Transformers Robots in Disguise (2015) : McDonalds Happy Meal Toys Video Review

Okay, while I do appreciate Fixit being the only McAutobot whose back isn't hollowed out, I think I'll stick with the Legion Fixit as my main Fixit figure.

If any of you find a picture of Razorpaw official altmode, please post them up so that we can see them.

In the 2015 Robots In Disguise series, are Megatron and Megatronus completely two different characters?

The only hollowed part of Underbite is his inner legs, which is not too apparent. Plus, his gimmick is fun, AND he scale perfectly well in a Cyberverse scale battle!

Underbite isn't a McAutobot.

Does it really matter what faction he is?

It does when I was speaking of Fixit in relation to only his teammates rather than the entire selection of toys as a whole. Otherwise, I wouldn't have specified "McAutobot".

Have to agree with the animal head thing. Hated it in Beast Wars too though as a character I loved Silver bolt.

I'm sick of the stylised transformers of recent years whether it's the no nose bots from Prime, the cartoony Animated show and the messes that are Bay formers with their hair and buck teeth.

Don't get me wrong I've each series fire what they are but I still don't like the move from the G1/Unicron trilogy aesthetic.

Thing is, guys, most of these Decepticons aren't ordinary Cybertronians. They're different species from the regular ones. Underbite's a Chompazoid. Hammerstrike's a Sharkticon. Chop Shop's likely an Insecticon (the show only calls him a Combiner). Terrashock's a Buffaloid. Filch is a Corvicon (confirmed in a book). Minitron is a Cyber-tick. Springload is an Amphiboid. Malodor and his crew are Skunkticons. Etc. etc.

Most of them are essentially Cybertronian fauna who have ascended beyond their status as animals, but each took a path that landed them all in stasis cells and being shipped offworld as convicts.

Evolution apparently got all cattywampus after the All-spark was returned to Cybertron.

Thanks Optimus.

To be fair, the Well of All Sparks did also make a whole host of species when it first populated Cybertron way back in the Age of Evolution, with the Predacons being the last species to emerge from it at the end of its first creation run.

thats the whole theme of these new decepticons= maninaml robot turns into earth vehicle or in the case of filch robot to bird, i know its weird but i find it interesting

Hey guys, just found these at Family Dollar. They look like Mini Titans or something. They had Prime, Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Steeljaw

We have already seen some in-hand images of the latest Warrior class Transformers Robot in Disguise figures here, but fellow fan and blogger tagoal have decided to give quite an in-depth look at the two Autobots. Check out a selection of mirrored images below, and head here for Jazz and here for Sideswipe in full!

Sideswipe looks NICE.

Hm, the packaging art expressions look creepy and the toys look so incredibly cheapo super-plasticky...

Is Sideswipe... shiny?

Sabrblade wrote:Is Sideswipe... shiny?

Someone probly buffed him up for the photo session.

Why did whoever taking the pics partially censor the scan ring?

Kyleor wrote:Why did whoever taking the pics partially censor the scan ring?

Probably to keep people from scanning these pics.

I wouldn't see why, they only stay unlocked for a day... Probably a request from Hasbro, or simply keeping it safe

For those curious, the stylised 速 on Sideswipe's chest means "quick".

Takara's going to have give Jazz quite an effort to make me interested in his mold. Sideswipe however, looks awesome. Hasbro usually lacks head/tail light paint apps but this time they're present, so I'm curious to see how they could improve him

Funny what happens when the person taking pictures has a little imagination with poses

sideswipe looks great I just hate that head design
not to keen on Jazz all that white makes him look a little on the cheap side

I could see Takara making Sideswipe a much brighter shade of red like his look in the show.

Glad to see Jazz can hold his lance like that.
Sideswipe's feet are cool.

Still looking great the RID line has been very solid so far IMO. I wonder why Sideswipe is so magenta though. Maybe it's just the camera

Dat stare....

I have accepted my new overlord, JAZZ

I've said it before, I'll say it again. When I see these two, they're bought on sight. Gorgeous figures. Absolutely FABULOUS!

I like the sideswipe mold. I really dont care about these animated style renditions of the characters, but I am very interested in who funpub might eventually use the RID molds to homage.

Jazz desperately needs his Visor. That 1000 yard stare is just unnerving. Sideswipe looks very nice in his Anime, ninja, robot design and you cannot go wrong when Anime, Ninja and Robot are used in the same sentence like that.

He does seem to be rocking the Japanese delinquent pompadour style.

crappy show, even crappier figures.........wft is up with jazz's face. laughable stuff here.

Crappy show?


Aside from the first two episodes and the Springload one this show is pretty good.




Better then most of Prime (aside from like 7 episodes mostly thinking of Smokescreen's debut episode)




Why do think its crappy?



(Edit just notice I've been promoted to Gestalt team leader huh)

Jazz look cheap as hell. I have bad FOC flashbacks... Let's see if Takara can save him.

On the other hand, Sideswipe look ultra SEXY! He'll be bought on sight.

I think he just needs some reprolabel stickers and he will look better.




And also a visor but since Jazz barley uses it in the actual show I can somewhat understand why they gave him no visor but regardless its still stupid.

No way in hell will I buy Repros for the RiD deluxes. They already cost 20$+tx and it will cost me another 20$ just for the labels. No way. I do buy Repros, but only for figures that are worth it, like CW Megatron. Why buy Hasbro+Repros when the Takara with premium paint aps cost around 20-25$ shipped?

Just compare the Bumblebees and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I just replied to buy something that is not broken from the start. Why pay double for Hasbro, when you can have Takara perfection from the get-go for half the price?

I thought Sideswipe's signature thing was having those serrated protrusions on his forearms. Why couldn't the manufacturers incorporate that somehow? This just makes him look like TF Prime Cliffjumper.

Well me and u differ from what shows we think are good, cuz i personally loved TF Prime, i think it was the best TF show ever made.
What i dont like about RID is, it has abandoned the serious tone and become a pure kiddy show, i understand that it is made mostly for kids, but i hate what they did to grimlock, its sad! the animation isnt that good, and well anytime prime is dead or not the main guy the show just doesnt work, sure bee is kinda alright as a leader, but its just not doing it overall for me. I think it would have been awesome had the contuined prime for the older crowd, and had a show like RID for the kids. Why not appeal to both sides of the spectrum?
Hell most adults collect and buy their toys...........the kids in my family arent into TFs like when i was a kid in the 80s and 90s

thats my 2 cents...........and please dont take it as im dissing u, like most senstive tfs would, just stating why i dont like the show, glad u like it, enjoy it, just not for me

The main mistake was to make RiD the sequel to Prime. If RiD had a backstory that were just a wee bit different and if it was it's own thing, it would have been much better.

For what it si, I'm enjoying the show. It's not as good as Prime, for sure, but it's not Armada level either.

It's always funny when Transformers drive vehicle versions of themselves.

Intricate tampo's and cheap-looking plastic are the worst combination. You can't even mask them to give the plastic a nice coat of paint.

It gets super loopy in the case of underbite. He is driving his robot mode.

Well, TF's in general, really. A few months ago, I'd planned to actually get AOE Crosshairs and give him a nice metallic candy green paint job, but quickly realized I'll NEVER be able to properly mask the black racing pattern things on the sides of his alt mode, let along replicate it.

I respect that other collectors don't mind that their toys actually look like toys, but I like to make them look as realistic as I can for my display case, especially the movie figs.

Once uppon a time, in the first original RID line, we had vehicles with metalic paint, clear lights and windows, and rubber tires. These were just the regular deluxes at regular deluxe prices! I dunnow how the economics worked at the time, but if you want that level of quality for a deluxe figure, you have to go for some uber collectible line that sell figures at 80$ a pop.

Nice way to tie it in with RID producs The funny thing is that even these brand new are still not too expensive.

The good old days. Hell, even as recent as the ROTF line, we had Sideswipe whose alt mode was completely painted in silver paint, complete with clear plastic headlights and windows, and color-accurate tail lights.

Yup, aka the Masterpiece line. For non-G1 toys, though, you'll either have to get handy with an airbrush/spray can, or commission a customizer for it.
