Transformers Robots in Disguise Mini-cons Wave 5 Found at Toysrus in the UK

Anyone else agree that two recolored Bashbreakers would make a good Rumble and Frenzy?

ooh, you guys are lucky too, I'd love me a Bashbreaker, but, I might hold out for a version

He's a con in the 4 pack, but doesn't come with the clear parts unfortunately.

Hellscream9999 wrote:ooh, you guys are lucky too, I'd love me a Bashbreaker, but, I might hold out for a version

Well now its you who is lucky, because you guys already have that figure. He comes exclusively in the 4 pack



Canada hasnt gotten that 4 pack yet.

That Duel Cannon mode Minicon slightly resembles Prime Bumblebee's forearm blasters - I thought.

I am a champion of this line for its innovative designs and thankfulness for still delivering traitionally complex transformations in the warrior class, but I wont argue with anyone about them being small. I was playing with some toys yesterday and then I put them side by side and



Thats a scout class next to Quillfire.

I don't think that's too bad since Quillfire's supposed to be kind of on the short side.

Agreed. Quillfire and Steeljaw are the shorter stockier warriors by a fair bit, so that's not really surprising to me

Steeljaw is short and stocky?


Can't say it's the impression I got from him.
To be fair this is the first time you could really compare heights and Primus above was he a hulking monster.

I was talking about the toy. It is really short

Yeah, I'm with Kurona. Steeljaw may squat a lot, but he's overall quite massive in his stature.

D-Maximus_Primal wrote:I was talking about the toy. It is really short

Ah okay, misread. Thought you were saying his toy being short and stocky was justified by him being the same in the show or something.

Oh no no no no no, not by a long shot. Steeljaw deserved a better size than what he got truly. And he is a good character and a great design

Shame there is yet to be Overscaled KO RID Decepticons. I get the impression there isn't any plans to make any more Overscale RID KO's if they couldn't even be bothered to repaint the existing moulds (excluding the simplified ones). Steel Jaw would have been nice to have a bit bigger, as would Quillfire & Megatronus too.

With the apologies for the double post - curious things are afoot in RID land

Regarding Minicons being renamed, Some odd pull your figures to pieces subline and other News CO the app.

Maybe the Enigma of Combination is gonna be found in the cartoon.

Judging from the pictures...Energon-style two-bot combination? And on closer inspection, I think there's a lot of partsforming involved...

Remember that time we newsed a new Trademark application involving "combiner force?" Well, it appears as though we finally have our answer as to what this is meant to be.

Thanks to Seibertronian RAR we have news from the Transformers: Robots In Disguise mobile app that combiner force will actually be a new subline within the greater Robots in Disguise toyline. Among the things revealed by the game are characters and some maps.

Considering how reliable the game is for the toyline characters, it appears as though there are 3 new names Robots in Disguise fans should become aware of: Combiners, Crash Combiners, and Activators. We don't have any information about what the Combiners line will be yet, though it does feature the standard main cast of Autobots. Crash Combiners seem to be a new name for Power Battlers, or something similar to it. Activators appear to be a new name for minicon-like characters.

Among the new characters shown off are Skyhammer, Great Byte, Stuntwing and Trickout. Check out the screenshots below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

“The War rages on, but we have a new weapon against the enemy. The COMBINERS are one of the the largest, most powerful robots on the team. Our victory is assured?” – Optimus Prime

That would be quite a thing if they ended up as the Energon styled powerlinx design

Bumblebee, Strongarm and Sideswipe now appear to share a very similar body shape; something similar to CW Skydive and Firefly. Also note the massive kibble Bumblebee has on his legs, that implies a gimmick to me.

Yeah, now that I look closer, they literally share the skeleton. And I'm thinking the energon route

Neat, I always liked Energon's combination. Just needed to be done a bit better...hopefully these don't disappoint.

Okay, I like the look of Skyhammer, and I want a recipe of Greatbyte into Skybyte.

Fascinating stuff, I am very interested in seeing how this all pans out. Gonna need some awesome 's, the same, lame 's aren't gonna cut it with me

First of all Autobot shark plane.

Secondly I'm looking forward to seeing Skyhammer in the show outside of a few minicons everyone who has shown up in this game playable wise has or will have some role in the show even Scatterspike and Paralon who I thought would just be redecos have shown up in the season 3 trailer.

We honestly need more new main characters in shows like Strongarm and Bulkhead (not their characters or traits specifically but I mean mostly show original characters)

Skyhammer at least is probably going to be a recurring character like Wheeljack in Prime or he could be one of the characters on Cybertron since Optimus, Ratchet and Windblade were going there to face the council at the end of Season 2.

"Primestrong"? "Beeside"? One thing comes to mind:

FUSION... HAH!

Looking at them more closely, I have a feeling the Crash Combiners are non-transforming figures, but can swap body parts like the current Hero Mashers. And the Combiners proper should be akin to the Energon Powerlinx Autobots aka Victory Multiforce.

And speaking of Multiforce, does anybody think Skyhammer is based on WingWaver?

Fusion is seriously one of my favorite words.

I figured the crash combiners would be the new hero mashers of sorts. But I really look forward to the possibility of powerlinxers. I want that very badly if done right.

And I was thinking technobot Strafe when I saw Skyhammer

D-Maximus_Primal wrote:And I was thinking technobot Strafe when I saw Skyhammer

I'll give you that However, the characters in the Crash Combiner category seem all to be combined forms, and I was simply thinking Skyhammer followed suit. We got plenty of names with "sky" and "hammer" anyway

Technically the original Skyhammer combined with a lot of stuff.



Ultra Pretenders were friggin' weird

I want to see what all this is going to come to. I'm kinda stoked!

Yeah, Ultra Pretenders were nothing more than Transformer Matryoshka dolls. Shame both Skyhammer and Roadblock suffer from GPS...

It was oodles of fun

Primestrong? Beeside?

If they utilize these piss poor shipping titles in the show, I swear to f**king God.....

Very well. Their names shall instead be Armoptimus and Swipebumble!

Yeah, I'm definitely getting an Energon vibe from these guys. I'm thinking the ones that simply say "Combiner" are Warrior class figures that can combine while the ones that say "Crash Combiner" are like Acivators in that you get two vehicles that you smash together to auto combine.

Based on the colors I REALLY hope half of Skyhammer is Skyfire.

Skyhammer? erm....wasn't he a helicopter
+ the size of him in the game....he looks more like he should be Jetfire

Stuartmaximus wrote:+ the size of him in the game....he looks more like he should be Jetfire

That's because he's two mystery characters smooshed together making him huge.

Crash Combiners look like Mash-ups a bit to me.
Perhaps the licensing show will reveal a bit more.

D-Maximus_Primal also spotted another Australian TV ad - via the official Transformers YouTube channel - for Transformers: Robots in Disguise Power Surge Optimus Prime, also featuring Starscream, in a very moody, thunderstormy setting. Check it out embedded below!

This is the same series whose main villain is Steeljaw, a Decepticon carformer with a wolf motif as opposed to the original (... and FoC toyline) Autobot Lion Cassetteformer. They're just re-using the names if they find them fitting of the characters.

Anyone found a way to get a fanmode base out of Paralon?
I've tried.....but the results are far from best, although the tail does kinda form a tower in much the same way that Pandinus's does

Now, that's a live action show I'd watch!

I'm definitely getting a Duocons style combining gimmick vibe from the name Crash Combiners.

I wish that were the case. Duocon combining would be really sweet

If they're compatible with each other, you could probably make a Battletrap.

I feel like I mentioned this exact thing somewhere else (maybe the TR thread or something). I want to continue with combining of a sort, such as the duocon style and such. Hopefully this RiD version comes out well, cause I'm kinda excited to have energon styled combiners
