For everyone living outside the US, Easter is synomymous with seasonal giant Kinder Surprise eggs found in all grocery and big box stores. The surprise in the eggs is usually region/country specific and while Italy had Robots in Diguise themed prizes in 2016, in 2017 it is the UK getting RID themed eggs and toys. These toys are different than the 2016 Italy ones and come with either Optimus or Bumblebee with a projectile weapon. A video of an unboxing can be found here, and screenshots were taken and copied below.
The eggs cost between £5 and £10 and Asda has them at three for £10. They have also been found at B&M by TFW member dacamper who took images of the box, which are also found below.
For those in the US wondering what this is all about and why you are specifically excluded, it's because these chocolate eggs which have a surprise inside are not FDA approved and selling them, importing them and possessing them is illegal. The potential fine is US$2,500 per egg "smuggled" into the US from neighbouring countries (ie Canada). For everyone else, and especially UK TF fans, I wish you a lot of chocolate Kinder goodness this season!

Had one of these yesterday. The chocolate is nice but the figures are solid figures with no articulation. Nothing worth getting excited about.

Or you could say 'travestimento' but I thought that sounded to kinky for a kids line.

No, the brand is Transformers where Hasbro is concerned.
Same for Robots in Disguise. We just get extra subtitles/sub-headings.
Long gone are the days of unnecessary brand translation. And boy am I glad.
*glares at the leader of the Maximals Blackjack, from the Biocombat series*
Maschera and travestimento mean more or less the same thing (the former can also be for mask specifically), and the latter has nothing to do with what you're suggesting it might mean.

I WAS JOKING ( Just saying)
But actually it does seem to mean exactly what I was joking about it meaning*; Trans-vestments to change or Transform clothing - the implication in English is with gender bending *(Transvestism) - but the Italian word means the literally the same to 'change vestments' (clothes) it's just the implication is one of disguise and not implicitly cross-dressing.
If however it could be used to imply that* I'd have to leave to native Italian speakers to judge.
It's not always easy to say as some words are words that sound "Foreign" but are not ones that would be understood to have any recognisable meaning in said place - for example 'Decolletage' is meaningless to most French people. or it means "Screw Cutting" - not at all what the English word means.

When we got all the Beast wars toys in the UK they had Bio-combat being the main logos all the time. But seeing it's got local text on that should TF RID be in the text too. Japan do have Transformers in english then they have masterforce or super god form warriors in japan text.

TF RID is the brand name. Brand names have stopped being localised, for the most part.
The Italian text just says: surprises inside, milk chocolate.

With March Madness upon us, it seems Transformers has decided to get in on the fun! A new Robots in Disguise commercial was shown off on their Facebook feed, and features Crash Combiners Sideswipe and Bumblebee, Activator Combiner Strongarm, and Warrior Soundwave doing some fun stuff with the sport of Basketball. Check out the video below!

He's pretty great. I put him on that top tier of awesome Decepticons from the line. His bot mode has that great evil brooding posture to it. The parts formy nature of his pincers is strange, but they don't detach, and in the end it works well and makes for an interesting transformation.Black Hat wrote:Topic: Is Scorponok worth picking up?

Me too - and Bisk and Scatterspike - I don't know yet what the case stuffers are for the Thermidor/Bludgeon wave - but I suspect there is at least a chance some of the wave might show up - if only by judging what Toyfair Australia had on their displays.
When BBTS or someone puts that case pre-order up I guess I'll know but as is I think I may have to just order them on Amazon (reluctantly) or import them some other way - I had the same problem with not being able to get half of the Predacons Rising or Clash of the Transformers stuff either.
I'm especially irked by not having that black and red Optimus warrior class or the alternative Megatronus & Grey/blue sideswipe.

The Mini-cons in general have been a joy so far. I've got Sandsting, Ratbat and Divebomb and even with their minimal articulation they're just so much fun. I need to get myself a Dragonus, a Back and possibly an Airrazor (if I can get one separately). Maybe even Glacius and Swelter. Hell, I want them all!
I dunno. Teeny tiny robots scratch a very specific itch.

Eh, my main problem is that he can't do anything. If he could move his arms and head a little or if he could turn into some sort of accessory for a larger figure. And I don't mean a vaguely torpedo-esque shape being fired underwhelmingly by a brick.
It's why I want the Weaponiser version. Sure he's got a weird edgy new colour scheme going on, but dammit, he can be a gun for Bruticus now!

All the deployers that were readily available (Drift in either color, Fracture, and Overload) have been super cheap, as stated above $9 recently on Amazon & HTS, though I don't think they are there now, but yu can probably find them by other means relatively inexpensively.
Carzybolt on the other hand...ugh....why he was never released in the U.S. still puzzles me to this day, as is the case with *most* Cyclones.

Crazybolt and the weaponizers are a sore point for me. I really wanted them but could never see them

I wasn't that miffed about the Weaponizers not showing up in the states, or at least my part, until I saw the show.
I had to pester some random Canadian dude to find them for me.
I'm very thankful for random Canadians.

agreed 100%. I wonder why that is part of the reason why they don't have packed-in toy catalogues anymore 9well as well as a cost-cutting measure and the prolific nature of the internet).
But as futile as it seems, I can distinctly remember in the 80's, whether I collected them or not, seeing pretty much EVERY Transformer, GI Joe, MOTU etc... at some point in a store. Now, there is a good chance some might not even be released in a particular region or country.
Its even more frustrating when you go to Hasbro's website, all the product descriptions are there, then you get this: "this product is not available for purchase in your area"....and I'm like...why? And Hasbro customer service has no intelligent answer to this question.
I actually called asked them why they had dozens of Combiner Wars box sets collecting dust on toys shelves in Canada, when they could sell well in the United States...I got put on hold and disconnected.

Thanks to Cobo, the previous discussion about a more mature Transformers cartoon has been given its own topic.

Well there are some Crazybolts around in the UK - but the postage to USA/Canada etc.. would be pretty expensive if sent boxed. it's probably nearly as cheap to buy a Japanese one.

So I just got the new rid windblade (with the face mask) to custom into something else, but I absolutely love it! It's actually a good figure with an amazing deco. And while combiner hunters windblade will remain my definitive windblade. This new girl, Wingsaber (duh), will be a happy addition to my fembots.

With the added bonus of the Takara one actually looking like how the character is supposed to look like.o.supreme wrote:RAR wrote:Well there are some Crazybolts around in the UK - but the postage to USA/Canada etc.. would be pretty expensive if sent boxed. it's probably nearly as cheap to buy a Japanese one.

He's a Handsome wee Beastie in Car mode - bit odd in beast mode - but the car is lovely - accurate or not I think the Hasbro one is sexy looking in car mode especially after some minor attacking with a paint brush on the wheels etc... There is an appealing almost Lockdown like aspect to it.
I guess the best I could do for an American/Canadian on a western one is about £24.00 shipped in it's box in a box - bit less if the box is just wrapped in brown paper and bubble wrap and a lot less if sent loose.
I can probably get a couple though - as could other people they are about especially in B&M

It's kind of a conundrum....I actually like the look of the car mode on the Hasbro one more, but why the *beast mode* transform design for the mouth is different from the TT one is so weird to me.
With Hasbro you get a white Hammer mini-con (I already have the individual Orange Hammer)
With TT you get a green Ransack (which I don't have, but I do have 2 backtracks...) man this is confusing...
My son is actually the one who likes the deployers and mini-cons. But its such a cluster the more I look into it. The first 2 waves, everything was fine. Then with all the cyclones we had the issue of not finding most them, then 4-packs that were mostly repaints, but some we didn't have, then the show going way out in left field with "Slicedice"...yeah, its not fun.
