Two European websites are giving us some new photos of upcoming Robots in Disguise toys. Unlike the recent trend of Hasbro official images being 3-d renders, these are images of the actual toys. Czech site Pompo.cz shows us the Alpine Deco Sideswipe with Windstrike Mini-Con Weaponizer Battle Pack. Sideswipe has clear snap-on armor which can be attached to Windstrike, turning it into a big sword. A picture of Battlepack Strongarm was also found on that site. There are also new images of the weapon minicons Lord Doomitron and Slipstream from UK distributor Wind Designs.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

well, I worked it out tonight. I am going to go on a minicon binge when the new ones start coming out. I decided that I am going to get pairs. i already have Slipstream. Divebomb, Backtrack and Back, so I am going to get Jetstorm, Airazor, Ransack and Forth to go with them to complete the pairs. I will also get the Swelter/Glacius pair and the Hammer/Anvil pair. I will get Hammer with Crazybolt, so I will need to find Anvil somehow hopefully separate from Sideswipe, and for the life of me I cannot find Airazor separate from Fracture. I don't want those larger figures, just the minicons. BAH!!

I'm liking the new weapon alt mode minicons; wish they'd had that functionality from jump street. Ratchet looks really nice in person and his guns are pretty awesome.

But honestly, you can probably just wait for a discount on the deployers and save the hassle, but Taks do look nicer (especially Jetstorm).

The funny thing is, I'm contemplating getting 2 of him: 1 for the Prime/RiD shelf, and another for the Lost Light, as he can make a passable MTMTE Ratchet
I've seen those, but I in no way want to spend $10-20 for a minicon. I'm kinda surprised no one on ebay is selling the minicon and deployer separate

I "fixed" it for you
I have the Tak Jetstorm on preorder from BBTS. I figured I'd be lucky to find the Drift deployer on discount for under $10 and the "deco" on that Jetstorm leaves a little to be desired. Toss him on my PoL and I won't get charged any extra for shipping.

So does everyone else, it wont happen. People have bought the deployer set just for the minicon so selling it solo on e-bay would be practically the same price as the whole thing, or at least over 10$.

Well, true that.
And I may have to buy the deployer. too bad I can't find him for cheap. On another note, considering I have the clash warrior Sideswipe, I can pass buying the con hunter Swipe pack for a better mold and actual show coloring and get the minicon too. I need anvil to go with Hammer (who will come with Crazybolt). I need the pairings of minicons. They are too funny

Fellow Seibertronians, we bring you an update to the Hasbro floor display of Robots in Disguise from Botcon. The gallery can be found here, and contains photos of the new Warrior Class Ratchet, Bisk and Windblade, among others, as well as various new Weaponizer Mini-cons. So check out the gallery and let us know what you think of these new figures in the comments below.

That version of Optimus still looks like Tarn to me!
Also, I can't wait for that Bisk toy! I'm also probably going to grab that Ratchet and Strongarm. As for that Windblade, I think it's growing on me.

You dont mind that the Optimus is a simplified tf? Did you get the 5 step megatronus?
And did you see the alt mode?
If you want him, great, but I did want to precise info that not everyone may derive from these awesome looking images. This toy is very much the equivalent of Weaponizer Optimus, which was a kids toy and that fans rejected. Although this one has a poorer alt mode and less articulation.

Power Surge Optimus Prime is a new mold, in the size of a Leader Class figure, which transforms in 7 steps
And did you see the alt mode?

I do want him and I have thoroughly checked him out. the robot mode is the main grab for me. I want a power surge Prime, but as I already have a warrior Optimus, I'd like something different. And yes while the alt mode isn't good I'm ok with it, and I primarily display bigger transformers in robot mode anyway. And his robot mode looks awesome. Plus the gimmick seems pretty good too. And he is articulated, and no I did not get big Megatronus

Fellow Seibertronians, Thanks to yours Truly in rural Western Pennsylvania, we now have our first in hand look at the 2nd Minicon 4-pack! This Minicon pack was found at the Walmart in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania for $15.99 and features Hammer and Anvil, now known for their associating with Bisk, Undertone, partner to Ratchet, and Weapon Slipstream, the first in-hand look at a weapon minicon we have had!
I will also give you a quick minicon-review of the figures themselves:
Hammer is an incredible little figure that features a solid Transformation into a cyclone, and his energon parts work very well for him. His colors work nicely and the red, blue and green make for an interesting combination. He features moving parts in his wings as well as a rotating tail.
Anvil is probably the weakest of the pack as he lacks any articulation and comes with no energon parts. He does make for a good gargoyle though!
Undertone is a nice little figure. He features moving arms and a nice fold up transformation. Now, in the show he is portrayed as a buzzsaw, and as a toy there are only Decepticon deployers that work with cyclones, making him an oddity. He does also have a nice double row of spikes going around the whole cyclone shape though.
Weaponizer Slipstream is the winner of the wave for me. He is an all new mold, though he shares the same transformation style as his buzzsaw counterpart. He comes with energon bits that give him the look of a 4-barreled gun and enables him to hold a pair of guns in robot mode. The energon bits work exceptionally well with this figure. He has a flip-down handle on his back that is long and enables all kinds of characters to hold him. He also features a brand new head sculpt.
I have mirrored the images below for your enjoyment. Check them out, and let us know what you think in the comments section below. And as always Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries!

So I got Quillfire today at Toysrus, it was a Warrior toy I was really looking forward to. So how does he measure up:
Alt mode: very much like the show. Its not the most exciting vehicle but that's the idea of this character. There is no robot kibble either, and the underside doesnt look like a bot hiding under a car. The vehicle reminds me a lot of Beast Hunter Bulkhead for some reason. What I really like is the nice mix of brown tones and the paint in the front that brings out the sculpted detail. There isnt the same in the back but, and this is very surprising, the wheel's rims are painted. Also, there is great weapon storage. You can fit his gun right between his feet and calves, it sticks there really well. I love how there are a ton of small tabs that keep panels secure in this mode. Everything fits well and stays secure.
Robot mode: this is a very strong outing from Hasbro. He has the features you would want from Quillfire, with the right proportions. His articulation is perfectly serviceable with swivels in all the right places. He can even open adn close his mouth which is a lot of fun with Transfomrers that have snouts. He has a nice array of quills in the back with a big quill that can be removed and used as a dagger or pointing stick. It's these nice little touches that mean a lot to me. The only thing that is a bit too bad is that while he has a lot of alt mode integration, there is the top part of the car that hangs off his back, and he ends up with a fake chest instead of it being his actual windshield. Still its better than Strongarm or Sideswipe where the chest has to peg in. Here it is a nice solid piece that wont unclip. He is a superior mold to almost every autobot actually (maybe tieing with Drift).
Conversion: straight forward with the arms and legs but still a nice mix of complexity with some slight innovation in the way the quills are stored. Especially since the front of the car end up folding onto itself.
In a way, this mold has everything I look for in a transforming toy. Original design (with the robot mode), weapon storage in alt mode, no extraneous kibble in alt mode, a ton of new detail in robot mode which still sports some nice alt mode integration. Good poseability and a neat transformation with some fun features that we havent seen yet or dont see much (like the removeable quill and articulated jaw in robot mode). And good deco all around, even if the colour mix is due to different coloured plastic rather than paint, he later of which is still present and serves to highlight the sculpt.
8/10

Glad you like him Will! I have yet to hear anything bad about the guy and I look forward to him coming!

I wonder how much shelfwarming those 'Power Surge' figures are going to do. It seems like the other figures that size/quality level did a lot already.

On the bright side,they seem to have decent articulation. Can't really tell if that applies to the legs, but certainly to the arms!

I dont know about you but I cant find a single 3 step Grimlock or Optimus (in original colours) at any store. This lets me know that these will sell just fine, just like everything else.

my problem is that my local walmart will order several cases of these guys and then one case of deluxes and act like they dont sell.

Alright, now allow me a few moments to utterly gush. Actually, we'll start with Quillfire first. He is a fun little dude! I love how stocky he is, all his quills, and he is very unique! good articulation, good altmode, and even a fun monster truck mode!
Now for gushing: I love Thunderhoof. He is my favorite character from the show, so I am biased, but he is a great figure! His alt mode is an awesome blue combine and it literally shows no robot mode parts save the head, but that makes it fun! His transformation is very involved for being so simple and he pulls off one of the greatest robot modes of the line. He has no backpack, no kibble. instead, he has huge beefy arms making him look like the strong brute he is. His antler, oh the antlers. YES!! Finally a mold gets it right! and his legs are long and have great hooves. He is extremely dynamic and is in my opinion the best con we have gotten from the line, just barely beating Fracture. paint is in there, but overall it's where it really needs to be. And his gun stores in both modes and he's just a badass!
so, some pictures:

Oh dear. After having seen so many looks at the Takara versions of Quillfire and Thunderhoof, those colors on the Hasbro ones look downright gaudy by comparison (Thunderhoof's antlers/fork should be blue, not black!).

But they also don't look bad. The scheme still works and while Takara does have more paint, this one works very well on its own.

Its KILLING me too! I saw Thunderhoof at the store today and I could have gotten him, but at the same time I was thinking about waiting to find the Takara version at a decent price. Him being such a good mold, does it make up for the paint scheme, or does it thus eserve a better one. Oh decisions!
Quillfire is not bad at all though. Especially in robot mode, the Hasbro coours work fine and have a decent variety.

Don't worry Will. With the minicon pack luck around my area I doubt it will be long before we see them! Though I still need to find the wave 3 minicons...

I know this will sound mean but I dont mind if my area skips wave 3. I really want those minicon weapons. I wouldnt mind if wave 3 and 4 come out at the same time like waves 1 and 2 did though.

Yeah, I want to get to the weapons too, but I do want several of the wave 3 and 4 guys, like Ransack, Jetstorm, and others
