SDCC 2016: Robots in Disguise Preview Night Gallery with Bisk, Ratchet, Windblade, Minicons and more #HasbroSDCC

I like the look of Bisk and Windblade. Dragonus and Scorponok look great too. The others I'll look at later.

I'm really excited for Bisk and Ratchet. Cannot wait for those 2

When does Paralon actually drop in TRU stores in the US? It doesn't show up in TRU website search yet.

And for that matter, is there an ETA yet for the actual RiD Scorponok as seen at SDCC?

Dunno, whenever their stock clears enough to warrant getting a re-stock at such a time that coincides with the warehouses having the new exclusives in. Considering mine is still waist deep in the original 'clash' figures from last year, my chances aren't looking so great

Hmm, not at all digging that Windblade. Scorponok and Bisk though? Oh yeah, I'm getting those!

There is no release date for Paralon in the US, it will come when it comes.

The ETA for RID Scoropnok is from 1-2 months (maybe even earlier, but not later). It was already been released elswhere : http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... ail/35657/

No time to rest folks! With San Diego Comic Con in full swing, we bring to you our next gallery, that of the new Robots in Disguise Products on display this Thursday! These new products include a new 5-step Starscream mold and includes a little minicon for him, a new 3-step Bisk figure, and also the American display of the Toys R Us Warriors that William-James88 as already wonderfully reviewed. Check out some of the images below, and click HERE for the full gallery!

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyep.

...Starscream's definitely coming back next season.

During this big week of reveals at SDCC, we do have some fun news for new toys found at retail. Fellow Podcast star Scotty P has found the latest Mincon 4 pack at retail. This 4-pack includes: Dragonus, Bashbreaker, Lancelon, and Lord Doomitron. The individual weapon minicons have only been found in the UK so far and this 4 pack was only available online so this is the first taste of the weapon Minicons for the Americans who wait to find these toys at retail. These were found at a Target in Cary, NC for $16.99 Let us know if ever you come across the individual weapons!

Thank you!

Then you should have reported it

The recent show clip confirms that the Exclusive TRU Starscream toy is in show accurate colours. So Starscream wont be a wide release afterall. Dont know about any redecos yet though.

Unless there's a wide release version whose deco is similar but less accurate.

Citizens of Seibertron, we have even more SDCC footage for you, again from our reporter in the field, Seibertron. This time, it's of all the old and new Transformers: Robots in Disguise line that was on display this San Diego Comic Con, including the return of Starscream! Check it out below and, as always, keep it right here, on Seibertron.com for all of the latest and greatest Transformers news.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Scottyp, we have confirmation that wave 8 of the Transformers: Robots in Disguise legion class has hit US retail, more specifically, in Raleigh, NC! The figures Scott spotted were as follows: Ratchet (in new packaging), Blizzard mode Drift, and Groundbuster (not pictured). Check out the image Scotty has provided down below, and check out Seibertron's galleries of the other RID Legion figures.

I found single carded Back and Ransack yesterday. There's a problem, though, I found Back at TJ Maxx and Ransack at Marshalls, they're already at close out! Nuts! I blame Ghostbusters ! Really, though, i wonder what happened. I am glad someone found the 4 pack at Target.

Hello Seibertronians! We've got another Robots in Disguise sighting for you today, this time of the 5th wave of deploy-able Minicons! Coming from user Counterpunch, just after ScottP sighted some RID legion figures a few days ago. These little figures, consisting of Ransack, Glacius, and Scortch-strike Jetstorm, were all found in Metaire, Louisiana at Marshall's for $6.99! Take a look at the image Counterpuch provided below, and then check out Seibertron's galleries of the rest of the RID minicons here!

Wait, there was a wave three in stores? I never seen anything other than one and two. That was only just a week or two ago as well. I've seen the four packs though but not any of the singles. I'd rather they just keep releasing them in singles though as I actually like the translucent armor and weapons and the four packs only have those for two of them.

Wave 3 and 4 were both found at merket six stores like Ross and Marshalls.
The bigger stores sold off their inventory probably due to the line's weaponizer rebranding which these minicons are not a part of.

I pretty regularly check Ross, TJ Maxx, Big Lots and Marshalls and haven't seen any of these from any wave. Last week I had the opportunity to check a 5 below and a DD's Discounts and still nothing. The best I've found in months was the five step Megatronus Toys R Us exclusive at a Ross that I left on the shelf because I didn't want it.

After the in-hand images we saw a while back for the two new Warrior class figures in the Transformers: Robots in Disguise line - Scorponok and Windblade - we also have two video reviews for the Decepticon and Autobot, courtesy of tfrWLDNAS on YouTube in his post Roll Out Roll Call haul look. Check them out embedded below!

Like the look of Windblade and Scorponok! Since the Titan Force set (off of eBay) will be arriving sometime soon, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for Scorponok.

I picked up a warrior class Thunderhoof yesterday, somewhere here in North Carolina east of Topsail Beach, and I seem to have a problem with him. Honestly, it could be user error, but I can't get his legs to snap in properly when transforming him to alt mode. Any help would be appreciated.

The exact issue is in snapping his tractor cab together.

Well dang Iron! I just transformed him because I wanted to help you out, but he just went right together.
I remember having a similar issue the first couple of times I TFed him too. Is it the main tabs that hold his legs together that are giving you trouble?

I found the problem.

Two of the same part, when they should be opposites?

Do you have the receipt to bring it back to the store?

Talking about horrid QC/QA. That would definitely make it hard for it to come together. Is the best thing taking it back to the store for a refund or swap of a possible defective one again or would it be better in contacting Hasbro with it?

Anyone know if this is Generations Legends sized?

Nope. Bought it while traveling on vaca, and tossed the receipt with other travel trash. Ah well, guess he stays in robot mode.

Kinda in between legends and deluxe size.

Legends sized.

Definitely Generations sized, right? Like, Swerve and Windcharger and Groove and not the Legion size RiD has for some reason kept?

The RID Commander class are all just a tad bigger than the Legends. Just a tad.

... just a tad taller than Generations Legends or RiD Legends?

edit: never mind, just saw your picture. Helps a lot, thanks!

So basically the size of the old Cyberverse Commander class, but with 5mm hands.

So close to having the old Basic/Scout class size back.

Cobotron wrote:The RID Commander class are all just a tad bigger than the Legends. Just a tad.

Playing with that toy right now, I love all that articulation in that size.

I saw warrior class Grimlock (G1 paint) on the pegs for the first time and I was surprised when I saw the back of the package. I'm sorry if this has been brought up multiple times before but I'm not a fan of this line at all but what I saw got my attention really.

Will we see a Takara release of Grimlock with those awesome shine paint apps? Thanks in advance.

Anyone else get TAV Hyper Surge Optimus?

Thoughts?

Aside from the deco, is he any different to the Hasbro version?

But yeah I asked so that people who own the mold could also reply with their thoughts, especially since this is the Hasbro thread.

I don't know if that's better or worse

Fellow Seibertronian Bounti76 has sent us a notification of Transformers Robots in Disguise Legion class Groundbuster and Bisk finally showing up at US retail, after several reviews, galleries, images and whatnots - including our own set of galleries for both Decepticon beasties here. Check out proof of purchase below, from a Walmart in Centerville, Utah!

Remember, if you come across new toys, make sure to flag them up in our regional boards, and in the Sightings database to help out fellow fans and collectors.

lol, wasn't aware this sighting was news, posted them in the Illinois sightings thread a week or two ago

Poor neglected RID.

John Warden (or the guy interviewing him) even forgot it existed (as they did Rescue Bots too) in the recent Forbes interview.

Well I say interview more like a press release pretending to be an interview.

Dont you have access to the news admin page for quick searches?



But its ok, many found him before too, like Ironhidensh, but nobody thought to report them.

I am so sad for the toyline. Those minis ended up at TJMAxx and such? Damn. and then finding these guys is so hard anywhere and the distribution sucks. I really want these guys, but just can't find them!

The molds of most minis were available in other ways right? Like Hammer is with Crazybolt and Back is with Battlepack Grimlock. And the others are in that 4 pac with weapon slipstream. If one skips wave 3 and 4, is tehre a mold that we wouldnt have?

It's not that I want different molds, it's that I want to finish the minicon pairs. I want forth to go with my back, I want Swelter and Glacius so I have that pair, and I need Ransack to go with Backtrack, so it's more me finishing the show minicon pairs
