A thought's just occured to me - is it possible that RiD is making most of it's Decepticons Vehicles now because Titans Return has some beast Decepticons?

Excellent! I am eager for Soundwave and Blurr!
Still need legion Springload, but I'll find him again soon. I really want him

Ha, I think thats coincidence. I think the vehicle cons are coming back simply because they are bringing back classic cons which were first shown as veicles before, like Soundwave and Starscream/Skywarp. Megatronus was a classic con and he had a vehicle mode too. That contrasts the new Decepticon character toys that were all animals (except for Fracture).
And itscram, I am glad you like the news I posted

Could it... maybe be the other way round, then? We're getting beasts in TR because this is when they decide to bring back classic characters in RiD?

That could be a factor. So could the fact that Combiner Wars was essentially beastless. But it could just as easily be "this is who's left on the list", and the ongoing "ditch the stuff that's not G1" initiative isn't seen as something that needs to be balanced out in any way.

Rereleasing members of the core Autobot cast is just something that this line does. They keep rereleasing them to ensure that any and all newcomers to the line get a chance to own the main Autobot cast.rockman_fan wrote:why are they re-releasing grimlock? am i missing something?

Pretty much every Warrior Class Autobot has been re-released in either Weaponizer or Combiner Force at this point, along with some Decepticons. The last two waves had Drift, Strongarm, Blizzard Force Optimus Prime, Grimlock, Thunderhoof, and Fracture for example.

The first Windblade figure was part of Wave 7, the first line of Weaponizers. The retooled Windblade is in Wave 11 Combiner Force from the latest article at the top of this page:
Warrior class Drift was released as a Weaponizer in wave 6 in his blue Blizzard Strike form. For Combiner Force wave 10 he's in the red and white IDW colors as Alpine Strike. Both are repaints of the original figure (which was part of both wave 2 and wave 4).

A shame my painting desk is absolute filled with half-finished tiny plastic daemonic supersoldiers (and also nearly-complete super-detailed Hardhead and Skullcruncher) because there's a tonne of shelfwarming Windblades in my local Entertainer that are begging me to detail up with paint and gift with a new, less "blow-up-doll" head. The mold actually looks OK (lack of wrist swivels and awful face aside) but the lack of paint on that thing is appalling.

The mold is itself not bad at all. Not the greatest, but not as bad as it cold be (and we know that for a fact with the previous Windblade). All I mean to say is that if it had a sweet deco, it would easily be seen as a perfectly decent figure to own.

We can ask Cobotron or Chuck, do you guys like your SDCC Windblade?
Although the place its really at is the Takara version. If ever Shajaki comes back, we can ask him how he finds his TAV windblade.

That is true, but A: thanks to spotty UK distribution I'm not sure if we'll ever see it here, and B: I like Windblade unmasked. I will agree the masked head is cool though.
Aye. It does look pretty good- the jet mode looks a lot better than the Generations figure, and it looks a pretty nice toy. Part of me wants to import the TAV version through Mandarake but she's so cheap in my local store, and seeing as I'm going to be modding her anyway, that quite frankly I might as well fire up the airbrush (or at least the paintbrush...).
As for the SDCC version, the colours are kind of...weird and it still has that horrible face.

Hello EVERYBODY!
Yes Will, Yes I do. The deco is super cool. Has nothing to do with accuracy though. And, I do find that mold to be superior to the Gen mold in every way. Honestly though, I would have likely skipped her had she not come in the SDCC set, but she was a cool incentive to pull the trigger on that purchase.

Along with the Transformers: The Last Knight toys line-up from Transformers Perù, as seen here, the images also contained some more information of the Robots in Disguise line - which does not, however, contain too much new information as to what is to come as it has Combiner Force only, and names we are already seeing at retail, but you can check it out below in any case, and stay tuned for more updates as Toy Fair 2017 is just round the corner!
Combiner Force Hyperchange Heroes:
Optimus Prime
Bumblebee
Combiner Force Warriors:
Grimlock
Strongarm
Starscream
Blastwave
Stormshot
Autobot Drift
Combiner Force Activator Combiner:
Strongarm and Trickout
Bumblebee and Stuntwing
Combiner Force Crash Combiners:
Optimus Prime & Strongarm
Bumblebee and Sideswipe

Anyway what I was saying is I got some crash combiners and i'd not mind if they made some more.

We still have Skysledge and Stormhammer, and then there's "Drag Strip" and "Wildbreak".
Wait... what if that Stunticon pack was actually a pair of 2-packs? "Motorstar" & Drag Strip, "Wildrider" & Breakdown? Would fit the naming scheme of the bigger bots.

That is my thinking too that the next wave of Crash Combiners (after Skysledge and Stormhammer) will be 4 Stunticons (2+2) so you still get the mix-and match idea going on.
I'd be surprised if they make more than that - though I'd like it if they did.
At this point it looks like RID is just not going to die (at least not quite yet). I expected it to be all done by the time the Movie toys came out - but what with the Movie toys showing a lack of idea and being very repaint heavy - I don't even see it as a proper full toy line (at least so far). It's more like something that will be there and gone as quickly as Combiner Force likely will be too.

Ok, this has been bugging me for quite a while: did anyone get both Warrior Class Power Surge Optimus Prime figures (TRU white and regular retail red) and switched out the clear and blue parts?
It's a modding project I've been considering with my red one, inspired by this release:
TAV50 Hyper Surge Optimus Prime
Also partly the reason why I asked about the sword a few months back.
Is it hard to do? And how does the result look?

good lord that sideswipe looks bad. his torso is literally a flat panel screwed onto a frame. and not even screwed on right, his legs are misaligned.

That really does not look much like Rescue Bots Blurr's face/head.

It... kind of does. It's not the exact same but they follow the same patterns and motifs.

That forehead crest of his is definitely more from G1 Blurr without the antenna.

Yeah, it's the RB Blurr head but they changed it up a little to include some original and G1-drawn aspects. It still follows the same motifs and patterns as RB Blurr.

To me this:

as this:
looks like this:
Sure, they borrowed a few things from G1 Blurr like the color and that little thing on top of his head, but the overall shape is closer to RB Blurr.

Huh, so that's what RB Sideswipe looks like? Weird. Why is RiD so obsessed with the black chest window thing? It's a cool motif but it being on everyone is really confusing me.

The ironic thing is that Sideswipe doesn't have a window chest in either the RID 2015 cartoon or on any of his toys, including his Rescue Bots toy. The window chest he had in the Rescue Bots cartoon was all that cartoon's doing.Kurona wrote:Huh, so that's what RB Sideswipe looks like? Weird.

It's nice to see some rotation in a One-step you don't often get that.
It looks like the knees up are on a hinge system so the chest is the nose of the car and I like the elbows he has - it seems he spins at the knees.
But I really would prefer some more Decepticons - heck they could do a much better job with Thunderhoof - or at least repaint him a bit.
They never made a Megatronus One step so that would be worth doing as would Starscream.
I think that Shark one would work really well as a one-step too.
------
P.S.
This is now 5 One-step RID Bumblebee (2 Scissor,2 butterfly, and an unfold type).
4 Sideswipe (2 butterfly, one sort of Scissor and a rotate and chest pop type)
3 Optimus Prime (Flipchanger ish one, one which is mainly just moving his hands and standing it up, and an unfold like one) I would have expected one be made in white but they've not done that yet surprisingly.
2 Drift (One scissor and one butterfly)
------
So I'll say what I usually do - make more Decepticons and make Jazz.
Also why not make Rescue Bots onesteps in with the RID line ?

Rescue Bots are already One-Step more or less.

So I don't know if this is noteworthy, or even remotely close to new any more, since I haven't kept very good track of this thread - but I found some Combiner Force Warriors (RiD Wave 9?) in a Target today. I know for certain these guys have been out for a while in the US but I don't know if they've been seen Down Under yet, so I figured I'd share it anyway.
(Drift was there too but I didn't realise he was part of the wave at the time, so he doesn't get to be in the picture.)
Personally I didn't have much of a hankering for any of them except Screamer, whom I picked up and am rather pleased with. Not a big fan of the facial/headal region, but hey, it seems to be the line's aesthetic so I have no problem with it being the way it is. I might go back for Stormshot later though, he looks pretty delish as well.
Additionally (and I'm sure this isn't new), the Windblade/Scorponok wave (RiD Wave 7?) seems to have shown up at the same time and I pocketed little miss way-too-red as well, bringing my total RiD collection count up to a massive... eight.
(Three Minicon Weaponizers not pictured because they've gone walkabout and I can't be bothered looking for them and all their pieces
)

In the latest Hasbro Pulse newsletter, we have an in-depth chat with Hasbro Transformers toy designer Sean Carmine Isabella, talking about two characters part of the cast of animated series Transformers: Robots in Disguise: Starscream and Blurr. The two were added to the aesthetic of the show, while keeping some of their G1 elements (and some of Prime's, in the Decepticon's case) - check out below to find out more!
Epic Redesigns: Retrofitting Starscream & Blur into “Robots In Disguise”
Tapping into the rich history of Transformers lore, famed G1 Decepticon, Starscream, and heroic Autobot, Blur, are getting a Robots In Disguise overhaul. So what exactly went into detailing these classic characters? We went right to the source for the answers—Hasbro Senior Product Designer on Transformers, Sean Carmine Isabella.
About the Designer:
Designing many of his favorite childhood characters, Isabella builds new play experiences for the next generation of thinkers and explorers. Before he worked on heroic robots battling the forces of evil, Sean designed toys for brands such as Littlest Pet Shop, Easy Bake Oven, and FurReal Friends.
So, why Starscream?
“Being an ‘80s kid, the idea of high flying fighter jets always sparked my imagination. No one encapsulated this for the Deceptions better than Starscream. Drawing jets and spaceships is something of a hobby for me so getting the opportunity to work on reimagining a classic character, (and a jet no less!) was a dream come true.”[center][/center]
What elements of the G1 Starscream sculpt inspired this redesign?
“We wanted to hold onto certain iconic design traits to maintain his epic look—such as his chest exhaust design, graphic pattern on his wing, his overall color scheme, and his twin null ray blasters.”
What was your motivation behind Blur’s build?
“Blur’s a fast talking, speed loving Autobot. We wanted his design to evoke the same sense of speed to be true to the core of the character.”
Was there a specific G1 element you focused on keeping or updating?
“We looked at his classic Cybertronian mode that debuted in the 1986 film and reimagined how this vehicle mode would exist in a modern Earth setting.”
The GI connections certainly don’t stop with these bots. Tune in to Transformers: Robots In Disguise to find out if some of your favorites are getting a modern makeover.
