New Galleries: Robots In Disguise Hyperchange Sideswipe and Clash of the Transformers Hyperchange Bumblebee and Optimus Prime

I personally find that black and red Optimus to be very appealing. It looks very nice

And with only a couple of weeks left the the season finale, for the US at least, of Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Seibertron.com is proud to present an entirely unrelated gallery of one of the characters newly reintroduced to the TFverse in this iteration: Megatronus, in the 5-Step exclusive to Toys'R'Us Clash of the Transformers figure! Click on any of the images below to view the full gallery, as usual, and let us know what you make of this toy in the Energon Pub.

I know the warrior was announced, but it needs to be revealed and come out. I am notoriously impatient

They've already done the reveals for the rest of the year, so next set of reveals will be later at some point

Oh, yeah, I need me an awesome Thunderhoof, like, last week. If I never get one, tables will be flipped so hard, Prowl will be impressed

It's okay, I'm kinda the same way right now about UW Devy.
Anyways I think it would be cool if Takara made a Megatronus in the same class as that giant Optimus Prime they made.

WHAT'S THE FRIGGIN DEAL!?

no knees?
no poseablity?
no accuracy to scale or show?
weaponry is a joke.
did the makers just say "who gives a crud? kids don't notice anyway."

what the eff?

That's basically it, some corporate guy thought that to counter 'overly complex' transformations, was to remove them altogether

So much more potential in this mold then is utilized. I really dig this design and was planning on getting the Warrior version- Oh wait a second, that never existed despite being listed.

That should be the tag line for this series: 'You like that character? Forget it, their not gonna get a figure'

That would explain why we've got so many toys of characters I dislike immensely. I'm looking at you 'Bee.

It wouldn't be half as bad, if they would just scrap that easy-junk line


But, imagine, we're getting to a point where we can say 'when I was your age, we only had one bumblebee figure, and that had a waverunner!'

I like Bumblebee, but he's overrated. Personally I think characters like Blurr should get more love.

Hopefully he does come out as a warrior. And I do believe some characters need more time in the spotlight. There are other kid-appeal characters out there (looking at you hot shot, cheetor and Smokescreen)

Agreed, whatever happened to Hot Shot?

We need Hot Shot to return

He does.



And he is the best-developed Blurr we've ever gotten in cartoon form.

HAHA yes! forgot about him! different styled, but he is a great character

When we say Titan, the first thing that comes to mind is Titan Class figures, such as Metroplex or Devastator, of course, but we all seem to forget that there are figures labeled as Titans. Those are the ones the fandom refers to as "Garden Gnome Optimus Prime" or "Oh, those shampoo bottle plastic statues!"

We older fans and collectors seem to find these figures unappealing due to what they are, and that's understandable considering they carry the name Transformers, but don't actually do what the name implies. Kids, on the other hand, sometimes just want an Optimus Prime figure who can stand there and look cool while beating up his sister's Ken doll and what better way to do that than with an Optimus Prime figure that's all ready to go into battle?

Some fans and kids want a figure that's nice and easy to Transform, a desk toy that's just enough of a time killer to get through our monotonous days and Hasbro has finally come to the rescue! Titan Changers! Easy enough for kids to learn and master, while being quick and easy, not to mention affordable, for those of us who want to tinker and play, but don't really have the time or opportunity.

Which leads us to our newest Seibertron.com galleries!

Robots In Disguise Titan Changers Bumblebee and Optimus Prime!

Click on the images below to be taken to the respective galleries of this fearsome duo and then come on back to the forums to share your thoughts with the rest of us.

Transformers: Robots In Disguise (2015) Optimus Prime










Transformers: Robots In Disguise (2015) Bumblebee









Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

If only a little bit more paint had been used. they actually don't look too bad

Loving the intro to that story so much. Really hitting the nail on the head

The sad thing is we assume kids have no taste in toys, meanwhile the last time I was in the TF aisle kids eyes were glued to the generations/combiner wars figures. I had a chance to ask one such half-ling what they thought of the RID line and they said they wished TF Prime was still around instead.

They may have meant the design or the show. Hasbro's current endeavours are from overwhelming feedback that the toys had gotten far too complex in the movie era. They are curently trying to find their footing I guess.

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Loving the intro to that story so much. Really hitting the nail on the head

Yeah, he did a great job. Way better than what I would have done. I would have referred to these as the Action Master Elites of our era which would have gone over many heads.

So Hasbro finally figured out how to get me to buy these Titan figures that I have excluded from my collection. Make 'em transform, and I'll do galleries of them!

Much better than I expected, both in terms of sculpt and in terms of having at least SOME articulation, but I don't need yet another Optimus and Bumblebee.

They make something along the lines of a Steeljaw or Grimlock at this size, I'm sold. (Or a Strongarm, but they hardly ever make female Transformers larger than a Deluxe.)

Thanks guys.

I just ordered one of those overscale (part metal 18cm/7"inch tall) Warrior Grimlock toys - I'll let you know what it's like when it arrives.

Shame I don't have the original RID-15 Grimlock to compare it to though.

Another week, another addition to our ever-growing galleries here on Seibertron.com - and we move to Japan again, and the Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure line (counterpart to Hasbro's Robots in Disguise) for a look at two slightly different decos on Generations Combiner Wars figures: TAV25 Runabout and TAV26 Override!

The latter is an homage to the Triggerbot of old, and a blue/red deco on Generations Legends Groove. The other figure is of course calling back to the Battlecharger from 1986, using its red and black scheme of the Blackjack mold. Click on any of the images below to view the full galleries!


Transformers Adventures Override










Transformers Adventures Runabout

No pictures of them as chest minions?

I look forward to seeing Runabout merged with Grand Scourge sometime.

Gee I wonder which side he belongs to.

Really though, Runabout looks good, but I'd have to wipe off most of those badges if I ever got him. Either a big one on the hood -OR- the two on the doors, not both (much less another three on top of that).

They both look real nice. Good repaints there!

Decepticon Sunstorm wrote:No pictures of them as chest minions?

I second this question. Were's the pics with Override as Defensors bra?

Aww, no gunes for Override? I'm not too surprised since the original version lacks any weapons at ALL, but it feels like a really poor homage without some nice chromey pistols.

RAcast wrote:Aww, no gunes for Override? I'm not too surprised since the original version lacks any weapons at ALL, but it feels like a really poor homage without some nice chromey pistols.

Well the original Groove design had no weapons, so not too big of a surprise

Got Override in the mail last week, and I really dig that little figure. I love the paint job on him, and I haven't had any problem with loose joints that I've heard at least one or two other people having.

No plans to do them with the Combiners ... maybe when I do the Unite Warriors combiners, but not at this time.

If we're getting Runabout.....then where's Runamuck?


+ Why are they porting two molds(Groove, Blackjack/Rodimus) over to RID? I can't see them running out of ideas for figures already? especially when there's still a ton of Decepticons that still could be released in toy form.

& those two molds other feature to become a chestpiece would be a non plus! as they wouldn't be able to work that way with existing &/or current RID figures

RAR wrote:I look forward to seeing Runabout merged with Grand Scourge sometime.

He looks much better when attached to Menasor since his colors are more closely based on Menasor's roller car than Blackjack's colors are.

Takara put every CW Legends class toy in their Adventure line because they're selling the Combiners as five-packs in Unite Warriors to be as show-accurate as possible. Menasor and Defensor only had five members, not six, and none of them were chestplates. So Takara threw all of the Legends class molds (Powerglide, Shrapnel, Bombshell, Cosmos, and these two) into the Adventure line where they are officially ignoring any and all playability between them and the Combiners.

Oh right, thanks

We still need Runamuck though

Stuartmaximus wrote:We still need Runamuck though

Definitely! I'm surprised when they do one but not the other. I'd still be game for a white Runamuck from the Cybertron Runabout figure (screwed-up names aside). Kudos again to the Club for doing them both from the Wheeljack/Tracks mold a few years back. Two excellent figures!

Aye either repaint the Blackjack/Rodimus figure, I was gonna suggest the Windcharger figure! but Runabout & Runamuck are twins, so obviously they'd need to go with the same mold

The Legends Groove redeco I want is G2 Bulletbike.

It's a shame that they didn't give Override a pair of chromed guns to go along with his G1 counterpart ... these would have worked well for Bulletbike.

I'd like to see Backstreet and Dogfight done now as Legends.
