I think there will be other ways. Same for Filch and the shark (really want a warrior of that toy!).

Unless you're referring to more nontransformable toys for Octopunch, I sincerely doubt any of Hasbro's assortments of transformable RID toys would be able to feasibly make a transforming Octopunch toy that both looked good and did the character design justice, considering how unorthodox Octopunch's design is:william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:If this is the only way for Octopunch to get a toy, then so be it.

It does look like him. I can make out four tentacles as feet and two as arms like Octopunch has.ScottyP wrote:Octopunch is my speculation that I sent to news crew for the thing in the lower left and not confirmed. RiD 2015 Octopunch is the only thing I could think of that remotely looks like that.

Given his speech patterns, I'd say Octopunch is VERY Orthodox. Hey-o!

But I thought the same thing about Springload and the crab and they got transforming toys.

Springload's toy got his altmode wrong and cheated on his hind legs, and Clampdown's toy doesn't have actual claws.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Unless you're referring to more nontransformable toys for Octopunch, I sincerely doubt any of Hasbro's assortments of transformable RID toys would be able to feasibly make a transforming Octopunch toy that both looked good and did the character design justice

Not to mention that, unlike Octopunch, those two don't have gooey stretchy bodies, so they're more doable.
Notice the final sentence in my post that reads "and did the character design justice".

This wave consists of: Sky-Byte, Acid Storm, Beast Machines Cheetor, Minitron, Blurr, Alpha Trion/Thundertron/??, RID Optimus Prime with G1 Prime's gun, Unicron, G1 Grimlock, Crazybolt, Barrage and RID Bumblebee.
Barrage is a particular deep cut. Notice how I am completely unsure of the bearded one with the blue cape. It could be one of the Primes revealed in this season of Robots in Disguise (Alpha Trion?). If you have an idea of who that is, or if we made a mistake on any of these, please let us know in the comments.

I'm getting that feeling, but I think it's just a few elements reminding me of a Sweep. The claw feet don't fit that. Not Tigerhawk?

It's gotta be someone with a big pointy helmet and wings/capes. If it's any of the Binder/Covenant designs, Liege Maximo might be a candidate, but the blue and white instead of green, and some of the toy's finer details, throw that off.Mr O wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The white and blue winged guy between IDW Blurr and RID Optimus is nagging me over who he is.

Yeah, Thundertron, he's mentioned in the news post.

It's possible One of the Decepticons have gotten an upgrade, not just Optimus. Stelljaw perhaps? That would explain why he looks familiar.

He did, however, have a very obvious lion head torso, which this figure doesn't have.

So his beard is part of his chest and not attached to his face? No, there is no beard, it's just a wedge-shaped piece of armor and his head is clearly not pointed in the same direction.

His peg-leg is what he's supposed to have. It's only "optional" on his toy due to the toy's mechanics.Mr O wrote:Thundertron had an optional peg-leg.
On a different note, that Minitron figure is probably the version of him to get since he's so tiny and it looks very accurate to his character model.

Nobody has a peg-leg and a proper foot as wardrobe options! Actually, the more I look at his chest, there is a big cat face there.
Minitron is the weevil thing right? That's the one I'll never find then, .
Posted by Sabrblade on March 20th, 2016 @ 7:25pm CDT
He's a pirate. He transforms from a four-footed lion to a one-footed peg-legged robot in-fiction. You'd need a Masterpiece-level budget to pull that off in toy form, and there was no way Hasbro was gonna put that much money into the toy they made for the guy. So they went the cheaper route by making his toy have one of its beast mode feet detach from the robot mode peg-leg as part of the figure's transformation.Mr O wrote:Nobody has a peg-leg and a proper foot as wardrobe options!
The little green bug guy, yeah.Minitron is the weevil thing right? That's the one I'll never find then, .

It makes me feel dumb when people correct me

Also, Minitron is bizarrely named "Minimus Ambus". I guess the name "Minitron" didn't pass the Trademark muster and so Hasbro grabbed the nearest name with "Mini-" in it.
The rest were all guessed correctly:
G1 Grimlock
RID 2015 Bumblebee
G1 Unicron
RID 2015 Optimus Prime
RiD 2001 Sky-Byte
G1 Barrage
RID 2015 Crazybolt
IDW G1 Blurr
Beast Machines Cheetor
G1 Acid Storm
