As was the case last time, we are getting a lot of new character additions to the Robots in Disguise app, and most if not all will be toys. We have looked into the update and listed every new possible toy we found along with their classes. Below, you can find pictures (from the Snakas Blog) of some of these characters. Many are minicons and their new weapon class was introduced at the New York Comiccon, as were the new Blizzard decos.

Crazybolt... Now that's a name that hasn't been used since Beast Wars Neo, and which has never been used for a Hasbro product before. That makes me smile.

"Back" is a bizarre Transformer name. But then again I guess this is the same series that gave us "Ped".

Crazybolt's two designs are so wildly different from each other. I mean, they share a lot of design cues, but the "Starter" is like a crazy overdetailed reimagining of the "Deployer".

Is "Warrior Asia" Grimlock supposed to be based on Voyager class Battle Grimlock from Japan? That's the only Grimlock figure I can think of that actually did the yellow stripes on the arms from the cartoon (or close enough to it). I won't get my hopes up over a western release, but it would be nice. Maybe an exclusive run somewhere like with GDO?

Warrior class is Deluxe class-sized, so not likely.

My guess is maybe the Warrior Asia versions of Bee and Grim could be some forth coming Hasbro Asia Platinum Edition release featuring the Warrior molds.

So they are making a Minicon that turns into a Chainsaw - were they inspired by Shapeways Targetmasters then ?

I'm loving all the new minicons so hopefully we see figures of them. And crazybolt in starter form looks rad as hell! I'm just wondering what starter means hopefully it's not a simplified design/transformation.

I am pretty sure it is. Wouldnt surprise me if its a wound up toy that transforms mid way like the jump starters.

That would make sense for the name, damn

it has crazy potential to be an awesome warrior figure though.

Shortly after our first looks at these characters through the Transformers: Robots in Disguise mobile app, we now have a look at some new Mini-cons via Entertainment Earth. In additional exciting news, these are also in-stock and ready to ship now, along with the latest Legion, Warrior, and Deployer figures from the same line.

This marks the first online availability, so it looks like these toys will hit other online retailers and perhaps even brick and mortar very soon.

Re: New Possible Robots in Disguise Products Revealed in November 2015 App Update (1740640)
Posted by ScottyP on November 11th, 2015 @ 8:36am CST

The next round of One-Step Changers from Transformers: Robots in Disguise haven't been left out either, as they also are now not only visible, but available now via Entertainment Earth. This is our first look at some of the new Decepticons in color, and also gives a glimpse at the new One-Step Bumblebee mode that transforms similarly to Age of Extinction's One-Step Drift, or from this same line's Sideswipe - except that Sideswipe appears to have a re-mold in this wave as well, to transform similarly to the One-Step Robots in Disguise Drift. Are your thoughts drifting yet?

Sound off below if you're looking forward to these new Robots in Disguise toys, which are hitting fast and furious as we approach the holiday season.

So, am I the only one who notices Ratchet in the characters list on the RiD App or did we already cover that at some point? :???:

Edit: Nevermind, I thought there was a Starter model for him in the game that would more closely resemble an in-show design, but it's just the legion. Oh well. Did we have any kind of artwork of Ratchet prior, then?

It looks like the only clear plastic are his feet, and it also seems like he's a repaint of divebomb so unless they give him new plastic upgrades he's just going to have the battle mask

A double Chainsaw even.

I tend to keep my Arms Micron Pussy cats in catskin rug (shield) or cat modes though.

Technically he is the same as Prime Ratchet so there is a ton of artwork for him there and probably in the RID comics which feature the older cast. The news was more about how the app hints at new toys but we already know he's coming out. I had a link in the article to the NYCC reveals he was part of.

For Primus' sake man, he just said all you can see is the bot mode, and it is a bad game image, not a high quality concept art or something. We do not know. We will need to see what happens later on. and just because he is in the game does not mean he will be in the show, same with the comics and toyline, As I have mentioned before

TWO new toys for Quillfire now? I'm impressed yet confused as to whether that means anything. I do love the little anarchist maniac, so I hope he gets bumped up to a regular on the show.

Also, good to see Springload getting toy form. Can't get a good look, but as long as it's decent I'd pick it up. One step seems like an appropriate size for the delusional loon.

Really wish Entertainment Earth did assortments that were just the new figures. Every case has at least two carry overs. Look at the Warrior case, we have Prime, Strongarm, and Bumblebee from wave 1; with a redco Prime and Bee as part of the new figures.

Thank you for posting something like this: Proof of something. While it really does not give us a clean image (since it is all story board stuff like that) It does show that he may be in the show if the 204 really does mean season 2 episode 4.

They do but BBTS usually offers a set of just the new figures. Then again there's been a few instances where they haven't offered that, probably don't want to get stuck with certain figures.

Is Hasbro actually starting to "Care" a little bit about some aspect of RID that isn't a 3 Step-Changer ?

For a while there all we got was yet another 3 Step changer.. at least the Minicons and the one-steps give some appearance of there being an intention to continue the toyline.

Oh and as to the point Quillfire and Springload seeming new - well if I had seen them before it was so lo res It didn't stick in my mind seeing the in-package and a slightly bigger grey scale than I had before does cement it in my mid as a thing that exists.

I would be curious to see for sure if Sideswipe is a new mould or not too - I can't see the image well enough to tell - seems possible though if Bee is a Drift style remould that he might be a remould too.

Because then fans would threaten Hasbro to never ever buy a tf again.

Also RAR, Hasbro said from the get go that the first year of RID was to get the autobots out first and attract the kids to the line (by clearly setting age ranges when speaking in interviews and such). They said the rest would come in after that and we are seeing it now that the line is more established and has some footing amongst the younger kids. Now they can release more decepticons and new fun stuff that we can all enjoy.

Are you talking about BBTS? I respectively disagree. As long as I've shopped there, it's been all about us collectors. I do not think they do any distribution. (And sure, the site looks dated. But I can find stuff there! I would prefer function over visual aesthetics any day.)

I thought this was just the way the waves/cases are, bbts has carry overs too

They do but BBTS usually offers a set of just the new figures. Then again there's been a few instances where they haven't offered that, probably don't want to get stuck with certain figures.
We're not their target market. They're primarily a distributor first, sell to folks like us second. I mean, just look at that website, I don't think it's been updated since 1999

Are you talking about BBTS? I respectively disagree. As long as I've shopped there, it's been all about us collectors. I do not think they do any distribution. (And sure, the site looks dated. But I can find stuff there! I would prefer function over visual aesthetics any day.)

No, they were talking about entertainment earth. But yeah I got confused too.

Make that 3 and I was part of the conversation. Lately BBTS has just sold cases without doing a set, when they do a set the figures are usually priced higher since they know they're going to get stuck with extras.

For what it's worth ToyWiz is scalping some of the new one-step and legion figures on Amazon. $20 for Windblade, all I can do is shake my head.
