Hasbro may not have shown up at the UK Toy Fair last weekend, but the EU section has its presence at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany - and with that come their press releases about upcoming products on the European market (which have already been seen elsewhere). So far, all we have seen relates to the Transformers: Robots in Disguise line - as you can read in German below, with a quick translation from yours truly - but we do have additional info on the recently reported Hyper Surge Optimus, here named Gigawatt Optimus Prime. Read on below for more info and images!

Thats not entirely true either. If they really didnt care at all things would be way more different than they are now. There would be no nods to G1, and they wouldnt even bother getting the MPs stateside. And thats just one small part of it.

In the mobile game for rid aside from Minicons that turn into Sawblades, Torpedos and Cyclones there is a 4th class of minicons called weapons that transform into weapons.

I see one of the molds from that game in the toy photo so that's what they are.

It's not Minicons holding weapons it's minicons that become weapons.

Look at the Slipstream on the right there. He has drill attachments on his back. and the mobile game said that we would be getting minicons who turn into weapons (and we've seen a few before) and slipstream was mentioned as a possible weapon minicon

He is the second one in from the right

Apparently if you have their pile of loot turned on they'll tell you so that you can make sure you know that they'll be charging you soon.

Not really. That line even had it's own T-Rex mold.

I dont get the need to redeco everything into anything that has some semblance. Arent we sick of redecos?

There are great versions of BW Megs out there, better than anything suggested here. If anybody wants a decent beast wars megs, get those.

If it is a good mold and it works for more than one character, than I don't mind repaints/retools. Combiner wars has overdone it a bit, but that's not a full deterent. also, we must remember that there are only so many ways transformers can transform and many of them share transformations or alt modes.

That being said, this does look like a great mold. it is very similar to the warrior but a bit different, and they did an awesome job with Grims energon parts as a t-rex head. I really like it

well remember Takara did repaints of CW Blackjack & Groove as Runabout & Override! with RID packaging & stickers(those scanning type ones for the RID android game)

so it's in the realms of possibility for Takara to do one! but they probably would have to make at least SOME cosmetic changes! i just don't think he could be accepted if you JUST repainted him the BW Megatron colours.

but like William said....i don't think it'll ever happen.

Fellow Seibertronians, hot on the heels of the in-hand images, and the video review of Grimlock vs. Back Mini-con Battle Pack, we have a review of the RID Mini-con Battle Pack Bumblebee vs. Major Mayhem from fellow Seibertronian chuckdawg1999. Check out the review and leave your thought in the comments below.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Those of us who have been around for awhile know that when Hasbro introduces a new line, the first wave or so really isn't indicative of the overall series. Such is the case with the Minicon Battle Packs. Bumblebee is a smaller, pocket sized version of the Warrior Class figure, with a few additional ball joints. The armor comes together nicely both in the combined weapon mode, and attached to bumblebee. Major Mayhem is a cool name but these new Minicons just don't do it for me.

Alright then, not sure whether to be happy or scared that I remember Bakugan exists, and that I still have my entire Bakugan collection. But yeah, I might get some Cyclone Miniconsjust because they remind me of Bakugan so much.
