Mini Titans?
When they repaint this line, they'll call them Giant Midgets.

Did you send them to the news team? Next time you find something that you think might be newsworthy, you have to send it to them sing the link in my signature. It's the only way to make sure they see it.

I have before. Maybe I didn't this time, but it hasn't been the first time I've submitted something that turned up later. I don't want to come off as whining but part of the fun of reporting new stuff is getting credit. But it's ok.

That's totally understandable. So for next time, just to make sure you have the odds in your favour, send it through "submit news" / the link in my signature.

Firstly, we have some truly never before seen Legion reveals such as Windblade, Drift and Thunderhoof (Come on Hasbro, he didn't need another pair of antlers, just leave the rake!) as well as others revealed in the app such as Ultra Magnus (check out that artwork), Alpine Sideswipe and Patrol Strongarm. You can find the entire gallery here.
And secondly we finally got the official reveal of the Clash of the Titans line. While these have been out in Australia and Canada, Hasbro had yet to reveal this line or offer official pictures for the legion class figures. These are redecos of various classes of toys from Robots in Disguise exclusively at Toysrus on an unprecedented global scale (distributed through both Takara in Japan and Hasbro in the rest of the world). Following the pictures, you will see the press release of these new figures.
TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE – CLASH OF THE TRANSFORMERS PRODUCT INFORMATION
New for 2015, Hasbro’s TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE gets even more epic with CLASH OF THE TRANSFORMERS, an exclusive product line coming to Toys “R” Us stores featuring exclusive characters and looks from the final episodes of season 1 of the new animated series TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE, airing in the U.S. on Cartoon Network.
As the season builds to an epic conclusion, the rampaging Decepticons are joined by an evil bot, one more powerful and more sinister than any Decepticon loose on Earth. His name is Megatronus, one of the original 13 Primes who quit his gig and became the first Decepticon. Only with the help of the greatest Autobot of all time, Optimus Prime, whose training in the Realm of the Primes has led to this moment along with the powerful and versatile Decepticon Hunter weapons can Bumblebee and his team hope to power up and defeat Megatronus!
The Decepticons are united. The Autobots are powered up. Earth's fate hangs in the balance. The CLASH OF THE TRANSFORMERS is on!

Although I would kindly warn anyone who doesnt have the mold to avoid it. It's the fiddliest transformer I have handled in quite a while.

Sorry if it sounded rude to her, but I was extremely dissapointed. And while I respect everyone's opinion I do advise people to look at some video reviews for this specific toy. I welcome our disagreement over how good this toy is, it comes to show that one might like it or they might not (unlike say CW Superion or Generations UM which have generally positive reviews), and thus people must inform themselves before buying.

I agree that it is fiddly at times, but so is menasor, but everyone still celebrates it; so I guess we just shouldn't tell people to avoid figures they may like just because they are 'fiddly'

I honestly don't like most reviewers (thew for the win) they seem very biased and very ready to make blanket statements about qc issues, or very eager to dismiss figures based on small nitpicks; maybe refer them to the seibertron galleries and a review to see how it 'plays'... I dunno, I'm just really fed up with a lot of reviewers these days, you can tell there's a lot of G1 bias subverting their opinions when they should be objective

So she is getting a legion figure in the RID line but not a deluxe. Does thus mean the current deluxe can be a crossover fugure?

I say yes since she has the exact same deco. Takara is making an RID Grimlock out of the FOC Grimlock mold so that is officially a generations mold used for RID.

Yes me too. I dont know who would though since the fans dont care about these (havent met one who did yet), and I dont think parents or kids would notice anything beyond the color changes. It almost feels like a waste in a way. I wonder if the warrior figures are also as extensive in retooling as these.

I care! At least about Prime. Although I think it's kinda pointless to redo that figure since the Mega scale one is out.

I think Windblade and Drift are horribly mis-transformed. Something tells me those wings fold up more and the hood on Drift comes down. I really wish they came with weapons though.
I'd be all over that one-step RID Prime, if it wasn't part of a set of figures I already have.
Posted by no-one on July 13th, 2015 @ 1:16am CDT
I'm not very familiar with the quick changers, but prime reminds me of another one I've seen. Does he share a transformation/shell with anyone? I'd find it hard to believe a unique mold would be limited to a 6 pack and a single retailer.chuckdawg1999 wrote:I'd be all over that one-step RID Prime, if it wasn't part of a set of figures I already have.

Yup! However, I keep being fascinated at the fact that the tooling is still different even if it is actually the same design. Hasbro could have retooled the Hyperchange 3-step and then upscaled it, but instead there are 3 different shells, two different classes and two different designs.

Well, that's unfortunate, the only characters that I actually liked were mostly decepticon (worlds will burn if I don't get a satisfactorily poseable deluxe thunderhoof) but it also seems strange that they said the decepticons were going to be made, but now they say this is the rest for the year

And none of them are worth owning, or being called an 'action figure'
