2.50, so either hasbro is finally pricing things right or its a clearance price for the old minicons. Speaking of the old minicons with the weaponziers showing up i guess waves 3 & 4 wont be making it to stores, hell at this rate id be surprised if anything made it to the stores.

Yep, I wanted 4 minicons from waves 3 and 4 and I can't find them. They ended up at TJMaxx and stuff and there is nothing at the ones near me

Probably the old minicons. I saw them at walmart at that price and finally took notice of them. Hard to pass up transformers that cheap even if I have little interest. Would be nice if those tags stuck around for the weapon guys though.

Another day, another round of reviews! Thanks to Youtubers Chuckdawg1999 and emgo316 we bring to you our latest round of reviews, this time focusing on the Robots in Disguise Power Surge line. Up first is Chuck's review of Power Surge Sideswipe and his minicon Windstrike, which can be found below:

Chuckdawg1999 wrote:Power Surge Sideswipe is part of the simplified line of RID figures. Sideswipe is a chunky robot, that reminds me of 80s Transformer. Activating the sounds is a bit awkward, with or without the Minicon attached. Most collectors will pass on this but I can really see kids enjoying it.



Up next are Emgo's reviews of Power Surge Starscream with Lancelon and Power Surge Optimus Prime with Aerobolt. Check them out:

Wave 3 and 4 did make it to stores, just no the big box ones. All those waves were sent to the market six stores like TJ Maxx, marshalls and the rest.

Speaking of minicons, do we know what wave 6 is already?

we never got any news reports, and I found those on Emgo's channel and after watching it realized that they had never been newsed so I put them up.

Both Will, Va'al, and I have links in our sigs to report news, and we're all very active, so let us know if you see another video, we like posting them when brought to our attention!

Also, thanks Jelz. Still disappointed in the lack of minis in my area, wave 1 and 2 wont go away

Speaking of Youtube reviewers (sort of) :

I was just watching this...



And I had a thought is it possible to jam the hammer type or other Minicons inside Overload's arms to fill those HUGE gaps in at all ?

Clash of the Transformers Sightings listings have been updated to include the two newest items, Power Surge Starscream and the Island Showdown set. Sorry it took so long, if you notice something like that in the future shoot me a PM or make a post in this thread and I'll see it sooner ;)

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!

TFWiki has this:

You know I had Minicons up to date right here on this site's database when you posted this? Is it the wave breakdown that makes it easier to go elsewhere?

Honest question because with all the time I spend on just keeping listings up to date it's super frustrating to see posts like this. I'm not perfect (see immediately above) but it's usually pretty on point.

In case people don't know where to go, could you show us all real quick how to find the info on this site for the minicons?

Also, could it because Robots in Disguise is within the Prime section and not on its own?

As promised sorry it's a bit vague I was interrupted while photographing.

But this shows the axe stored on the leg and the launchers combined with the sword.

Also the storage for the Launchers & Axe that Hasbro neglected to put in the instructions :
