Transformers: Robots in Disguise Transforming Watches Sighted at US Retail

That Bumblebee's the Movieverse Bee. Weird that they'd put that in the RID line.

The Optimus seems a little closer to his movieverse self too.

Also, what is up with that packaging art? Optimus is extremely angry while Bee's got his flirt on.

Upon closer inspection, he looks a little more TF: Prime-ish to me.

I was going to say Bee looks like he's tired but pretending to be interested, but that works too. (I make that same face when I am sleepy and trying to listen to an instructor I am sure)

I didn't notice that Bee was BayBee until after I was looking at the pics with my wife. There's a flipping Chevy bowtie on his chest.

I studied Prime pretty hard, and he just looks like an amalgam of various OPs.

I got some serious nostalgic vibes and really wanted to want one, but they didn't quite do it for me and I was afraid they may not fit my wrist. Maybe they'll release a few more characters.

If Playmates follows suite with Voltron...

Cool...looks like they remolded the old ROTF digital watches again.

Let's be honest, most Optimus Prime heads look pretty much the same.

Very good eye! So it looks like they're both Movie-verse after all.

The Robots in Disguise line is really left short of consumer awareness through official product reveals. We have yet again, brand new toys we did not know were coming out found at retail. This happens to be part of the Soundwave 3-Step Wave. Joining Soundwave is a redeco of two older molds, Steeljaw and Bumblebee. It is rather odd that it is a reeco of the older Bumblebee 3-step toy and not the new one and even more odd that it is of a deco that is strinkingly similar to the Toysrus Exclusive Clash of the Transformers redeco/retool from two years ago. These were all found at Target in Saratoga, CA, by TFW2005 member JukeOutlander.

This TF fan was kind enough to even share the UPC codes for any fans keeping track.

Enjoy these "newly revealed" toys!

The "tech" line details make me think of the Power Surge toys from last year.

These have been known about since Toy Fair I thought? At least the Australian one. Maybe I'm imagining things.

Your not imagining anything, you just have a better memory than me (and everyone at TFW ), making some edits

I'd like to add something if you guys don't mind.

Sabrblade wrote:The "tech" line details make me think of the Power Surge toys from last year.

... and this is why. The redecos all have added "titles". Here's what I can see:

Bumblebee: Power Surge Bumblebee
Thunderhoof: Seismic Shock Thunderhoof
Steeljaw: Cybertron Strike Steeljaw

Grimlock is the only one I can't figure out. *EDIT*... because he's a new mold, not a redeco. Durh

And am I the only one who thinks trademarking the "Hyper-something" is kind of dumb?

anyone think RID Soundwave weighs more than Prime Soundwave?

I personally didn't realize they had McDonald's in the Shadowzone.

Sure they do, it's right between the speech therapist and the Mini-Con adoption agency.

Thanks to Snakas Blog, we have a new image of the upcoming Robots in Disguise: Combiner Force Crash Combiner Shocknado! Shocknado is comprised of Shockdrive and Warnado (didn't see those names coming, did ya?) and appears to be nearly a straight re-deco of Skyhammer. Warnado in particular is worth looking at, as he appears to be styled similarly to Cyclonus. Also shown off were the upcoming Lunar Force Primestrong and another image showing the previous 2 figures and Dragbreak together. Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

That artwork really looks like galvatron and cyclonus.

I misread as Sharknado.

CRAP, so it's not Shockwave.

*looks at Shockdrive's and Warnado's names*

...

*notices Warnado, or "War Tornado" looks like Cyclonus*

...

*groans*

This is strange because the legion IS called Cyclonus. Maybe Warnado will be his alias?
Then again, not exactly like this size class has been very accurate - Dragbreak, anyone?

The Legion is Cyclonus proper, as the Galvatronus combiner one has the same alt mode.

Hey guys, how do the legend/scout-ish figures of Optimus, Strongarm, Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Grimlock that came in the mini-con battlepacks scale with Generations Legends? Same size, bit smaller, bit bigger? Anyone got pics?

They are slightly bigger.

Courtesy of a post on Instagram by user Marcus Goh, we finally have a sighting for some new RiD Warriors - the long-awaited redecos of Blastwave and Bisk; Bludgeon and Thermidor! These were sighted at Singapore retail with unfortunately no details on the price or store, but we at least now know they're out there and they may start popping up elsewhere shortly. Check out the picture below and tell us if you plan to get these two in the Energon Pub!

Can't wait for these to trickle down in my neck of the woods. I've been tempted to buy the cosplay Bludgeon (Blastwave) but I decided to just wait for the actual Bludgeon.

Really does look like the 'fisher price version' of the classic RotF Bluddy. Pass.

Not really digging the red parts on Bludgeon that should be more of a brownish (or somewhere in between), but that'll still be worth a pickup if I have the money and it ever shows up here. Almost picked up that precolored version, but this will be better even with that wacky red.

I like that lobsterboy is essentially a Vehicon with some remolded robit parts.

I got Blastwave already, only because I like the deco, and it resembles a KO I own. I've renamed him Dokuronin.

But that won't stop me from getting Bludegon as the G1 guy. Best part: no rubbery plastic to worry about. Those bent swords, ugh.

Bludgeon looks better than I thought he would and now i'm not buyin Blastwave

I've passed up on Bisk to wait for Thermidor (whose head sculpt I like much better, something about Bisk weirds me out for some reason). Hope I get a shot at him before too long.

Seibertron's one and only chuckdawg1999 is at it again! This time, he brings us a review of G2 RID Combiner Force Hyper Change Thunderhoof. Check out Chuck's quick review of this sturdy figure and let us know if you plan on picking this one up via online retail (as Chuck did) or hunting for him in the wild.

Finally, I was starting worry that these guys were gonna get cancelled.

Amazon now has new stock images of:

Crash Combiners Dragstrip and Wildbreak
Crash Combiners Lunar Force Optimus Prime and Strongarm
Crash Combiners Shockdrive and Warnado

These should be coming out soon, let us know if ever you find them in stores either in our sightings section or sightings forum. Enjoy the images below.

Finally, the return of my favourite character: Lunar Force Blizzard Strike Battle Core Magnus.

Warnado.

WARNADO.

That's the best name we've had in recent years.

Wait.

Wait.

WAIT!!

Lobster Bisk(Bisque) and Lobster Thermidor?! WHERE'S LEGO BATMAN?! IT'S HIS FAVORITE!!

I'm sorry if that has already been discussed, I just found it extra hilarious just right now.

I'll definitely pick up Bludgeon..and probably Thermidor too

The addition of a knee joint would've made these crash combiners a lot more interesting to play with.

What kind of vehicle is that blue one that comes with the police car?

Ugh Dragstrip and Wildbreak's colors are switched. (Therefore each of of them has the wrong head)

That would explain why Wildbreak has the G1 Dragstrip alt mode instead of both sharing the same car and why their positions on the combiner are switched.

Btw i've tried TRU Singapore website as well as BBTS, Kapow, Smyth's Toys, Hamleys, Amazon, Ebay, The Chosen Prime, Robotkingdom & The Entertainer for Thermidor(either in stock or preorder) but sadly....no joy

A truck, the combiner chest plate just isn't flipped back.

Why is Prime a Decepticon?

Its a repaint of this truck you see on the right

It's probably a mistake.
