Thanks to fellow Seibertron staffer, xRotorstormx, we've been linked to Autobase Aichi and their tweet sharing the first news of a transforming role play version of the Decepticon Hunter weapon/tool from Robots In Disguise!

The Decepticon Hunter features a pop up functioning missile launcher with four plastic missiles and seems to take some cues from Cade's Knight's Temenos sword blaster from Age Of Extinction. We don't currently have a price or a release date, but it's assumed it should be relatively soon, and definitely before the end of the year. (We'll keep you updated.)

Woah, the thing is a sword AND a gun. That's pretty intimidating.

I wonder how effective it would be to use the thing in a convenience store hold-up? :-?

The last we saw of the upcoming Robots in Disguise Minicons was in the promotional image for Mega Optimus Prime where it was shown how they can interact with that figure. Now we have some nice new stock images of these Minicons along with images of their individual packaging. These also show the minicons with their clear plastic gear attached, which was previously seen here. It is to be noted that this extra gear can be combined among the figures to create a bonus non transforming figure. There is no picture of this combined figure yet.

These images come from the online Brazilian retailer Hobby Brinquedos and feature:

Beastbox
Divebomb
Dragonus
Ratbat
Sandsting
Sawback
Slipstream
and Velocirazor

I'm gonna guess $9.99. I know your up Nort, so same as a Legends, but thats just a guess. I hope they're a little cheaper.

I think it's more like bacugan due to the one step transformation from a basic geometric shape.

And they will retail for 4.99$ us each.

They had said before that the Energon animals were an unadvertised feature so we'll probably have to wait for one of us to buy them all and figure it out I guess.

I'd love that, particularly if they made his head somewhere between BY and G1 Scorponok.

Unfortunately they weren't shown there either. They told us about that feature on the show floor and laughed about how they forgot to really bring that up anywhere else :lol:

Thanks Scotty, I thought they were shown based on the written presentation feed, my mistake. I know you and Ryan were laughing while saying that they will probably not be in the instructions either. Do you guys think that will actually be the case?

Wouldn't surprise me, I think they view it as more of an Easter Egg than an actual selling point.

Too bad, I love this kind of stuff and if hardcore collectors knew of this it might encourage them to get them all for the extra figure. Akin to the Marvel build a figure waves which I know Jon thought should be implemented in the Transformers line.

It'd be neat if they could do an actual transforming Collect-and-build figure.

These guys do look really cool. I'm diggin the little squirts! I may not get any of them, or even just get one for the heck of it since they're expected to be cheap, but they are really cool! The combined energon figure is a nice touch too.

I guess it's that time of year where we get all the minicon news. Following yesterday's pictures, we now have a few more showing for the first time how the main Deployer figure (in this case Drift) can use the clear weapons reserved for the minicon. We also see how the minicon can plug into the deployer while still wearing the clear gear. This also gives us a great comparison to the Warrior Drift figure. The photos were found on autobase aichi's blog site Snakas.

Hot off the heels of the Drift Deployer reported earlier today Autobase Aichi isn't done with us yet, for now they bring us Transformers Robots in Disguise: Deployer Fracture and AirRazor! The figure is shown in both modes and with his Minicon all bling'd up in additional (and fashionable) clear plastic. We also get to see a comparison with the 1-Step Fracture, but unfortunately only in alt mode. See the pics below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com: home for the best Galleries and Conversation around!

I find it interesting that Drift comes with Jetstorm when Slipstream is the better student of the two.

Well, neither Drift nor Fracture scanned an Earth altmode in the show, so their being in their Cybertronian forms would fit.

Fracture acquires an Earth vehicle mode later. Presently, in America, the episode hasn't aired where he is seen as the Earth bike that all of his other toys are. The episode is called "Sideways" and it should be airing this Saturday. >:oP

That was the joke. It is a sword but its too big for him (legendary weapon and all that), so he uses it as a gun.

Our second review in a row today sees a recently spotted figure from the Transformers: Robots in Disguise line, courtesy of fellow Seibertronian chuckdawg1999: Hyperchange (Three Step) Steeljaw. Find out below, in the write-up and embedded video, what they thought of the toy!

While the Hyperchange line will never be called the peak of Transformers engineering, Steeljaw is a fine figure and in my opinion the best representation of the character thus far. Transformation is limited to three steps, but due to the magic of automorph a lot happens in those three steps creating a very nice looking robot. Obviously this figure is made for smaller hands but a collector might find enjoyment as a desk toy.

The official Transformers YouTube channel brings us a commercial for the Land Down Under, featuring the Mega Optimus Prime toy from the Transformers: Robots in Disguise line! The big blue/red three-step himself already features in the Seibertron.com galleries, so feel free to compare the multiple angles and shots we offered to the commercial's animation, with the embedded video below.

That's not the "mega" OP. That's the good old 3 steps... Or is it, like, the upscaled version of the 3 steps?

It sure don't look like the Amazing OP coming soon from Takara.
