I believe he's called Fracture and transforms into a motorbike. Instead of being an animal-con like the rest he comes with two animals Mini-Cons in the show. The disc is one of Drift's Mini-Cons I think

And TF:RID continuity gets murkier.....Slipstream was already well established to be a female seeker in the WFC/Prime/Aligned continuity....now Slipstream is a male Autobot minicon?

In-continuity namesakes become extremely common when Mini-Cons come into play. Look at Armada, Energon, Cybertron and especially within the Mini-Con Groups themselves.

At this point, I'm going to say that the only internal consistency with TF:RID is strictly with the TF:Prime cartoon and NOTHING else. No comics, video games, packaging bios, pack-in stories, or ANYTHING ELSE ancillary to the TF:Prime cartoon, even if otherwise regarded as official or cannon stories. At best, I think the "aligned continuity" is proving just to be another continuity family with several different flavors involved (WfC/FoC games, versus novelizations, versus cartoon, versus toy fiction, versus whatever else). At worst, I think Hasbro just doesn't care, and spent a whole lot of time, energy, and money rebooting their Transformers brand continuity for the modern age to simply give up on it and not care a scant few years later. Long story short, don't try to make sense of any of it. Continuity only works for the aligned universe if you isolate the stories by media outlet (videogames, books, shows, etc.). Across media, the fiction doesn't complement itself.

To me, the WFC/FOC games are as linked to the Aligned continuity presented in Prime as the Marvel comics were linked to the G1 continuity presented in the show.
It's stories using the same characters and backstories but not necessarily linked to eachother more than that.

I agree, but there's one problem. In TF:Prime, Unit E was set up specifically to deal with Decepticon threats on Earth. I believe a prison ship crashing on Earth would be exactly what they're meant to deal with. But instead, the TF:RID allies are a dad and his kid who run a junkyard?
They'd better explain that awful quick when the series starts.

Hoping that the Rid Minicon deployers bigger figures are Voyager class and are fully articulated. If they are, Then I plan to buy Fracture. The skeptic in me thinks The bigger figures are only Deluxe class toys.
Have plans to buy that Three step Transformation Voyager class Steeljaw toy. Think the character design from the Deluxe toy will translate nicely into a Three step Voyager toy.
Probably going to be picking up a few minicons. Especially the ones named after the 1986 Predacons. Just hoping they look like the characters.
Still on the fence whether I want to buy the Warrior Deluxe class Steeljaw toy or not. Might be tempted to buy a black Repaint called Ravage. Think if Hasbro doesn't do it, TFCC will.

If it helps in any way, I love Steeljaw.
Contrary to what every reviewer has shown other than Seibertron, it stands perfectly fine. It's just that people keep mis transforming the legs and it throws the balance off. Once you realize where the legs need to and WANT to be (there is an indicator as to where the legs should be for it to stand), it stands pretty well. It seems most people go past this point and have problems because of it. If you go backwards from the point I just mentioned and move the legs slightly (like a millimeter) back into vehicle mode it can even stand with it's tail and arms pointed straight back and not fall over. The legs also want to stand at an "A" stance because that's where the flat parts of the feet are. Most reviewers seemed to ignore that just so they could have something to complain about. Speaking of complaining, the arm flaps don't matter. So what if they're a little loose, it's not like you're going to be smacking them around once it's displayed on a shelf. I've seen people brush off hips that are so loose that they do the splits every single time you stand the figure but loose arm flaps are what sets everyone off? Just stop people and cut it out, the arm flaps are far from a real problem.
What is bad though are the arms but even then they're not THAT bad. When you try to bend them normally at the elbow, the pin in the elbow will begin to slide back as if it were transforming into vehicle mode. Just remember to give a slight pull on the arms to make sure it's lined up properly before bending the elbow. Also while the shoulders do have good range of motion, they look weird when you move the arms outward because of where they put that hinge. However, it needed to be like that in order to get that joint due to how the arms transform but it is unsightly.
Are there a LOT of questionable and bad design choices with Steeljaw? Yes, absolutely. There are many things that could have and should have been done better.
Is the figure bad because of them? Hell no. Most problems people are having with it are user based and not necessarily the fault of the design choices.

Speculating it will be a G1 Autobot Steeljaw update toy done in Yellow.
Guessing if anyone does the Black repaint and calls it Ravage it will be TFCC.

Guessing if anyone does the Black repaint and calls it Ravage it will be TFCC.

I wouldnt bet on that yellow repaint since he is being called "Snarl".

A "Steel Joe" he's not
This listing may not necessarily be correct however. Either that, or TAV10 Snarl (the Animated Dinobot) may need to get renamed.

That's Fracture's Deployer gimmick. Kinda looks like a disc shooter to be honest, the discs being the Mini-Cons. Drift will have the same gimmick.

Oy, the way they're using the term "Deployer" is gonna confuse a lotta people. The term is meant to refer to the kind of TF (usually a Minicon) that is bonded to a larger TF like Soundwave or Blaster. It's essentially a modern day replacement for "Cassette" since none of them turn into cassettes.
To put it into more understandable terms, Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, Laserbeak, etc. are all Minicons who are Soundwave's Deployers.

These minicons remind me of the Blaster and Soundwave data disks. Also the blue dinosaur one so reminds me of Dial's dinocassette partner. Not good wih the names of those guys but yeah, I get a definite vibe there.
I'm liking that Prime actually. He's reminding me of like a Star Convoy, Grandus mix, but the outline reminds me of Sky Garry in bot mode.

Other than the hero mashers, I will probably wind up wanting basically all of this. I know I shouldn't like the deployers or....Anything other than the Warriors, and that probably makes me not a true fan. I don't care. I like the aesthetic, and the show looks like it'll be fun (while it lasts).

Sideswipe is surprisingly cool. He's the only thing making me want in on this line so far. Not even the big Prime is doing it for me. But that's okay. More money for all the TOTALLY AWESOME Combiner Wars toys coming out.

While Seibertron has provided a bunch of photos of the newly announced Robots in Disguise figures, showcased at the US Toy Fair, we now also have a video for you. This video shows what was found on the showcase floor. You can spot the newly announced Minicons, the Deployers, the new Warrior and Legion class figures as well as the giant Super Bumblebee and Mega Optimus Prime.

Cool bit about the Minicons - each sprue has a piece on it that can be combined with pieces from other Minicons, and if you buy the whole wave of them you can make a new bot out of said pieces. Pretty neat concept! The transformations also really remind me of the data discs from FoC, just not automatic/spring-loaded like those.

Sideswipe looks amazing and Jazz looks good too. While I liked Deployers Fracture before, I really like him a whole lot more now after seeing his alt mode. I don't care for Deployers Drift at all but since he comes with Jetstorm I'll probably pick him up. I love Minicons and Legion figures so I'll get all of them. One step Thunderhoof looks awesome and I can't wait for him to get a Warrior class figure. The rest don't really interest me in any real way. A really good showing for RID.

While Seibertron has provided a bunch of photos of the newly announced Robots in Disguise figures, showcased at the US Toy Fair, Hasbro has released the official pictures.
These give us an up close look at the new minicons and the clear armour bits they come with. It is interesting to note that these clear plastic pieces are packaged in a way that imitates the minicon's fraction symbol. The ones shaped as disks are for Drift while the ones shapes like arrow heads (torpedos) are for Fracture.
Scott notes the following regarding what he saw at the show:
These minicons include:
Akita Wolf
BeastBox
Buzzsaw
Dragon
Fracture
Jetstorm
Ratbat
Scorpion
Slipstream
Sliver
Deployers
Hyperchange Steeljaw
Mega Optimus Prime
Super Bumblebee
Warrior Class figures
One Step
Legion Class Figures

Well, forget the one-step. I'll take that Legion Fixit.
Sideswipe still looks cool, but something about Jazz just doesn't feel right. I'll probably still get him because, screw it, it's fucking Jazz.

So many of these promo shots are basically repeats of each other...
The Mini-Cons are a bit of a lot of things: the Data Discs, the Construct-Bot dinosaurs, even a bit of BMOG. I wonder if there's a specific bot you make after getting them all, or if it's just an open-ended make whatever.

I actually really love these minicons, especially the autobot ones. But I really dont like the Deployers themselves. That drift alt mode looks horrendous. I would have preferred a non transforming drift is I was going to get something this bad. Also, it is so odd how the one step fracture has a much better alt mode than the more expensive Deployer Fracture.
Lastly, I thought Jazz looked weird too, and then I realized he had eyes.
That Sideswipe looks awesome though!

Anybody else getting an Energon Omnicon/Terrorcon vibe from these minicons? These in my opinion fill a collecting niche that the Construct-bots Dinobot Riders and before that Botshots filled. Something inexpensive to waste my money on Any pricing on them yet? They look cute, but they'll certainly cost enough that I'll hesitate to buy them. It's also neat that the transparent armor pieces will combine into their own robot.
