Official Image - Transformers: Robots in Disguise Battle Packs Wave 3

I might be interested in that Strongarm. I'd need a better look at it though.

4 packs?

Its a mistake in the listing.

Perhaps we'll eventually get a Deployer Scorch Drift with Slipstream. Maybe a Razorpaw figure or a Deployer Razorpaw or Simicore with Axiom and Theorem.

That Strongarm looks better than the warrior version. I'll more than likely pick her and her little buddy up if I see them.

I thought that at first (especially for the forearms) but then I saw her chest which looks nothing like the show. Does it bother you a bit?

Nope. But that's probably because I haven't even watched the show. I just like her general design and would like a good looking toy of her.

Well now, Will, you got jipped there. Can't blame the guy that bad for just wanting the minicon, but come on! That is just thievery!

I want that weapon minicon Sideswipe has, I really do. I want weapon minicons!!

Also, I cannot wait to see Thunderhoof. I want that guy so bad and he been so scarce

The news story above was the first instance of him being in the US. I have yet to find him online even for uner $33

I know that some of the Combiner Wars toys went missing but as I was paying a bit less attention to the RID15/16 releases I was wondering ;

That white Sideswipe Legion did it come out in the UK yet at all ?

http://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/pr ... 26F9651EB6

- is it in a later case at all - or might it be a product that is going to be missing like he old Legion Tank Megatron was in the UK ?

Which news story? I've only seen the one that shows him found in Canada.

Yeah, reviews have been up for a month and a half and yet they cannot be found here

I want a warrior Saberhorn. Right now. make it happen

Via Amazon.com and Gamepeople.it we have updated individual images for upcoming Transformers Robots in Disguise wave 3, respectively, Strongarm and in-package Sideswipe - as opposed to the wave group shot seen here. Check out the minicon/armour/robot combos, and slight new decos, below!

Huh, these look...pretty good.

Fellow Seibertronians, Robot Kingdom has just posted a pre-order for the new wave 5 Mini-cons. The case, which can be pre-ordered here, is to include the following:

-Slipstream

-Lord Doomitron

-Bashbreaker

-Tricerashot

All of whom include a weapon mode now instead of a 'launcher mode', and will be the first wave under the moniker "Mini-Con Weaponizers", and it remains to be seen if they too carry on the component of being able to combine their armor into an animal. So check out the picture mirrored below, and let us know what you think of this new line of Mini-cons in the comments below.

Oh NOW we're really havin' fun!
Love these!

I want these to come out NOW!!!!!!!

I have my rainchecks for minicons, bring em on!n Sadly though, I think they wont be here for a while since we havent even gotten the latest minicons yet.

You know, some of these Minicons are getting dangerously close to modern takes on Action Master Partners. If only Tricerashot were more T-Rex. Almost as much so as the Arms Microns, but not quite as cool looking, as a whole.

Is the Double Barell guy a gun? or a Tank?

Definitely liking that hammer guy, this is where I can say 'screw the lack of articulation', he's cute and functional as an awesome looking weapon

These guys are actually kind of cool, definitely picking up at least two of Lord Doomitron so I can have a toy wielding those gloves.

Tricerashot looks really good. I find myself liking the beast minicons more than the others. I have Dragonus and he's great. I also plan to get Beastbox and Sandsting too.

What I will do is give Lord Doomitron to Steeljaw, who already has a claw hand. Like that he will have 2 claws, one different from the other. Really looking forward to these.

He looks really heavy, not sure anyone will be able to hold him up

Flashwave wrote:Is the Double Barell guy a gun? or a Tank?

Slipstream looks to be a gun of some sort, since the Mini-Cons don't turn into vehicles.

Gah, minicons!! Please!!!

I am a bit disappointed as I have not seen anything past wave 2 (and I really want a Jetstorm (single packaged in one of the newer waves) and Airrazor (still waiting on that individual release....) and considering how common the minicons are, I will not strive to get anymore than the original 2 pairs before the weapon versions. The weapons just look so awesome and I want them now

Oh wow. You know I don't have any of the RiD stuff but...I'd totally buy these to use on my other figures. This is so much better than the hockey pucks.

Fellow Seibertronians, straight from Botcon we bring you more photos of the Transformers display at Botcon, specifically the Transformers Robots in Disguise toys. Not only do we have our first look at Warrior Class Bisk and Ratchet, but we spot Scatterspike, a redeco of Quillfire and we have another look at some upcoming minicons and Warrior Windblade.

YAYYY! BISK!

Also: That RiD Ratchet will probably be my stand-in for a generations/classics Ratchet. Good use of the Strongarm mold!

You know, I've never thought to ask this before, but how come a lot of the RiD characters have the exact same chest design? Is that getting boring to anyone else?

Bisk looks great, looks bulky and accurate to the show, love the claws on him, definitely gonna get him if he pan's out well. These are such a nice breath of fresh air amidst all the bland G1 stuff

You know, it's good for us to see Bisk and Scatterspike in their Warrior forms. Finally, I'm glad! However, is this all the brand new Warriors Cons that we are all going to see at this Saturday's Botcon, or that there will be more on the way tomorrow? Will brand-new Cons in their Legion, One-Step, and 3-Changer forms be there as well? Will Warrior Springload and Warrior Clampdown be there tomorrow, or these will be released at a future date? By the way, where is Crazybolt. and Steeljaw lately? Are they also at this year's Botcon as well?

Also if Optimus is here, why Steeljaw isn't?

RiD is making me so happy right now. So glad we got some new images!

Suuure would be great to see Quillfire widely available before starting barely changed repaints. Still think they missed the mark in not having a Blot repaint.

On the other hand, that Bisk is lovely.

Makes me wonder if we might see a Glowstrike toy in the future, given her importance on the show.

I'm liking Windblade's design, but will be waiting for the TakTom version of her, Scorponok, and Bisk.

I have no need for Scatterspike if he isn't a toon character, so time will tell on that one.

After the preliminary floor shots of Hasbro products courtesy of Va'al's camera phone, Seibertron.com's higher quality camera brings full galleries for the products on display, starting with the Robots in Disguise line! Shown in full here, and a sample available below, are figures the likes of Ratchet, Windblade, Bisk, Scatterspike, Scorponok, the new Mini-cons, and more - check them out, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub.

Rid is doing a great job with these cons, Bisk looks great. Ratchet looks really cool too but the prime one is already really good so I'm not sure if he is a buy yet. I'm really enjoying that everybody gets to play with everybody display.

I want that Ratchet.

btw is Ratchet still an Ambulance? coz there's not enough paint apps & no light bar in vehicle mode to suggest that he is

Stuartmaximus wrote:btw is Ratchet still an Ambulance? coz there's not enough paint apps & no light bar in vehicle mode to suggest that he is

He does indeed appear to still be an ambulance

well...i'll hold off on him til i see if Takara can sort out more paint apps & a light bar!

speaking of Ratchet....i wonder if he's gonna appear on the show since we're getting this toy of him! it would be cool if he did....& still voiced by Jeffrey Combs because i needed that

i'm loving the look of that Warrior Bisk, i may pick him up

That doesn't bother me. The wind screen look does look cool. But I guess those scannable stickers are to blaim for that.

I suppose he gets a role like Jazz. He will join the Autobots for a few episodes and Fixit will be his little fan-boy like Sideswipe was for Jazz.

Warrior Bisk is incredibly cool. The TR line is getting my main autobot attention, and this line is getting my main con attention. they look so cool! Scorponok, Bisk, Thunderhoof, Quillfire, Crazybolt, they are all on the list to get. And with the way things are going, not to mention the hint at an "old friend" returning in the season 2 finale, I'm pretty certain Ratchet is coming back

I didnt think of the scannable stickers. Though that cant be all of it since on smaller figures, it ends up in other places than the chest. Also, fewer have this type a chest than one may think. Case in point, here are a slew of decepticons that dont:







But for those that do, what I thought about the design was that the windshield chests gave the designs a sense of continuity to the Transformers brand as it goes in such a different direction with these beastly robot modes. The designs are out there (werewolves, giant lobsters ect) but that chest gives them the remnant of the fact that they are Cybertronian in origin, that they are Transformers. It grounds the design. I especially love it when it turns out to be a real chest rather than a fake piece. Hence why I love that Steeljaw mold.

Also, isnt it fun how the fact that fewer people care about these toys actually makes these botcon events more fun because no one spoils their reveal in advance?

It was really awesome. I did not see Bisk or Ratchet coming and it is amazing

Lotta solid wins here. Dat Power Master Prime tho.

Any idea when these are coming? I thought the weapon mini-cons were supposed to be out by now. Someone found a 4 pack at Wal-Mart with the cannon Slipstream.
