New Transformers: Robots In Disguise toys revealed; Soundwave, Bludgeon, Blurr, Twinferno, Skywarp

Someone in Hasbro REALLY likes Twinferno, huh? First being the only Monsterbot to get the Generations treatment and now this. I'm getting a John Warden Deluxe Vehicles vibe here

While this all looks majorly badass, I'm not sure exactly how I feel about it. RiD 2015 used to mostly be it's own thing with the recent Starscream harkening back to the past so much being a big surprise, but what made it so great is that it was unique. Now it feels like the toyline's starting to overflow with G1 influence when before it was packed with originality and new characters. Don't get me wrong, I still prefer these G1 characters to what RiD has put out and I'm excited for most of these figures - especially that Soundwave holy shit - but... I dunno. It's starting to feel like RiD's uniqueness is starting to fade and mesh in with everything else.

The one article said Hasbro is making designs inspired by G1...that's not all that new, and Titans Return is a much better example of that...

When the Bludgeon mold was revealed at NYCC he was a Bot and had a different name. So we're getting two, or they changed their mind?

And I agree Kurona. Although these look fun, I wouldn't mind the line staying the course of originality it was on.

I was groaning at the article the whole way through. Acting as if this is the first time there's been full-on G1 influence... meanwhile, there is literally a direct remake of the G1 Soundwave toy in a Titans Return Leader box, original alt-mode (or at least a close approximation of it), cassette partners and all.
"The warrior class features some of the largest figures in the RiD line" oh come on

Warrior Class
Starscream
Bludgeon
Blurr
Soundwave
Twinferno
Skywarp

Legion
Blurr
Cyclonus
Starscream

Of note is that the Warror Starscream is a regular retail release, and thus may have some changes from the TRU Clash version. As for Bludegon, I'm going to assume he's a redeco of Blastwave, as I don't see any of the others revealed earlier.

I kinda like how that Soundwave takes design cues from both the WFC/FOC and Prime designs. And depending on how well that Bludgeon looks in hand I might use him as my G1 Bludgeon.

The 3 we saw in new york arent there so I am assuming these all come after. That means that we will first get Blasstwave, White Drift and Stormshot. So far they have been releasing 3 new warriors per wave, so I dont know how this will all play out. So much for those who thought this line was dead is growing more and more and giving us more stuff. I love it. I still want a warrior hamerstrike but this is all good stuff. I dont know if I will get that skywarp or not but all the rest of these warriors are definite buys.

And I find it cool how taht Soundwave has the same body type as Prime Rumble and Frenzy. It will be a cool dynamic to have him stand in the middle of the two with them acting like his goons. About Soundwave, man, that guy's agent must have been working overtime.

Run, Blaster! Save yourself!

Dont read the comments! You are still so young!

...welp, I'm back from the comments section. *Hides in a cardboard box*

...so, the new toys look cool. Wonder how Soundwave and Cyclonus will factor into the show, if at all.

Soundwave will definitely be a big thing in the show; probably the new 'con leader. You don't just get a whole slew of toys like that, all original molds and don't appear.

Cyclonus too considering he's a new mold. I'd expect Skywarp and Bludgeon too but since they're easy redecoes of past figures, won't be surprised if they don't appear. Then again, Soundwave probably needs team fillers, and there don't appear to be many Decepticon toys not currently arrested and taken back to Cybertron...

Eh, I've seen worse. At least some are trying to educate people.

HOLY SH*T

These have got to be some of the best-looking toys to come out of RID's toyline. Looks like Soundwave's getting a major upgrade if this means he's making yet another return to the series.

Also, Blurr, eh? Are we finally getting a Rescue Bots crossover?

But he's recycling the engineering of Starscream and Windblade. It could go either way, but yeah I think he will be on the show. Looking forward to the warrior toy.

Wow, this is some good stuff. I like what they've done with Soundwave, and Blurr and Twinferno look really cool.

Sideswipe already showed up in rescue bots:

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF******************************************************** YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is awesome! Bludgeon looks amazing. Blurr!! Yes!!! Soundwave is like a mix between Prime, Animated, and WF/FOC!!! WTF Twinferno?!?! Awesome!!!

This whole thing is awesome. Means I can pass on Blastwave and get Stormjet and Drift from wave 1 2017 and wait on all these cons!!

AHHHHHHHHHH!!! THEY LOOK AWESOME!!!!!

Ooh exciting! The only one that is a must have is Bludgeon out of all things. Looks really nice and negates the need for the RotF Bludgeon. I think the only two I might pass on are Skywarp and Blurr. Nothing's really wrong with Blurr it's just the TR one is so good and Skywarp is well a repainted Starscream. I do hope that that Cyclonus design gets a warrior toy sooner or later.

It may just be be, but Cyclonus really reminds me of the Air Vehicon :

I think he means in RID. So far all of the cross overs with Prime/RID characters have been on Rescue Bots for both the toys and cartoon, this is the first time we have appears to be a Rescue Bot in the RID toy line.

I really like that RID is fixing one of my major complaints in that the Prime character designs didn't make sense as coming from the Cybertron games. Now we're finally seeing designs in RID for Starscream and Soundwave that actually look like a cross between the two styles.

I wonder if Starscream's final figure will have the accurate gray shoulders? Doesn't really make sense to keep the blue shoulders from the Clash figure.

I ignore that the alligned continuity is a thing so I didnt even think about it. I saw that Soundwave and said, well that takes from a few sources including FOC Soundwave, and left it at that. But this is quite literally Soundwave taking hint of his own previous body in that "same" continuity. When I thought that continuity thread was dead at this point, they bring it all back.

Whelp I died when I saw this due to the aura of awesomeness but then I came back because there is one question on my mind.



Where are the stock photos of Stormshot, Blastwave and the IDW Drift repaint?


Did Hasbro forget about them or something?

SAMUS DRAGON BOMBER TWINFERNO! And he isn't redundant with the Titans Return version!


The others? Meh. RiD's been so damn uninteresting with the villain choices. The show gives us crazy 3-armed train-snakes and Spider-Combiners and Ped, but the toyline just goes with the plain humanoid ones...

Oh so the whole thing about the council on the show is just Cyclonus mind-controlling everyone. Mystery solved.

Soundwave's alt mode is classified as... as a tank? ... oooookie dokie then.

Whelp that's an interesting fact about Cyclonus


AND MIGHT I SAY SPOILERS!!!


If you don't like spoilers don't read Cyclonus's bio which spoils what will probably be a future twist on the show.

Deadput wrote:Did Hasbro forget about them or something?

Maybe. But those arent G1 characters so they didnt work with this story. I feel they wanted to tell collectors that this line was for them too.

This is basically the biggest story ever done for RID toys since they existed. They always seemed like a secondary line as far as marketting to collectors was concerned (con presence, reveals, ect). So I can see why the theme of this news was to only show G1 centric characters. Thats also why they clearly missed Legion Springload who is also coming out. The Spring date is super odd though. I Spring we already have the new aforementioned warriors, and all those crash combiners. Now we have 5 more warriors?!

Indeed.

The good news though is that him being the big bad means we will probably get a warrior figure from him.

Also, am I the only one who is not feeling that seeker mold as being for anyone else than Starsceam (unlike the WFC or even the CW version)? Its like when they gave the coronation gear to Sunstorm as well. It just doesnt fit.

Yeah, it makes sense they're making Seekers out of it; but it's one of those times where a Starscream mold just fits his personality and his personality alone. I felt the same about TFP; I always saw that as a Starscream mold - not a Seeker mold.

I feel the same as well, which is why I am not that into Skywarp.

But hey, look at all those cons!!! FRIKKIN' BLUDGEON!!!!

Anyone else feel this new activator class thing is replacing the deployer class? A relatively simplified figure that comes with a mini-con with which they have a compatible gimmick with. Plus it's Soundwave, so...

Yeahhhhhh, I'll be getting every single one of those Deluxes.

Kurona wrote:Anyone else feel this new activator class thing is replacing the deployer class? A relatively simplified figure that comes with a mini-con with which they have a compatible gimmick with. Plus it's Soundwave, so...

Yep, I'm pretty sure it is. I think it might be a bit cooler too, like minicon-activated stealth force

Holy hot damn... I know I'm of a minority but that Skywarp looks beautiful. It may have to do with the fact he's my favorite Seeker, but... I want 'im! Sadly, I doubt he'll actually ever be in the show (as awesome that would be). Also drooling over that Prime/Fall of Cybertron -esque Soundwave.

By the by, anyone notice how similar Blurr's gun looks to one of the blasters rescue cannons used in Rescue Bots? Or is that just me?

Talking of Blurr, anyone remember that little interview thing at a Botcon or whatever where some Hasbro reps were asked if we'd ever get Generations rescue bots and they were like "huh didn't consider that could be interesting"? Looks like this could be the start of it.

I can see it

Going by the bios it sounds like they'll be pitting Soundwave against Blurr. One guy that delivers data and another that specializes in intercepting it.

If this is the case, poor poor Blurr. We will have known you tried your best.

He's right.

10/10 getting Bludgeon and Soundwave. I am really liking Bludgeon over Megatronus. I am curious how Soundwave is getting out of the Shadowzone.

Will Twinferno most likely be Windblade's spiritual successor, now that she's already done for RID, or least for now?

psj333 wrote:Will Twinferno most likely be Windblade's spiritual successor, now that she's already done for RID, or least for now?

? When was it said that she's done? And I don't really see how he'd be her spiritual successor when he's nothing like her other than turns-into-red-flying-thing

Starscream's arrival seems to have marked the abandoning of the metal furries and the Decepticons becoming basically a grab bag of G1 rehashes like the Autobots. I was afraid of that.

Bludgeon actually looks fairly cool in robot mode, and his tank mode is weird but in a good way.

Twinferno is... I don't even have words. How did that alt mode even happen, and why do his flames make me think of Bionicle fire sword parts?

I can't imagine they'd have this Blurr be Rescue Bots Blurr (pretty sure that street only really goes one way, plus this is colored like G1 Blurr), so I hope he doesn't make it to the show. It'd be a mean thing to do to small children and people who try to keep track of continuity.

Skywarp because OF COURSE. There's probably gonna be a Thundercracker too, maybe an Acid Storm or Sunstorm or whatever too if they really feel like milking it.

Thanks for the spoiler, Cyclonus's bio. And this toy is probably the biggest G1 rehash of all.

Heh, they couldn't send Soundwave all the way back to G1, so they settled for sending him back to WFC. At least he kept his Prime-style head. And it actually looks pretty cool.
