Transformers Tiny Titans Blind-Bagged Wave 2 Sighted at US Retail

Va'al wrote:Fellow Seibertronian and Twincaster ScottyP reports a new sighting of the second wave of Transformers Tiny Titans blind bags, from the Target in Raleigh, NC, at $2.49 a piece. As with recent blind bagged toys, there seems to be no system to determine what you'll get, but the full line-up, including RID and more, can be found here.

If you come across these in your area, don't hesitate to use the Seibertron.com Sightings section and local forums to help other collectors!

Yup, found these last week at my Super•Target in Nashville.

There is a tiny, rectangular apx. 8x3mm clear window on the back of the pack. If you get one and refer to the checklist card that comes with it, you can utilize this window and some pack-mangling to figure out what's inside.

Ditto, they've been in Target and Toys R Us stores at least a week or two. There is a very easy way to find out which figure is in the pouch: feel the shape of the figure through the pouch.

Gutted . I'm the 50% it worked for so far...

Depends on which ones you're looking for... some are so fat they can't make it to the window, or they share the same colours

This is why morning toy hunting is bad, should have noticed that! The case they had sitting there had 22 bags (in other words, 2 had sold or peaced out onto another part of the shelves) but I figured if I just bought them all there was no way I wouldn't get all 12. Nope. The two missing bags were both Jazz, but at least now I know a good way to look for just him next time I see these!

I hate blind bags, its one thing if you have people to trade with but when its just you getting doubles & triples suck. If there was a way to ID these guys 100% id pick a few up but since theres not i have to pass.

They're super cheap on Ebay, and you can pick which ones you want

I wonder how Unicron will look. Maybe Hasbro will make him the size of a golfball or a bowling ball so that they all are up to scale.

Oo, I can't wait to spend all my money getting two of almost evey figure

In hand pics/review of Wave 3 - http://lmb3.net/2015/04/23/blog-873-toy ... erno-whee/

Filch's robot mode is seen.

G1 Doublecross has been renamed "Autobot Twinferno".

A blog posting from lmb3.net has revealed Series 3 of transformers Tiny Titans, and thanks to Seibertronian Sabrblade notification we get to see his in hand pics! Included in the 12 figure series are:
-Drift
-Filch
-Fixit
-Fracture
-Beast Wars Megatron
-Optimus Prime
-Repugnus
-Shockwave
-Springload
-Twinferno
-Wheeljack
-Wreck-Gar

Keep scrolling to see the pics, and if you fancy a look at the first Tiny Titans have a look at our exclusive Seibertron Galleries. Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

Personally, I'm hoping this means we'll be seeing the Monsterbots at some point in the future.

Twinferno wins the rename game.

Me too, I want that Hun-Gurrr redeco!

I just hope the next two-headed bot isn't called "Twin-"something. Looking at you Doubleheader.

Twitchythe3rd wrote:Twinferno wins the rename game.

Poor guy. My guess now is that Grotusque will end up being Autobot Bill.

Mkall wrote:Personally, I'm hoping this means we'll be seeing the Monsterbots at some point in the future.

I could definitely go for that. Doublecross in particular is one of those G1 characters whose toy I don't have but am a really big fan of aesthetically.

id pick up doublecross & repugnus but im not going to be buying pack after pack hoping to get the 2 that i want. I really hate blind packs.

1) I don't care how cheap these are, they look terrible.
2) I like that we get to see Filch's robot mode clearly from this card. However, it makes me only want her as a Warrior-class toy even more.
3) Repugnus and "Twinferno" being included in here has me truly hopeful that this is foreshadowing a future Deluxe-scale or larger appearance for these figures in the Generations line.
4) God, these are ugly.
5) Springload is such an awesome and unique idea for a Transformer that I cannot fathom why he doesn't have a Warrior-class toy in the works. But, then again, I keep saying that about pretty much all of the Decepticons from RID15.

Repugnus and Grotusque are easily trademarked since they aren't real words and Hasbro made them up. Doublecross (and Doubleheader) is a little trickier being a common word.

Card art is awesome. I really like it. The actual tiny Titans? Man, no. That's a waste of money for me. They kinda look worse than wave one. Wave one was ok.

i kind of like the cards better than the figures and we finally know what filches robot mode looks like. i hope a lot of these designs actually end up in show except beast wars megatron for obvious reasons

None of the G1 designs will cuz, well, they're G1.

wreck gar has the worst paint apps of all of them

Ultra Markus wrote:wreck gar has the worst paint apps of all of them

Agreed. Doesn't look anything like him.

anybody who is buying this stuff.... somebody really needs to sit you down and have serious words.

I liked robot heroes, and is support Hasbro in most endeavours, but this is utter dog youknowwhat

defnialty be made to be put int o happy meal toy for boy

Wow. I wonder if the internet existed back in 1984, would people have moaned about decoys too?

Podcaster extraordinaire Scotty P has pointed us towards a new listing on Entertainment Earth for Wave 5 of the blind bagged Tiny Titans line. This Robots in Disguise line is made up of small plastic figures which reference mainly the Robots in Disguise show but also characters from the G1 era.

This wave consists of:

Optimus Prime
Steeljaw
Windblade
Chromia
Thunderhoof
Perceptor
Jazz
Strongarm
Blaster
Drift
"King" Starscream
Octopunch

If this is the only way for Octopunch to get a toy, then so be it.

I think there will be other ways. Same for Filch and the shark (really want a warrior of that toy!).

Unless you're referring to more nontransformable toys for Octopunch, I sincerely doubt any of Hasbro's assortments of transformable RID toys would be able to feasibly make a transforming Octopunch toy that both looked good and did the character design justice, considering how unorthodox Octopunch's design is:

Octopunch is my speculation that I sent to news crew for the thing in the lower left and not confirmed. RiD 2015 Octopunch is the only thing I could think of that remotely looks like that.

ScottyP wrote:Octopunch is my speculation that I sent to news crew for the thing in the lower left and not confirmed. RiD 2015 Octopunch is the only thing I could think of that remotely looks like that.

It does look like him. I can make out four tentacles as feet and two as arms like Octopunch has.

I keep hoping they do Grotusque, Swindle, Sunstreaker, Rodimus, and Arcee before this line ends. If only so I can get the RiD-stylized versions of these characters in card art.

Given his speech patterns, I'd say Octopunch is VERY Orthodox. Hey-o!

But I thought the same thing about Springload and the crab and they got transforming toys.

Springload's toy got his altmode wrong and cheated on his hind legs, and Clampdown's toy doesn't have actual claws.

Not to mention that, unlike Octopunch, those two don't have gooey stretchy bodies, so they're more doable.

Notice the final sentence in my post that reads "and did the character design justice".

Fellow Seibertronian Survivefan23 has pointed us towards a new listing on Toy Wiz for Wave 6 of the blind bagged Tiny Titans line. This Robots in Disguise line is made up of small plastic figures which reference mainly the Robots in Disguise show but also characters from the G1 era and now even Beast Machines.

This wave consists of: Sky-Byte, Acid Storm, Beast Machines Cheetor, Minitron, Blurr, Alpha Trion/Thundertron/??, RID Optimus Prime with G1 Prime's gun, Unicron, G1 Grimlock, Crazybolt, Barrage and RID Bumblebee.

Barrage is a particular deep cut. Notice how I am completely unsure of the bearded one with the blue cape. It could be one of the Primes revealed in this season of Robots in Disguise (Alpha Trion?). If you have an idea of who that is, or if we made a mistake on any of these, please let us know in the comments.

These seem like cheaper Robot Heroes...

The white and blue winged guy between IDW Blurr and RID Optimus is nagging me over who he is. I feel like I've seen him before, but not in that exact design. I honestly can't think of who he is.

I prefer the Robot Heroes, I wish they would bring them back. I kinda liked them. The paint on these guys is horrible and bugs me a lot.

I'm getting that feeling, but I think it's just a few elements reminding me of a Sweep. The claw feet don't fit that. Not Tigerhawk?

It's gotta be someone with a big pointy helmet and wings/capes. If it's any of the Binder/Covenant designs, Liege Maximo might be a candidate, but the blue and white instead of green, and some of the toy's finer details, throw that off.

That unidentified Transformer reminds me of that one Prime toy which wasn't in the show but had that nice beard.

Rainmaker wrote:That unidentified Transformer reminds me of that one Prime toy which wasn't in the show but had that nice beard.

Yeah, Thundertron, he's mentioned in the news post.

Doesn't look like a beard to me at all, just a part of his chest that sticks up in the front. His head his turned to the left and you can see his mouth while the "beard" is still forward.

It's possible One of the Decepticons have gotten an upgrade, not just Optimus. Stelljaw perhaps? That would explain why he looks familiar.

Remember that the paint is horrible, there might be a beard but it might not be painted
