They were never found in the US?
On the flipside, you guys got the weapon minicon 4 pack, Canada never got it.
Well, yes and no. It was released but I don't think it made it into all stores, the same thing with that other 4 pack with the weaponized Slipstream.

My fault, I misread her post as meaning they're only tops or bottoms, not both and thought RAR was replying to something else since Will had already just mentioned the bot modes.
Anyway, there's still people finding wave 1 Minicons in stores? I really haven't seen too many Minicons of any type lately. What I have seen is pegs full of Windblade and nothing else. Kids aren't being fooled by the bad paint job I guess.

I still see them, but they've been mostly plucked dry after Christmas. Thank Goodness. Right now Walmart has them on Rollback... as "Weaponizer Minicon Asst." We never got past wave 2!

She ain't messing around. Kind of want to pick her up now!

If they were going to give Windblade a new head anyway, why not just make her Maxima?

However I appreciate and support the idea of battle mask faces - I hope Hasbro do something with the other bumblebee mould & other Grimlock mould - though i'd likely rather have a G2 purple or Tigerstripe coloured Grimlock than another Green one with a battlemask head.
I guess we will have to call this 2017 Windblade or Combiner Force Windblade to distinguish her from the previous one.
I will admit though I'm puzzled why not make some Sandy deco RID already ? They have been like that in the show more than once and yet not a single toy - all I've seen is a couple of prototype Legions in sandy deco that never came out.
It is a shame that the RID 2017 toys are likely going to get buried in the build up to some rampant overstocking of the Last Knight toys in a few months time. as I certainly never see a sniff of Rescue Bots toys in the UK. They may as well be eBay exclusives to me.
I Have to hope that TRU doesn't fall asleep just yet on the new Titans Returns and RID 2017 (funny isn't it a line that only some seem to much like is one of the longest lasting kids lines now).
But the real joke is that most of that product is just Optimus/Strongarm/Bumblebee/Grimlock & Sideswipe over and over and over again. They didn't even think to make a 3 step Jazz or Groundpounder.

I do wish this mould had hinged wings that could flow down like a cape it might help her look cooler and also help here stand better - as she falls over more often than any other single figure I own due to the tiny feet spikes and all the weigh being in the top of her body and the knees are weak too.

It took forever to get Legends Groundpounder. I'd love to see something bigger. Maybe one of these new Activator type figures.
It does make me feel better that other people weren't able to find those Weaponized Minicons. Really surprised Hasbro dropped the ball that bad.

I think it's just the stores not feeling the need to order more stock. The first two waves just didn't sell...
Only Weaponizers I saw were two of the 4-packs, only then they were only at Target. I almost got one just for Autobot Dragonus.

That would explain why I sell so many Rescue Bots toys to the UK. Wasn't aware that Rescue Bots were hard to find across the pond. Rescue Bots continues to be one of the biggest regular sellers from the Seibertron.com store.

But sadly, I can't get the thought of how utterly astonishing these toys would've been if the budget was like it was before out of my head, imagine these new designs but with the mass and build quality of Cybertron toys and the paint detailing of the 2001 RiD figures and the parts count of ROTF...those would've been Masterpieces
Posted by TimothyR on January 9th, 2017 @ 3:37am CST
Nah, the real joke is they keep making things cheaper and cheaper but we keep lapping it up.

I notice how there was a lot of complaining about Off Road, Alpha Bravo and Rook ; but over time people seemed to kinda get on board with the idea.
The number of Characters we get now who are new is very small indeed. where as wizz back in time 30-32 years the majority of them are new - regardless of who is on the cartoon at the time.
It's like Hasbro is allergic to making new sub-groups or teams of original characters who sell just on the basis that they look cool and do cool stuff.
If they don't want to do "totally new" the compromise that usually comes to mind is to make proper toy versions of the Kre-O combiners - I would be really interested by that to see who people would react to a (almost) brand new beast combiner that isn't Monstructor or Predaking or Abominus.
But considering they often don't even make toys of Characters from their own TV shows - I remain sceptical that they will have a change of heart in that regard anytime soon.
But might people like original Characters over say pretender homages or a rest to zero again and zooming back to 2006 again in terms of the non-cartoon toyline.
Especially as modern toys are likely to be inferior to late 2000's ones in some respects.
Though I guess you could argue the toss on Hotrod. I'm still pondering that one myself.

SG windbladr already exists she doesn't where the battle mask at all rather she has an color that is an homage to a certain anime character....

Maybe by the time he comes out I can actually find a Legion Ratchet that has two legs painted the same and not one thickly painted and one thinly painted - I've not seen such a common paint error since the Hasbro Asia Conehead 3 pack version of Thrust who had the same problem on his lift fans (I have two and they are both like that - but at least I can swap them now).
It would be great if they wrap Warrior Ratchet & Bisk back into a later wave too since both of those seem to have been skipped to - I remain a bit scared they might forget to do that though since Jazz was not reissued at all so far - where as Grimlock and Strongarm you can't escape from them.

That I do not know. I haven't seen them personally.
I will say though that after watching the reviews, Blurr is a stunner. Stormshot has some impressive paint. the Blastwave/Bludgeon remolding looks awesome. And Soundwave still looks cool but a bit finniky

When I found it, I compared it to RID Windblade and TR Chromedome on the pegs next to her. She's slightly smaller than the deluxe figures.

Phew, I feel better now. Though I'll make sure to report anything else I find in the future ASAP, rather than wait several weeks.

This set is an interesting package. Drawing upon elements once found in MASK, Strongarm is a simplified transformer that springs up into a monster truck type vehicle. Trickout, Strongarms companion, is a fun little truck that serves its purpose. Most collectors will pass on this set, but kids will love it and it makes a fun desk toy.
Bumblebee and Stuntwing make a nice little pair in the Combiner Force sub-line of RID. Bumblebee's transformation is less involved than Strongarm's although, the activated vehicle mode isn't as fun. Stuntwing is a fun little minicon and makes a great blaster.
