The latest Deluxe and Legion wave for Robots in Disguise is slowly making its way across the US. For the deluxes, which include Alpine Drift, Stormshot and Blastwave, they have now also been found at Target (the images below are from Palatine, IL).
Target also now has the latest Legion wave, which includes Starscream and Springload (the ones below were found in Okemos, MI). And if you don't have a Target or TRU in your area no worries, these anticipated legion toys are now on Amazon too. You can get Springload here and Starscream here.

Sabrblade wrote:Has the newer wave release of Grimlock had its exploding elbows fixed?
I never opened the Warrior Grimlock I bought as I happened to buy the KO one and pick up the 3 step around the same time at a carbootsale so I never got around to opening the warrior one. If I see one in revised packaging then I might give it a try - but would I be brave enough to bend the elbows though - hard to say.
I like the look of that plane and it's nice Starscream is getting a regular release version too - I would hope RID has a bit longer legs now though as I would really hope they get around to doing Thundercracker before the line dies as incomplete seeker sets drives me crazy.

I didn't bother fixing my Gold Armour one as I was so unimpressed by his floppiness I just shoved him at the back of a shelf and forgot about him - and I simply will leave the elbows at the angle needed for T-rex mode.
I might not even have a green one to play with unless I pick one up at a Carboot sale as like I have said before the KO (or the remoulded Voyager) is a better bet.

I was hoping for a Chop Shop combiner, but I didn't get that either. I guess we're both S.O.L.

Hey man, thats nothing compared to the legion of fans who are wanting Takara's take on Liokaiser while the Unite Warriors line is now over.

All in all, I have a little bit of buyers remorse when it comes to Paralon and I'm not fond of the Autobot and Decepticon sticker emblems they use now. It would have been nice if they had painted on the emblems instead.
And yes, its been a long time since I collected Transformer figures, the last one I got up until this month was back in the late 80's.

Honestly, I feel like I really can't tell what is or isn't different between the two versions just by looking at them separately. If someone could get their hands on both in person and post comparison photos of the two side-by-side, that'd be marvelous.ScottyP wrote:So Combiner Force vs Clash of the Transformers Warrior Starscream - need some help because I don't trust my eyes completely on this. It seems the CotTF version uses the same paint on the guns, chest vents, and outside/"helmet" part of the head, which has a hint of bronze in it. The CF version uses the same barely bronze paint on the guns, but goes for a metallic black on the chest vents and head.

Not quite. This figure is a mix of his design from War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron with his Prime design since they're the same guy. The G1 elements come from the Cybertron design having them, not a direct attempt to make this design more G1.

Isnt his colour scheme also an homage to G1. Its more G1 than either his Prime or WFC colour scheme.

Well Quillfire's head doesn't really seem like one that can be easily retooled since it was not attached with the stranded head ball joint peg most heads are but with those pins in the side holding his neck.
Not sure about Bisk since I don't own him but his pictures look like he has the standard head engineering.

I'm hoping for a new head. I like Thermidor's head design a lot more than Bisk's.

Bisk is a standard head, yes.

Alright thank you Will that means that Bisk is more likely to get a new head for Thermidor.

But not a guarantee. Paralon's head shouldn't really count as it's not show-accurate, and is probably a pretooled head the designers had some fun with.
Posted by Sabrblade on December 30th, 2016 @ 11:10pm CST
The kind of joint that connects her head to her body shouldn't matter since the head itself is still a separate piece from the body. Certain attachment joints haven't stopped Hasbro from retooling parts (heads or otherwise) on other toys in the past. They just got lazy with Scatterspike or didn't have the budget to give her a new head.Deadput wrote:Sabrblade wrote:But will it have a new head like Paralon, or will it be just another redeco like Scatterspike?

Yes your right I know that which is why I did not say guaranteed.

The pins don't make it seem like Quillfire is a remold friendly figure at all too me so I still think that Hasbro went lazy as to not use a new technique for head remolding one specific head on a specific mold.
Not saying your wrong I'm just going with my opinion unless told by Hasbro themselves on the matter
I'm not in a very straight thinking mood so forgive any off sentences.

You know, I bet if Fun Pub was still able to do Shattered Glass they'd give Bludgeon (already based on RID2001 Bludgeon) a shell that looks like RID2015 Blastwave.

Wei Jiang have you covered - sort of.

Here's my review of Blastwave. I really like the mold, but I just can't get past the fact this is a blue Bludgeon. If they would've used the face one the card, it would've been a better figure.

if i had to venture a guess, i'd say that Paralon's noodle was intended to approximate Beast Wars Scorponok. perhaps foreshadowing some manner of Platinum edition boxset?
Cybertron/10th ann Megatron
RID Paralon

just need Tarantulas and Terrorsaur and we'll have a full Darksyde crew to go with our updated Axalon crew (gen Rhinox and Rattrap, Uni2 Cheetor, Cybertron/10th ann Primal (or MP))
