New Galleries: Robots In Disguise Legion Class Ultra Magnus, Night Ops Bumblebee, Patrol Strongarm

Ha, Red Alert Sideswipe is a fun lil figure. I'm tempted to nab mini UM every time I see him, but I wish he had more than just paint apps that were unique.

Kind of crazy how much of a difference this is compared to the last ime we had legion Ultra Magnus toys in a show series. Last time, not only did we get an optimus retool (and a nice retool at that) but we also had another one which was a complete new mold!



And now we just get a redeco.

I'm digging that Red Alert Sideswipe. May have to pick him up eventually. Still waiting on the wave 3 and 4 minicons and Crazybolt though...

Not that it matters but aren't those Cyberverse figures?

But yes, I agree some of the legion figures are not created equally.

Cyberverse had two Classes: Legion and the bigger Commander, with the latter no longer in use. Those figures up there are Commander Class.

Yeah, they are cyberverse and this RID LEgion class is what replaced the cyberverse figures.


Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Cyberverse Bumblebee Gallery

Our latest Seibertron.com galleries come from the Transformers: Robots in Disguise series, and its One-Step simplified sub-line, making us reach the second milestone in such a short time frame - over 400.000 images uploaded!

The galleries, which you can access below by clicking on any of the images, feature Decepticons Springload, Quillfire, but also Patrol Mode Strongarm, Gold Armor Grimlock, Bumblebee and Sidewsipe. Check them out!

That G1 redeco grimlock looks atrocious. Grey can be a paint application and it can look good, but here it just ends up looking like the unpainted plastic that it is.

springload looks pretty good actually.

Fellow Seibertronians, we bring you 6 new galleries today, including: Robots In Disguise 1-Step Bisk, Ratchet, Optimus Prime, Strongarm, Sideswipe and Bumblebee. One Step Ratchet's gallery is the very first time we are seeing images of One Step Ratchet's robot mode since until a few days ago none of us had realized this toy even existed. It turns out that it shares similar molding with the new Strongarm, also released in this wave and seen below, but several parts have been remolded such as the chest, head, legs and top of the alt mode. These are all part of the 9th and 10th wave of the Robots in Disguise One Steps and many are new molds and new transformations with the exception of the Bumblebees and Sideswipe which share the common switchblade transformation first seen in Age of Extinction's Drift toy. As you will notice in the images below, all of these One-Steps have 5mm holes in their hands making them able to use weapons such as the upcoming new Weapon Minicons. These should all be appearing at retail soon.

Make sure to join us next time on "How Many Times Can They Re-mold One Step Drift?"!

Got to say, really impressed with the new Strongarm/Ratchet mold. Can't help but feel that Rachet would have vastly benefitted from even just one more paint app in vehicle mode, though...

The choice of apps they went with is undeniably clever - can't fault choosing areas that are seen in both mode - but it still looks too much like an finely detailed white brick for my liking.

Is it still a re-mold if every part is new and only the transformation is the same?

Nope.

...oh wait, that was probably rhetorical...

Its not rhetorical. Just a legit question. Because whatever the answer people give (and I think both yes and no are legit) would be the same answer to the fabled question "Is Chromedome a retool of Dead End". I still think there is a different between these examples and toys that share similar transformations since these are legitimate attempts at replicating a transformation, and they do copy a previous engineering design. So while it isnt a retool per say, I still think its less original in a way. But thats just me.

I say NO. Reusing a particular transformation scheme has been done plenty of time, especially with simpler toys. Such figures are not considered retools, otherwise almost every Micromaster would be related to one another.

Retools are purely physical in nature, as they involve changing or switching out already existing parts. Reusing transformations is part of the design phase on paper, no existing parts involved. That's the main difference.

The AoE One-Steps had less variety in transformations, having only 4 to 5 schemes. Yet we didn't consider them retools...

I love that little legion Bisk. He is getting some good figures!

I really like that he has working pincers, which is something I would have loves Clampdown to have. And plus he has knee articulation.

Yes and Yes. I cannot wait for the Warrior

On this Thursday evening, we are proud to bring to you Seibertron.com's latest galleries: Robots in Disguise Deployer Crazybolt and Minicon Hammer! Crazybolt is a new mold that shoots cyclone minicons from his mouth and transforms into a sweet and sexy muscle car. Hammer is a cyclone minicon that turns into a dragon. Hammer comes with his armor pieces and is a redeco of his individual release toy as well as his 4-pack toy. These guys come packed together and will be showing up on stores shelves very soon. So check out the galleries and let us know what you think of this new deployer, and as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries!

It looks pretty pose-able, how are the joints on it? I can get behind the gimmick and size and design - if it's pose-able, I might look into getting one

It's fairly poseable for what it is. The only issue I have is that you can't hide the "claw" deployer feature on it. If you could fold it back out of the way or something, it'd be a much better toy. Either way, it seems much better than the prior 3 deployers and the gimmick seems much less obtrusive than it does on Drift and Fracture.

Speaking of whom, I didn't do comparison shots with the other Hasbro Deployers because I ended up doing it with the the Takara Micronshooters since I hadn't posted Takara's Fracture and Drift galleries yet. I simply added group shots of all 4 of those together and will hopefully have all 10 of those galleries posted in the near future. Normally I save the big group shots for the Hasbro galleries and try to stick to "release date" mates or Hasbro comparisons with the Takara products, which is not necessarily a set rule, just something I try to stick to keep everyone flowing timewise.

Seems like a missed opportunity to have a comparison with Kiss Players Zangetsu. The moulds seem so similar. I kinda want it on that basis alone.

I forgot about those guys. Maybe I'll bust them out for an upcoming Beast Wars Tuesdays set since I haven't done the Beast Wars Eggs yet either.

Goodness, the deco on Hasbro's is enough to make him look like a completely different character.

This is like Beast Machines levels of show/toy deviation.

Seibertron.com is proud to bring to you today our latest Galleries, that of Robots in Disguise Legion Class Bisk, Groundbuster, and Blizzard Strike Drift! Blizzard Strike Drift is a redeco of his previous legion toy while Groundbuster and Bisk are all new molds. All 3 are to be widespread available very soon as the summer lull is coming to a close and the toy distribution is about to speed right back up again. Check out the galleries and let us know what you think in the comment section, and as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries!

We have another update to the Seibertron.com toy galleries, focusing on the Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure line, and more specifically the Micron Shooter subline, with its Decepticon Fracture and Autobot Drift figures!

TAV24 Fracture is the Japanese counterpart to the Robots in Disguise Deployer figure from Hasbro - which you can see here - and alongside a tweaked colour palette (with the lighter lilac purple so very prominent) we also get two Micron figures, scorpion-like Sandsting and bullet-kid Airazor. On the other hand, TAV27 Drift - as opposed to the Hasbro Drift set seen here - comes with his regulars Slipstream and Jetstorm. All Microns include the clear plastic armour pieces too, and you can check out the whole set of images below, by clicking on any of the included images!
