While both of these toys have already been revealed at Botcon 2016, we didnt get stock images of Robots in Disguise Warriors Power Surge Optimus Prime and Scatterspike, aside from CG renders of the later. Now, thanks to hobbybrinquedos, we have stock images of the actual toys. Better than that, we have the package images which gives us a good look at what Scatterspike will look like in the Robots in Disguise show. While the toy is a straight up redeco of Quillfire the character seems to have more of a different look. Also, we have images of the new packaging for all the rereleased Warrior figures which now sport the Weaponizer subprint. These are the very same figures and the reason why Hasbro can still promote them as being compatible with the weaponizer minicons is because all that is needed to interact with them is a 5 mm port. Hopefully the rereleased Grimlock will fix the problems of the original release.

Hasbro's promoting Scatterspike at the BotCon 2016 panel was an odd one. John Warden hyped the character up as having a twist for us to look forward to in season 2, but Scatterspike never appeared in season 2. Quillfire did, but there wasn't a twist with him either, unless one counts his having gotten his own Mini-Con duo, Back and Forth, but that's not really a twist since practically every Decepticon-of-the-day in Season 2 had their own Mini-Cons.

Maybe Scatterspike was meant to be General Stockade?
Eh, that's crap and I know it.
Still though, It's gonna be interesting to see that new prime. I'm loving the Thunderclash styles on the Power Surge Primes

Isn't season two effectively split into two parts? The first half concluded with Decpticon Island 2-parter, and the second half will debut in the fall. At least that's what I remember reading.

Yeah we got a half season for season 2. Now if that will mean that the next half season will be called Seasons 3 instead of Season 2 part 2 is probable, but it could be that its in that second half that we will see Scatterspike and John Warden wasnt caught up on the nomenclature of the seasons. With the hype he gave it, thats what I believe is the case.

So is anyone else perturbed by the fact that Scatterspike clearly does not sport the appropriate head? What a piece of crap, are all the shallow 'retools' seen in the show not going to feature any changes in their toys either? Makes him looks like Quillfire fell in a bucket of paint

He is actually one figure that looks great with out a ton of paint (probably why the DID paint the rims). But, the plastic colors and the way they're disbursed around the different parts of the figure work really well. I actually am a big fan of that.
I kinds like the colors on this guy better than Quillfire. They're nice and Decepticony.

Of course I'm serious, his head clearly doesn't look like the package art. This led me to wonder if the likes of characters I liked - like Simacore and Polarclaw - might not get any retooling if Scatterspike didn't. Or am I misunderstanding you?

I didn't notice the packaging until now, so the new head design seen in it escaped me. I'd/We'd already seen the toy itself long before we ever saw any packaging for it, so we knew it'd be a straight redeco from the onset. Whoever made that packaging design must've chosen to get creative with the design or didn't get the memo of the toy being a mere redeco. Either way, the guy didn't appear in the show, so it's kinda moot anyway.Hellscream9999 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Hellscream9999 wrote:So is anyone else perturbed by the fact that Scatterspike clearly does not sport the appropriate head?

Really? huh, haven't watched much of season 2, and I didn't remember much of season 1 to know whether he looked like that in the show. Yeah, hope that clears all that up, and I hope the retools seen in the show get their deserved retoolings in real life

Hasbro called what's coming in the Fall "season 3" in an interview with TFormers at BotCon. And, well, the "Decepticon Island" two-parter was unambiguously a finite conclusion of a finale, wrapping up and completely closing the main ongoing plot of season 2.Hellscream9999 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Quillfire was in the show but not Scatterspike.

Me too, but it wasnt complete and you can see his rhino head detached from his back and turned into an "accessory". The person has been reported. Shouldnt be too hard to track since we know it happened between yesterday and today and the person had to be at the service desk to get the exchange, so they can review the camera footage.

Eh, that's a very hard thing to prove and most stores won't bother going that far. What's most likely is they put something up saying to not accept returns from that person anymore. Less likely is them telling other local stores of the same chain not to do so either, just depends on the severity and frequency with which it happens. We only did this in my retail days when high value items were frequently being "returned" via dumb package swaps like this. Like someone returning a Bluray player that they "never opened", was obviously retaped, and a VCR was inside the box. This happened.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Wait... toy swappers can actually get reported? How about prosecuted for theft or even fraud?

Its shoplifting, they can get reported to the store with the staff being informed not to take returns from that person anymore. Not sure if they can get the cops involved. Canada might be different than the US.

In other news, got some more of the weapon type Mini-cons in the latest four pack. They're really cool, don't sleep on these. The Dragonus remolding as well as the Hammer guy are really, really fun.

I'm not sure if I should laugh or be annoyed.
Though I did once see some WWE figs repacked. We found Kofi Kingston in a Randy Orton box... I wish I had a pic it was such an epic fail.

Same. At least you know it'll be twice as much fun to own.

Considering 'if' you think Warrior Optimus' Legs are on wrong then it's kind of amazing than they can remould the toy and yet still put the legs on wrong too.
I wouldn't mind that revised mould in the sandy deco of that sort of Thunderclash like Colour scheme the legion two pack one had heck even blue wouldn't be to bad - especially if Takara did it like that.
I wouldn't mind some more blue stuff - like Drift - just for the sake of constancy. (regardless of what is or was in the show itself).
As I've still not watch it so I'm not basing any interest on that element of the toyline on the TV show.
As for Quillfire's Repaint - I guess the head could be altered to look more like the new look by painting over the eyes and painting new ones on lower and repainting his lower jaw red.

I have a quaestion about the RID minicons. Especially the "balls" ones. What are the conectors to plug them in a RID figure? Are they the standard Unicron Trilogy minicon ports, or do they use some oddballs connectors?
Re: Transformers Robots in Disguise Minicon Weaponizers Sideswipe and Windstrike Review (1795128)

There are no connectors in the US. Only the Takara versions have connectors. You cant connect the US ones to any warrior figure.

So, the Takara minicons have the unicron trilogy connectors? Or are you telling that the Takara RID '15 figures have special connectors that will use whatever holes happen to be in a RID minicon?

The Transformers Robots in Disguise One-Step Changers Advanced Optimus Prime and Strongarm have been popping up in stores in the US. If any of you are mildly interested in knowing what is new or different about this One Step Optimus Prime toy, compared to the previous Target Exclusive one, we have a review for you below courtesy of Chuckdawg1999. To compare and contrast, we also have the review for last year's Optimus Prime One Step toy which is still only obtainable by buying the target exclusive set of Robots in Disguise One Step figures.
Please note that the reviewer does mistaken the two figures, which are indeed different molds entirely, but these videos still serve as a great way to see the toys and how they may compare.
2016 One-Step Changer Advanced Optimus Prime
2015 Target Exclusive One Step Optimus Prime

Oh, so they are just standard 5mm pegs added on the Takara minicons. Thanks! For what I want to do, I guess I'll have to import some.

The balls and torpedoes can actually peg onto deployer overload's shoulders, if that interests you

I thought so but I don't want to buy that toy twice. Instead, I ordered the TAV44 Sideswipe and Bumblebee with minicons 4 pack.
The Takara minicons have a 5mm peg added and will be perfect for the custom I wanna make. Plus, the figures themselves seem nice. Especially Sideswipe, who seem better than his deluxe counterpart.
