Video Review for Transformers: Robots in Disguise Combiner Force Legion Twinferno

I thought Legion Twinferno was reviewed a long time ago. Had I realized I would've put mine up yesterday, lol. It's a good figure. Here it is for those interested.

The Robots in Disguise wave of warrior class figures including Thermidor and Bludgeon has finally hit the US, half a year after this final wave hit the rest of the world. It is great news though since final waves usually suffer from lack of proper distribution due to retailers preferring to stock a new line.
This particular sighting comes from MegaX Master who found Robots in Disguise Thermidor and Bludgeon at Walmart in Rifle Colorado.
For those curious to see what these toys are all about, or for those hesitant about purchasing these, we have a pictorial review of Bludgeon and Thermidor.

There is only one of each of these in every case of eight figures. These two have been highly anticipated by Americans who really hoped not to have to resort to the secondary market so please post your findings in the sightings section and sightings forum.

One in every case? Ugh, Bludgeon’s gunna be hard to find...

Willy J, I could kiss you right now.

I really like that Bludgeon figure but it's a shame he, Twinferno and Stormshot wasn't on the show, I'm kind of sick of Transformer toylines not delivering the characters that are actually on screen and giving us cool looking characters who are not on the show.

I'm not asking for the one episode characters...which this toyline had a couple such as Blastwave who doesn't even look like he does on the show but where are better figures of recurring characters such as Underbite and Clampdown? Or proper Stunticons?!

I would prefer it to be like the first couple Movie toylines that had all the film characters (Bar some Contructicons at a scale beyond legends) with additional Toyline only characters that "shared" a line with screen characters and not replaced some of them.

If your toy commercial tv shows can't have characters that have figures then don't bother making them in the show at all.

With the ending of any Transformers toyline, there's always the worry that line-ending waves (and any new figures in said waves) will be hard to find or in some cases, won't be found at all. In the particular case of the Robots in Disguise line, the final waves of Legion-class figures, distribution has been spotty at best, but thankfully, seems to be making it to more and more markets. Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Prismartyr, we can report that Legion-class Twinferno has made his way down under to Australia! He sent us some in-package and in-hand images featuring the tiny dragon-headed/handed Autobot, found at a Coles store in Lisarow, New South Wales.







Have any of you found Twinferno or other line-ending figures in your corners of the world? If so, please take a moment to note your sightings here, on our sightings page, and in your own, local, sightings forums!

The holiday season is almost over for many countries and cultures (though we have yet to enter the lunar calendar festivities, of course) but in a number of lagging, lapsed, or observant Catholic communities the Epiphany is just round the corner - meaning that Italy has a whole new holiday to gear up for on the commercial front, with the tradition of Befana (a witch-like character who brings sweets and coal to nice and naughty children respectively on the night between 5th and 6th January), and stockings are currently in shops next to the sale of Christmas merch, also including Transformers Robots in Disguise-themed goods!

The images below come from a variety of shops in the country (Carrefour, Coop, Conad, Esselunga) but are almost entirely distributed by Walcor's, much like the advent calendar we reported on here, and also include two mugs filled with chocolates, with prints of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. Check it out!

Greetgins all,

This is kind of a break-in conversation form another thread, but it applies more here thabn in the PotP thread, so I wanted to keep things OT.

basically, I'm nto a fan of the RiD15 line, but I'm not here to bash it, I just want some objective opinons and comparisons. I've had a few figures suggested as shining examples of how Rid15 was, but they are characters I have no desire to own, so the only thing I can do is compare...

I'd like to get an honest comparison between---- Transformers Titans Return Twinferno & Rid15 Twinferno -which overall is better? and why would you say so... (I own TR Twinferno, and I think it is a great toy, I saw RiD15 Twinferno yesterday, and wasn't really impressed based on what I saw in the package)

Same for Windblade. Although I've only seen Rid Windblade up close at B&M, its a nice way to compare two versions of the same character. If a fan could only choose one, why would they pick one over the other?

We'll start with your first question: Twinferno. The TR one is far superior to the RiD one. The RiD one is the simplist warrior from the line and is not as heavy as the others. He also does a bit less, and the main fun thing from him are the flame accessories. Now that's not to say I don't like him, as he's made a great ceiling fan cling, but the TR one is more involved and more fun overall.



As for Windblade, I personally think her TR figure is the best of the 3 so far, though the warrior is no slouch, and you have the 2 options of regular Windblade and faceplate Windblade (I have the regular. She transforms pretty much the same as the TR one with some slightly different leg transformations, and she holds together nicely, can pose, and can stand. Her sword is very boring though, the T30 and TR Windblade having better weapons. So with Windblade, between TR and RiD, you can't really go wrong.

As for other figures in the line, Thunderhoof is great, one of my new favorite Decepticons thanks to the show, and he has a great figure. Fracture is a standout figure from any of the recent lines, and him being a bike with a giant rifle makes up for him being slightly lighter than the rest of the figures. Quillfire and Bisk and their repaints are great figures that are very unique and are fun in every respect. Ratchet makes for a pretty good generations Ratchet, and he is standing on my LL shelf with Drift. Drift is also a pretty decent figure, though the best (which I never got but wanted to) was his Takara one with a new head based on IDW's design. Bludgeon and Megatronus are also very decent tank formers who have great robot modes, fun tank modes, and some fun transformations.

You should give some of the RiD guys a try, there are some gems that were better than any CW deluxes and most of the TR guys too

Everything about the RID line is about originality. Design, characters and transformations. So it really shines most when the characters are new. So for characters like Windblade and Twinferno, even though they arent bad they are not the best either. The titans return version for both of those characters is better.

Here is a review for RID Twinferno : https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... ise/38894/

And here is a review for TR windblade which compares her to all windblades in the past: https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... ade/39067/

To truly enjoy the RID line and get the most out of it, you have to check out the new characters.

And only stick with either the Legion class, warrior class or Battle pack class.
