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!

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.

Makes sense - Samus just had two new games revealed, why not a toy to go along with them?

Stealth bomber with giant dragon heads sticking out? ohhhhhhhhhhhkay
really puts the disguise in robots in disguise.
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.

After the in-package images from a couple of days ago, we now also have in-hand images of the Transformers: Robots in Disguise Combiner Force figures for Thermidor, Twinferno and Bludgeon! 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!

Its absolutely brilliant.
With Bisque being a smooth, creamy, highly seasoned soup of French origin, classically based on a strained broth of lobster, Thermidor is a French dish consisting of a creamy mixture of cooked lobster meat, egg yolks, and brandy, stuffed into a lobster shell.

Well I didnt know until this character came out. And now thats all I want to eat.
Funny though how lobster used to be seen as a terrible thing to eat, so much so that prisons were not allowed to feed them to prisoners more than twice a week since it was deemed too cruel.

That I didn't know. Interesting, thank you.
Lobster can do that to you, I heard of lobster rolls around a year ago (Mmmm, Lobster shreds with a fresh slaw on a warm roll) and since then it has been my life's quest to find a good one. Being in literally the center of the country, however, has made that hard.
BACK ON TOPIC (Why do I always pull people off topic about food?)
Bludgeon looks cool. Twinferno looks cool. LOVE the flame accessories. Those look amazing.

If you take the dragon heads off of Twinferno's alt mode it looks a great deal like Samus Aran's ship.
More fun Thermidor facts: Thermidor is a blue lobster, which is a real thing. These are estimated to be found once out of about 2 million lobsters. (And I look afterwards and of course the wiki dudes already noted this.)
Fine then, more trivia. Thermidor is the name of the 11th month in the French Republican Calendar. Most of the RiD episodes where Thermidor appeared premiered in November, the 11th month on our calendar. Also, the word has "come to mean a retreat from more radical goals and strategies during a revolution, especially when caused by a replacement of leading personalities" says Wikipedia. This is applicable to Thermidor since Clawtrap stole his ship, and since Starscream punted the Scavengers aside in Season 3 as the main villain.
Finally, Thermidor is first seen in a cold environment, which could possibly be a reference to appliance company Thermador who have a high reputation for their commercial use refrigerators.
Basically, Thermidor is the best name.

I'd like to see what Twin-ferno looks like with the Dragon head folded under the wings (by his sides) and perhaps with the flame still in the mouths.
It would then look more like a regular jet Mode I think.
I hope the presence of Movie toys in the UK doesn't prevent these coming out.
Do we have confirmation of the rest of the Warrior wave yet as I heard a rumour that Ratchet & Bisk Repacks might be in the same wave - and we never got them in the UK.

Twinferno looks pretty good for an RID fig Paint apps are on par and I like his Robot mode design although he shares the same flaw of TR Twinferno being not having actual hands Dragon heads and his alt mode looks kinda dumb I mean a Bomber with dragon heads? That only makes sense as like a kinda chinese new year thing. I appreciate that the heads in Bot mode can use the weapons for a Flamethrower effect and they're used cleverly in the Bomber mode but a lack of a 5mm peg means you unfortunately can't use them as swords 
.
Thermidor is easily the best out of the three Bisk looks cool in both modes but this is just Spectacular
The blue really looks Badass here and both modes look better because of it. The new headsculpt looks Show accurate (I don't know for sure cause I havn't seen those eps or seen any screenshots with him in them) The guns do look a little out of place though

Our fellow Seibertronian chuckdawg1999 has brought us today another video review, and this time it's Transformers: Robots in Disguise Combiner Force One-Step Strongarm and Heatseeker! You can checkout his thoughts below too, and some comparisons in the video itself.
Strongarm and Heatseeker are new additions to the RID One Step line. Strongarm features a new transformation and is color matched to the Ultra Bee combiner figure. Heatseeker is the more interesting of the two since it's a new character with a slick vehicle mode. Both are good additions to your collections.

Hey guys, been a while.
I haven't seen anyone post a sighting of these guys, prolly just missed it..
Anyway, I picked up the Dragstrip set in the Park City Walmart north of Chicago.
I actually think they look alright for being so simple.
Aside from the minicons, this is the only thing I've bought from this line..

Fellow Seibertronian DISCHARGE has dropped by with a US sighting from the Transformers: Robots in Disguise line, specifically the new Combiner Force series: two-packs for Dragstrip / Wildbreak and Warnado / Shockdrive! These were found in a Chicago Walmart for $14.97, as you can see in the images below.

Want to rep your favorite robots this upcoming school year? Well, Toys R Us has you covered there, too, because a good deal on TLK toys was not all that catalog had to offer. No, in addition, we also got a look at two new pieces of Transformers merchandise: A Backpack featuring artwork from Transformers Robots in Disguise, plus a new silver Autobot symbol lunch bag to go with it! Rock these threads and then rock the forums threads down below by letting us know if you see these at TRU or anywhere else in the coming weeks, and definitely tell us if you plan to be the coolest kid in school and pick these up.

Along with the RID pack and the silver Autobot symbol lunch bag, she also found bags with artwork similar to standard Generations designs, plus an Autobot logo backpack!

According to twitter it looks like a new Transformers themed snack is going to be hitting shelves. These will be made by the brand Signature Kitchens which is owned and sold by Safeway grocery stores. They come in fun shapes of Transformers: Robots in Disguise characters, shown below.

They're like every fruit snack out there: artificial flavoring, gummy texture, and only slightly less likely to get stuck in your teeth than traditional Gummy Bears (rest assured, they will get stuck, but only to a slightly smaller extent). The shapes are hit-or-miss; there are as many that look like the picture on the box as there are those that are barely-decipherable blobs. You won't learn any more about Megatron in RID15 by buying these than you will by looking at the above pic.
That's not to say they're bad. It's just that fruit snacks are a dime-a-dozen product; if you've had one, you've had them all.

I work at a Harris Teeter grocery store in North Carolina. They've had those RID fruit snacks for about 2 years now...maybe 3 years. They cost like $.97 with your VIC card. They taste just like every other fruit snack. I buy them every once in awhile just for a treat...

There is lots of new Robots in Disguise toys found both online and in stores for Canadian fans.
Canada had skipped on every Legion class wave under the "weaponiser" so toys like Bisk and Grounpounder never appeared. However, Bisk is rereleased with Blurr under the "combiner force" subline and is currently found at Toysrus.
The latest Warriors such as Twinferno, Thermidor and Bludgeon have been found in Toysrus stores and are also available on both toysrus.ca and walmart.ca
The same applies to the latest wave of Crash Combiners which includes Dragbreak Lunaforce Primestrong and Shocknado. They have ben found at both Walmart and Toysrus stores but only Toysrus.ca has them online at the moment.

When it comes to Thermidor, this review, and images found within, will mostly be comparing him to Bisk. I'd love to review the toy as new but in reality he is similar to Bisk in every way aside from the head and deco. For those who do not own this mold, it is simply perfect. The alt mose is original, the robot mode has great personality with alt mode integration. It's a fun transformation that is not at all bothersome and both intuitive and creative. The real difference here is the deco and the head. The head has very features, he actually has pupils for a change.
The deco for the eyes works rather well. The paint may be sloppy depending on your copy, especially in the lower mandibles. The amount of paint apps between both is almost the same but Thermidore wins out with having his whole abdominal area painted silver while Bisk's is left unpainted. Also, I always appreciate when the rims are painted which is the case here so no need to wait for the Takara version here (not that it would happen).
I recomend this toy to any fan of the Bisk mold and to those who have not experienced this mold yet, as well to those who want a nice representation of the character found in the show. I am happy with my purchase and there isn't much more I could ask for.

Heh, Thermidor is to Bisk what Cryotek was to Transmetal 2 Megatron.

I like that Thermidor looks like he's ether happy or screaming depending on the angle you look at his face.

Maybe this one's face won't SNAP OFF. Great mold though, these colors really work it.

In nature, blue lobsters are rare and considered a sign of good luck by lobster catchers:

It IS! I have never seen such a full blue like this on TF plastic before. And the fact that only detailing on it is painted gives it a nice unifying look.
It only snaps off when the "neck" piece is not locked in correctly.
