Thanks to Snakas Blog, we have a new image of the upcoming Robots in Disguise: Combiner Force Crash Combiner Shocknado! Shocknado is comprised of Shockdrive and Warnado (didn't see those names coming, did ya?) and appears to be nearly a straight re-deco of Skyhammer. Warnado in particular is worth looking at, as he appears to be styled similarly to Cyclonus. Also shown off were the upcoming Lunar Force Primestrong and another image showing the previous 2 figures and Dragbreak together. Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

That artwork really looks like galvatron and cyclonus.

I misread as Sharknado.

CRAP, so it's not Shockwave. :-(

*looks at Shockdrive's and Warnado's names*

...

*notices Warnado, or "War Tornado" looks like Cyclonus*

...

*groans* :roll:

This is strange because the legion IS called Cyclonus. Maybe Warnado will be his alias?
Then again, not exactly like this size class has been very accurate - Dragbreak, anyone?

The Legion is Cyclonus proper, as the Galvatronus combiner one has the same alt mode.

Hey guys, how do the legend/scout-ish figures of Optimus, Strongarm, Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Grimlock that came in the mini-con battlepacks scale with Generations Legends? Same size, bit smaller, bit bigger? Anyone got pics?

They are slightly bigger.

(far right Grimlock)

Courtesy of a post on Instagram by user Marcus Goh, we finally have a sighting for some new RiD Warriors - the long-awaited redecos of Blastwave and Bisk; Bludgeon and Thermidor! These were sighted at Singapore retail with unfortunately no details on the price or store, but we at least now know they're out there and they may start popping up elsewhere shortly. Check out the picture below and tell us if you plan to get these two in the Energon Pub!

Can't wait for these to trickle down in my neck of the woods. I've been tempted to buy the cosplay Bludgeon (Blastwave) but I decided to just wait for the actual Bludgeon.

Really does look like the 'fisher price version' of the classic RotF Bluddy. Pass.

Not really digging the red parts on Bludgeon that should be more of a brownish (or somewhere in between), but that'll still be worth a pickup if I have the money and it ever shows up here. Almost picked up that precolored version, but this will be better even with that wacky red.

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. :lol:

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.

I've passed up on Bisk to wait for Thermidor (whose head sculpt I like much better, something about Bisk weirds me out for some reason). Hope I get a shot at him before too long.

Seibertron's one and only chuckdawg1999 is at it again! This time, he brings us a review of G2 RID Combiner Force Hyper Change Thunderhoof. Check out Chuck's quick review of this sturdy figure and let us know if you plan on picking this one up via online retail (as Chuck did) or hunting for him in the wild.

Amazon now has new stock images of:

Crash Combiners Dragstrip and Wildbreak
Crash Combiners Lunar Force Optimus Prime and Strongarm
Crash Combiners Shockdrive and Warnado

These should be coming out soon, let us know if ever you find them in stores either in our sightings section or sightings forum. Enjoy the images below.

Warnado.

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. :lol:

I'll definitely pick up Bludgeon..and probably Thermidor too :lol:

The addition of a knee joint would've made these crash combiners a lot more interesting to play with.

What kind of vehicle is that blue one that comes with the police car?

Re: Robots in Disguise Combiner Force Shocknado New In-Package Image (1887344)
Posted by Deadput on June 6th, 2017 @ 12:04pm CDT

Ugh Dragstrip and Wildbreak's colors are switched. (Therefore each of of them has the wrong head)

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

I have the crash combiners I wanted, so I am happy. Can't wait for the team combiners though!

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

If you're searching for the latest in Combiner Force offerings, look no further; the UltraBee and Menasor sets have been sighted on US soil! Both sets were sighted by yours truly in, of all places, local comic book shop Memory Lane Comics in coastal Wilmington, North Carolina. Despite them not being found in standard retail, this is a good sign: it means that they will soon hit brick-and-mortar stores of the norm very soon!

Our very own chuckdawg1999 has done a video review of Hyperchange Soundwave. In the video below he shows us the ins and outs of how this new figure transforms. If you are a fan of the Robots in Disguise series, you will want to know that Combiner Force figures are showing up at stores in the US.

I just got Skysledge & Stormhammer. Stormhammer is a bit to hair trigger for my liking - just look a him funny and he pops open on his own.

It's nice enough though.

Thinking more about it, he could be SG Aligned Bludgeon, now that there's a whole SG multiverse out there.

Autobase Aichi has shared new photos of Robots In Disguise Warrior Class Twinferno! We recently saw the Titans Return version of this character, but in his RID form he's totally reimagined as he's now a "Stealth Bomber" of some kind, and, well, he's orange. He does homage his original character, though, as he still has his signature dragon hands. Here are the in-box images!

Posted by BombshellDaBug on June 14th, 2017 @ 9:03pm CDT

Someone at Hasbro must REALLY like Twinferno/Doublecross if he's getting a RiD toy AND a Titans Return toy.

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.

really puts the disguise in robots in disguise. 8-}

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.

The first two are courtesy of Yong Zhang of HK-TF, while the latter is from Baidu user 全波段巡天. Check them all out below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!
