Some new news for the Transformers Robots in Diguise line, too, in the smaller class of Legion figures. Thanks to the German branch of online retailer Amazon, we have a look at official photography of the known Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime, and new reveal Ratchet - which shares a lot of similarities to his Prime design, and could indicate a return of the grumpy medic to the screen. Let us know what you think in the Energon pub!

Not only has the Strongarm mold's head been remolded but its torso as well. Neat.

You know, if this is true, I'm pretty sure that Fixit will get a chance to meet his own predecessor for the first time, since that he, too, is also a medic.

Toys I couldn't care less for, but the art of Ratchet makes me hopeful we might see some of Team Prime in the show.

When Ultra Magnus got a Legion toy, his artwork was a recolored version of that toy's Optimus Prime art (with UM head added). The fact that Ratchet gets his own design in the artwork is very intriguing.

Notice how the box art design is completely different from the toy's?
I think there is a good chance that Ratchet can return since he chose to stay on Earth yes I know he came back to Cybertron for Predacons rising but it was an emergency and I'm pretty sure he went back afterwards

I bought a RiD toy.
He's small for a Legions, his mouth won't close, his little legs are nearly useless for any kind of support (such as the above pose), and his car has a big hole in the back
And it's rather depressing that this is the same size class that gave us the Dreads, the Terrorcons, and the highly articulated Fixit; and people will inevitably lose his eyes and legs.... But I guess Clampdown's alright.

We have a whole slew of new toy images for upcoming produts from the Transformers Robots in Disguise line. While some of these were previously seen as CG renders, these are pictures of the actual toys.
German wesbite Brandora has product images for Robots in Disguise Stealthsaurus Rex Grimlock. The stealth mode refers to him having the same colour pattern as the Stealth Bumblebee deco but this time on the Three Step Grimlock.
Amazon.ca has images for Titan Gardian Strongarm and Grimlock.
Hasbro Poland has the official toy images for the upcoming minicons Scorch Strike Jetstorm, Ransack, and Glacius, who are all part of the 4th wave of minicons.

The 7-year old is going to love new minicons.
Ugh...Titan figures, does anyone actually buy those? The 7-year old is already way too old to like them and the twins will beat each other with them.

Reportedly, the Titans are a hit in poorer markets where they can't afford actual transformers.

That would be great if these cost $5, but they don't. I think my local stores sell these for $20. You can actually buy deluxe transformers that, you know, transform for $5 less.

I just don't get the point of the shampoo bottles. They can't transform. They don't have the increased articulation that non-transforming Transformers often have. They don't have the increase in accuracy, sculpture and paintwork that minimally articulated figures often have. And they aren't even that cheap. If they were hugely poseable or gorgeously painted or extremely cartoon accurate or only £2 I might understand. But as is? There is literally no point to getting them over a Warrior class figure or even a one-step. I'm no economist, but there is absolutely no way that continuing to make these...things makes any sense for Hasbro. It decreases the budget they have for other lines and it takes up space on store shelves that could be used by stuff that will actually sell.

I weep for the ignorance on these boards regarding these "shampoo bottles". These arent Transfomers toys aside from having that branding. In reality, they are part of a bigger line called Titans from Hasbro which sells ridiculously well for 4 year olds, and are made of vynyl so that kids dont get hurt:
They are found in all Hasbro brands and this is what sells most under the Marvel umbrella. No reason Hasbro wouldnt try that success with another one of its monster brands. This isnt new and its been arond for a while and selling, and the world hasnt ended and Hasbro is still making traditional Transformers for you. No need to whine at something you dont understand and that isnt made for you!

They roughly share an altmode silhouette, but are otherwise different in every way.
(I guess the animation model of the "gun ball" mode may homage Dead End. My tinfoil hat theory is that the chaotic Cyclones (and only them, since we know normal Aligned Mini's are born like regular tfs) might tie into the Armada idea of Minicons being born of Unicron.)

The only captain planet i know is the one by Don Cheadle. I guess he wasnt that popular in Canada. Unlike Ms Frizzle and the magic schoolbus.
The Point Glarryg was making was that the RID line has turned into a bunch of redecos. And I was saying thats pretty much what the Prime line became in beasthunters. Sure, there was some remolding but it was basically using the same molds and selling them again under a different theme.

"some remolding":
But on the topic of RiD - it seems a lot like these camo decos are simply a reason to keep the existing cast on the shelves while focusing more on Decepticons. It allows Hasbro to put "new" Autobot toys on the shelves (and we always need new Autobot toys on the shelves) while putting design/engineering focus into the S1 and S2 Decepticons.

Yes, but, it was all the same single theme rather than all the characters getting several redecos based on a set number of multiple themes, which is what his post read more to me as referring to.william-james88 wrote:The Point Glarryg was making was that the RID line has turned into a bunch of redecos.

Prime at least gave us more than one Decepticon before unloading all the same Autobots again but with a new lick of paint.
Y'know, I'm kinda disappointed that nobody seems to have recreated Mad Max scenes with these Transformers, especially with Fury Road being such a success.
Granted, I dunno how many people even bothered to get the toys in the first place...

Not sure how I'd feel about that, a tail-less steeljaw figure? But wouldn't that leave him as an unbalanced mess with ineffectual articulation?
I mean, really, his tail was a big selling point and the third leg on which the figure balanced/counter-balanced; his arms have terrible articulation, along with his legs, nevermind that the car mode would still look like a wolfs head

Why would there be?
Because of the new character in the second episode of the new season who looks like a retool of Steeljaw?!
Not sure how I'd feel about that, a tail-less steeljaw figure? But wouldn't that leave him as an unbalanced mess with ineffectual articulation?
I mean, really, his tail was a big selling point and the third leg on which the figure balanced/counter-balanced; his arms have terrible articulation, along with his legs, nevermind that the car mode would still look like a wolfs head

Sorry, but it didn't look very re-tool-y in the show, but I wouldn't mind it if it was completely over-hauled, I would love one with nice articulation.

Well it took them this long to give us fracture, so I'm sure a bit character like polarclaw will get a figure in about 4.65 years after 12 additional sets of repaints

It is time for the Transformers Robots in Disguise App to have a new update and that leads to a ton of new possible characters and classes that can be unlocked. While some of these new additions have been game specific (as Ironhide and Pumpkin Optimus were), many of these will become toys. Some, like One Step Bisk, have already been revealed but we have other nice new surprises.
Firstly, Bisk and Ratchet seem to be getting quie a few new toys. Also, for those who thought it wasn't fair that only the Autobots were getting all the repaints, the Decepticon characters Paralon and Scatterspike appear to be redecos of Warriors Scorponok and Quillfire.
Below is a list and images of all the new charaters found in the app (courtesy fo the snakas blog) and please remember that these are only possibilities of upcoming toys and not confirmation that we will be getting them.
• Power Surge Optimus Prime
• Warrior Power Surge Optimus Prime
• Warrior Power Surge Elite Optimus Prime
• Switchblade Night Bumblebee
• Power Hero Bumblebee
• Power Hero Surge Bumblebee
• Power Hero Sideswipe
• One-Step Ratchet
• Warrior Ratchet
• Legion Bisk
• One-Step Bisk
• Warrior Bisk
• Hero Bisk
• Warrior Paralon
• Warrior Scatterspike

I know a lot of people are getting sick of the rid repaints, but when the repaint becomes a new character I'm all for it. Ratchet I'll pass on since I have the lovely prime ratchet but bisk and the two decepticon repaints I'm interested in.

Good! I'm now glad that Bisk will be finally getting a Warrior toy. This might lead us to believe that what will happen to Bisk is the exact same thing of what's going to happen to Clampdown and Springload. Perhaps, we might find out more at Botcon 2016. Come on, Hasbro! Please, make more of these Decepticons, now. 
Note: I'm curious to find out if all of these Decepticons will be released by Steeljaw in order for him to convert his team from a pack to a militia.

Well Bisk is a lobster so I feel obligated to buy him, assuming he's actually good. And assuming I can find him anywhere.

Poor Bisk...
Topic: Is there any way to get Airazor separately from the Deployer Fracture? I have no interest in the deployer, but Airazor looks like a fun little thing, especially if Divebomb is anything to go by.

More Decepticons are always a good thing. At the moment, I'm kind of ok with these repaints but only because I don't have a warrior Bumblebee, Optimus Prime or red Sideswipe yet. At least now I can pick the one I like the most and just buy that one in case I ever do want to buy any RID Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. I do want a red Sideswipe as I really like the Clash grey version and I just don't understand the hate this mold gets. Yeah the chest should've plugged in better but it's not difficult to fix and there have been far worse problems with figures that people found perfect.
I just wish that we'd get a Filch already. I'm glad we're getting a new Windblade and going by all of the others getting repaints, an arctic deco Windblade. It's just that I'd love another Decepticon fembot especially one that could work as a new Airazor sometime down the line. Better yet, work Airachnid into the show too so she can have a second chance at a better figure. She is one of the only Decepticons from Prime who's still an enemy and still alive on the loose so it's not THAT far of a stretch she'd be in RID. She can command her army of Insecticons to stir up some trouble. And there's another new mold we still need from Prime. A spider and some insects, they even still fit in with the beastial Decepticons this season too.
