Video Review Mini-con Battle Pack Bumblebee vs. Major Mayhem

These guys are actually a little bit awesome

Looking forward to owning that Optimus and Grimlock!

Am I the only one who looks at the Cyclone Minicons and immediately thinks of Bakugan?

Alright then, not sure whether to be happy or scared that I remember Bakugan exists, and that I still have my entire Bakugan collection. But yeah, I might get some Cyclone Miniconsjust because they remind me of Bakugan so much.

I'm glad to see you're excited Will!

well for anyone who's interested(although i highly doubt it) here's a mockup repaint i found of what a possible BW Megs could've looked like(although i still say it would also need some retooling as well as just a repaint to make it more accurate)

I just want him cause he meshes so many Grimlocks and he is awesome.

And because of that everyone and their mother accuses Hasbro of ripping of Bakugan. Which I think is pretty shortsighted. Sure, they're round, they can transform, but that's where it ends.

Not sure I'd everyone caught that but that leader scaled optimus is another simplified big toy. It converts in 7 steps. Seems to be this year's 5 step megatronus.

For a 7 step t-form, it looks like he at least has some descent articulation.

So, i picked up some minicons yesterday and they are pretty cute and awesome little guys. Also discovered (dunno if this has been said before) but their weapons can be used with the legion guys who need a weapon. They work pretty nice too!

I also love how you can configure Fracture's front wheel so it actually looks like a bike turning. I have also discovered I love him with his weapon mounted on the left arm in that hole reserved for the weapon in vehicle mode

This.

A bunch of armada figures transformed in about the same number of steps, the point is that it looks great in bot mode and has great articulation

i've just spotted this on TFW2005

i've definitely a want for that Warrior Megatronus....& maybe Blizzard Optimus

so i can see myself checking Asda out tomorrow

That Megatronus is a perfectly fine toy, a more interesting transformer than most CW limbs.

william-james88 wrote:That Megatronus is a perfectly fine toy, a more interesting transformer than most CW limbs.

The way he does a split to transform and he has nice detailing. Fracture though is really awesome too.

Still waiting on my Thunderhoof

william-james88 wrote:That Megatronus is a perfectly fine toy, a more interesting transformer than most CW limbs.

I agree. I can't wait to get Megatronus as an action figure

What do you think about my little custom?
I just have to wait to get a good look of his tank mode in the show to get the right inspiration how to color the missile pods.

I like this man. Looking sweet!

Just had this on my mind, but I am wondering if any of these RiD figure molds will be used for Generations figures in the future. I mean, they used Prime deluxe Arcee to make Chromia, so who says they couldn't do the same with some of these molds?

i'm surprised that noone's repainted Bumblebee as Glyph yet!

Howdy fellow Seibertronians. It's been a minute since we shared with you the in-hand images and video review of Robots in Disguise Battle Pack Grimlock vs Decepticon Back and Bumblebee vs Major Mayhem. Yours truly has spotted both today at the Toys R Us in Baton Rouge, LA. It must have been a banner restock day at Toys R Us, because legion Clampdown, Drift, Thunderhoof and Windblade were also hanging on pegs. Check out the freshly minted in-store photos below. When you're done with those, refresh your memory with the rest of Robots in Disguise line in our extensive galleries, here.



You've seen the images, you've watched the reviews; now that they are in stores, have they been added to your hunt? Hit the jump and let us know in the discussion below.

You guys should really pick up this wave. Clampdown is awesome!!

That would have been an expensive trip to TRU for me.

Preordered him today at amazon.de

It was super hard to leave without the Grimlock or Bee minicon pack. I did however take a Clampdown home with me.

Did you folks happen to notice who was holding up those figures in the pictures.

Umm... no, maybe I'm just not getting the question - if it's a joke, I'm a little preoccupied enjoying Onslaught and Sky Awesome

He really is, I'd give him my of approval!

He is a surprisingly expressive lil feller with his movable eyes and mouth. I'd love to see a warrior version of him.

Crabs can be very transformative - look up I added another pic.

BRAINSSSSS......!

A Warrior class would be cool, but I don't realy need one when I have the Legion version. When they make a Warrior class version for him it's likely to be more show accurate in vehicle mode, but I prefer this one. Same thing with Springload. If they make a Warrior class for him, the robot mode will be much better, but I didn't like his vehicle mode in the show. The one-step vehicle mode looks awesome.

& now in the UK too! at Sainsbury's!

While Hasbro revealed their version of Power Surge Optimus during the investor meeting slides, they also sent some promotional toy images, which were found on Business Wire. At first, it seemed like the picture below was just a picture of that same Optimus toy, just not a 3D render. However, after closer inspection, this is actually a completely different toy using the same theme. This reveals a new product which is a redeco/retool of the Warrior Optimus toy decked out in Power Surge colours (quite reminiscent of Thunderclash) with some clear blue swords. You can see this new picture below and compare it to the other version of Power Surge Prime.

The top and bottom pics look like two different molds.

Sabrblade wrote:The top and bottom pics look like two different molds.

They are - article says so.

Sabrblade wrote:The top and bottom pics look like two different molds.

The top looks like a remold of the Deluxe class version and the lower one like a new bigger one with a gimmick. I think when you plug in the Chestmaster, the wings and the shoulder guns unfold and maybe some lights and sounds are activated.

I really hope there is a Nova Prime repaint intended for Power Surge Optimus. It really looks like a perfect fit for Nova

we've to get a Scorponok toy!(i think he was in the trailer for season 2?)

grimdragon2001 wrote:I really hope there is a Nova Prime repaint intended for Power Surge Optimus. It really looks like a perfect fit for Nova

That would be great. I would be absolutely satisfied with that if we don't get a Nova Prime out of Titans Return or Titan Wars.

The first time Optimus Prime takes flight! Except for G1, Cybertron, the Movieverse, aligned, and the season finale of RID!
