I think I like the looks of that Windblade better than the Gen. version.
And now I think I get those block head minicons, They're supposed to be hammers, yah?

Wouldnt Battle Core Prime be better for Nova?

This guy looks more like the type to turn into Thunderclash since he has that colour scheme going on.

I actually did repaint my BC Optimus into Nova Prime!

Truth be told, I'm just a big fan of Nova Prime and I think he's severely underrepresented in terms of figures, and I think he's a fun repaint.

That Windblade does look very good. she has a little bit bigger legs and she looks better proportioned and I love it! She is a buy!

And I cannot wait for minicon weapons. So much want! :MAXIMAL:

Not really. I saw that it was common that there were some bits that just didn't want to stay put in either mode (like the heels) that made the figure a bit fiddly and a bit difficult at times, but is wasn't bad though by any stretch. I still like her, but she's not as fun to transform and try to stand as others :MAXIMAL:

Meh, guess I'm the only one that has no problems with her; I will say that the thigh design on her is total garbage, those little ornamental prongs near her pelvis just trash her poseabillity :BANG_HEAD:

I wasn't the biggest fan of Generations Windblade due to issues with her mold. The figure looks nice in robot mode, the jet mode looks good with the exception of the noticeable feet. It's the posability and the issues with her heels that make the toy a bit frustrating to handle.

There are already Reprolabels to turn BC OP into Thunderclash, Nova Prime and Ultra Magnus.
And I think the new Power Surge OP works perfectly as Nova because of his wings. Hopefully TT turns this one into Nova instead of Nemesis.

Some new news for the Transformers Robots in Diguise line, too, in the smaller class of Legion figures. Thanks to the German branch of online retailer Amazon, we have a look at official photography of the known Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime, and new reveal Ratchet - which shares a lot of similarities to his Prime design, and could indicate a return of the grumpy medic to the screen. Let us know what you think in the Energon pub!

You know, if this is true, I'm pretty sure that Fixit will get a chance to meet his own predecessor for the first time, since that he, too, is also a medic. :BOT:

When Ultra Magnus got a Legion toy, his artwork was a recolored version of that toy's Optimus Prime art (with UM head added). The fact that Ratchet gets his own design in the artwork is very intriguing.

Notice how the box art design is completely different from the toy's?

I think there is a good chance that Ratchet can return since he chose to stay on Earth yes I know he came back to Cybertron for Predacons rising but it was an emergency and I'm pretty sure he went back afterwards

I bought a RiD toy.
Image
He's small for a Legions, his mouth won't close, his little legs are nearly useless for any kind of support (such as the above pose), and his car has a big hole in the back
Image
And it's rather depressing that this is the same size class that gave us the Dreads, the Terrorcons, and the highly articulated Fixit; and people will inevitably lose his eyes and legs.... But I guess Clampdown's alright.

We have a whole slew of new toy images for upcoming produts from the Transformers Robots in Disguise line. While some of these were previously seen as CG renders, these are pictures of the actual toys.

German wesbite Brandora has product images for Robots in Disguise Stealthsaurus Rex Grimlock. The stealth mode refers to him having the same colour pattern as the Stealth Bumblebee deco but this time on the Three Step Grimlock.

Amazon.ca has images for Titan Gardian Strongarm and Grimlock.

Hasbro Poland has the official toy images for the upcoming minicons Scorch Strike Jetstorm, Ransack, and Glacius, who are all part of the 4th wave of minicons.

That would be great if these cost $5, but they don't. I think my local stores sell these for $20. You can actually buy deluxe transformers that, you know, transform for $5 less.

I just don't get the point of the shampoo bottles. They can't transform. They don't have the increased articulation that non-transforming Transformers often have. They don't have the increase in accuracy, sculpture and paintwork that minimally articulated figures often have. And they aren't even that cheap. If they were hugely poseable or gorgeously painted or extremely cartoon accurate or only £2 I might understand. But as is? There is literally no point to getting them over a Warrior class figure or even a one-step. I'm no economist, but there is absolutely no way that continuing to make these...things makes any sense for Hasbro. It decreases the budget they have for other lines and it takes up space on store shelves that could be used by stuff that will actually sell.

I weep for the ignorance on these boards regarding these "shampoo bottles". These arent Transfomers toys aside from having that branding. In reality, they are part of a bigger line called Titans from Hasbro which sells ridiculously well for 4 year olds, and are made of vynyl so that kids dont get hurt:

Image

Image

Image

They are found in all Hasbro brands and this is what sells most under the Marvel umbrella. No reason Hasbro wouldnt try that success with another one of its monster brands. This isnt new and its been arond for a while and selling, and the world hasnt ended and Hasbro is still making traditional Transformers for you. No need to whine at something you dont understand and that isnt made for you!

They roughly share an altmode silhouette, but are otherwise different in every way.

(I guess the animation model of the "gun ball" mode may homage Dead End. My tinfoil hat theory is that the chaotic Cyclones (and only them, since we know normal Aligned Mini's are born like regular tfs) might tie into the Armada idea of Minicons being born of Unicron.)

Didnt this also happen with the entirety of the Beast Hunters line?

Not that I know of. They just remolded all the molds to make Mad Max autobots with the typical Bee repaint. Nothing like different themed minicon groups :MAXIMAL:

Let's get some earth, wind and heart minicons ;)^


Heart Minicons? What element is heart, the element of love?

Oh come on, you're older than me but you don't recognize a Captain Planet reference when you see one?

There was a shadow stike bumblee in the prime line. And don't forget the various blizzard strike RID warrior redcos.

The only captain planet i know is the one by Don Cheadle. I guess he wasnt that popular in Canada. Unlike Ms Frizzle and the magic schoolbus.

The Point Glarryg was making was that the RID line has turned into a bunch of redecos. And I was saying thats pretty much what the Prime line became in beasthunters. Sure, there was some remolding but it was basically using the same molds and selling them again under a different theme.

"some remolding":ImageImage

But on the topic of RiD - it seems a lot like these camo decos are simply a reason to keep the existing cast on the shelves while focusing more on Decepticons. It allows Hasbro to put "new" Autobot toys on the shelves (and we always need new Autobot toys on the shelves) while putting design/engineering focus into the S1 and S2 Decepticons.

Yes, but, it was all the same single theme rather than all the characters getting several redecos based on a set number of multiple themes, which is what his post read more to me as referring to.
