I like that lobsterboy is essentially a Vehicon with some remolded robit parts.

I got Blastwave already, only because I like the deco, and it resembles a KO I own. I've renamed him Dokuronin.
But that won't stop me from getting Bludegon as the G1 guy. Best part: no rubbery plastic to worry about. Those bent swords, ugh.

Check out the picture below and tell us if you plan to get these two in the Energon Pub!
Finally, I was starting worry that these guys were gonna get cancelled.

WARNADO.
That's the best name we've had in recent years.

Wait.
WAIT!!
Lobster Bisk(Bisque) and Lobster Thermidor?! WHERE'S LEGO BATMAN?! IT'S HIS FAVORITE!!
I'm sorry if that has already been discussed, I just found it extra hilarious just right now.
I'll definitely pick up Bludgeon..and probably Thermidor too

That would explain why Wildbreak has the G1 Dragstrip alt mode instead of both sharing the same car and why their positions on the combiner are switched.

Btw i've tried TRU Singapore website as well as BBTS, Kapow, Smyth's Toys, Hamleys, Amazon, Ebay, The Chosen Prime, Robotkingdom & The Entertainer for Thermidor(either in stock or preorder) but sadly....no joy

A truck, the combiner chest plate just isn't flipped back.

Bludgeon and Twinferno are the next warrior buys for me. Keep passing on Blastwave so Bludgeon needs to get here so I can buy him too

I only bought Blastwave because I'll need it to review Bludgeon. If they AT LEAST would've given Blastwave a different face, I'd keep it.

Get red symbols, make him SG Bludgeon. that is why I have almost bought him several times!

Yeah but this mold is new, easy to come by, and is a better figure

Thinking more about it, he could be SG Aligned Bludgeon, now that there's a whole SG multiverse out there.D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Sabrblade wrote:But this is SG Bludgeon.D-Maximus_Prime wrote:chuckdawg1999 wrote:D-Maximus_Prime wrote:I have the crash combiners I wanted, so I am happy.

Anyways, this looks like it'll be a pretty decent figure. Not something to go out of your way for, but I see myself snagging this if it happens to be on the shelf.

Makes sense - Samus just had two new games revealed, why not a toy to go along with them?

really puts the disguise in robots in disguise.
Only looks like dc/tf in the most superficial of ways. There maybe be some interesting Warriors I'd pick up it I weren't futilely holding out saving my mons, hon, for TR figures, but I don't think I'd pick this up if RID was the only line instead of 1 of 3.

"Shhhhhhh. Thermidor"

Its absolutely brilliant.
With Bisque being a smooth, creamy, highly seasoned soup of French origin, classically based on a strained broth of lobster, Thermidor is a French dish consisting of a creamy mixture of cooked lobster meat, egg yolks, and brandy, stuffed into a lobster shell.

Yes, Will, I Know what Lobster Thermidor is, thank you. It's still a groan worthy pun.

Well I didnt know until this character came out. And now thats all I want to eat.
Funny though how lobster used to be seen as a terrible thing to eat, so much so that prisons were not allowed to feed them to prisoners more than twice a week since it was deemed too cruel.

That I didn't know. Interesting, thank you.
Lobster can do that to you, I heard of lobster rolls around a year ago (Mmmm, Lobster shreds with a fresh slaw on a warm roll) and since then it has been my life's quest to find a good one. Being in literally the center of the country, however, has made that hard.
BACK ON TOPIC (Why do I always pull people off topic about food?)
Bludgeon looks cool. Twinferno looks cool. LOVE the flame accessories. Those look amazing.

Yup, geting all three, no question. I really love this line for its inventive designs.

More fun Thermidor facts: Thermidor is a blue lobster, which is a real thing. These are estimated to be found once out of about 2 million lobsters. (And I look afterwards and of course the wiki dudes already noted this.)
Fine then, more trivia. Thermidor is the name of the 11th month in the French Republican Calendar. Most of the RiD episodes where Thermidor appeared premiered in November, the 11th month on our calendar. Also, the word has "come to mean a retreat from more radical goals and strategies during a revolution, especially when caused by a replacement of leading personalities" says Wikipedia. This is applicable to Thermidor since Clawtrap stole his ship, and since Starscream punted the Scavengers aside in Season 3 as the main villain.
Finally, Thermidor is first seen in a cold environment, which could possibly be a reference to appliance company Thermador who have a high reputation for their commercial use refrigerators.
Basically, Thermidor is the best name.

It would then look more like a regular jet Mode I think.
I hope the presence of Movie toys in the UK doesn't prevent these coming out.
Do we have confirmation of the rest of the Warrior wave yet as I heard a rumour that Ratchet & Bisk Repacks might be in the same wave - and we never got them in the UK.
