We also have a series of additional listings, provided by reliable source Mr Chaos from fellow fansite TFW 2005, showing off upcoming products across the Legion, Warrior and One-Step classes, featuring redecos, new characters such as Windblade and confirmation of previously rumoured Megatronus. Check out what they found, and have your say on the reveals in the Energon Pub.

One-Step
• Quillfire (B4653)
• Springload (B4652)

Legion Class
• White Sideswipe (B2977)
• Black Bumblebee (B2976)
• Patrol Mode Strongarm (B4684)

With all the Combiner Wars goodness, I almost forgot the Robots in Disguise thing and their one-step magic something-or-others.

Legion Windblade!!!

I just want a Warrior release for Thunderhoof, please make that happen hasbro!

"Megatronus," huh? Looks like someone's gone back to his old name...

thanks for share most videos i see i fast forward through articulation parts

The only thing I could think of as I was translating the French bios was this:

And nobody mentioned it, but HOLY MOLLY, they will actually give us a Clampdown toy!

Watch him turn out to be a Decepticon crab

But dont we already know that's what he is?

I got suuuuper excited about the headline, and then I saw that the Thunderhoof was a one-step, and then I stopped caring. :/

I feel we all think the same way.

These shows are made to sell toys and I will glady obey, I am sold on this guy, so make the damn toy!

But hey, we are getting two more warrior decepticons, which is a good sign.

I certainly didn't, I don't follow the show

OH yeah, you should check it out here.

And thats just his robot mode, he actually turns into a car

MAGIC THUNDERHOOF!

I'm sad at how few of these beast-bots are getting non-1-step releases. Although I'm kinda pleased most of those are in the Legion class, I tend to like those better than Deluxes. Cheaper, too.
Lot of Autobot repaints, though.


I hope Windblade is actually Windblade and not yet another instance of a name associated with a female character being tossed onto some generic male bot...

i guess no one plays that game thats advertised all over the RiD boxes cause half of those were already revealed in that. But anyway i wonder if windblade is going to be in the show or if they're just putting her in the RiD line cause generations no longer has a legion class. Also wouldnt be surprised at all if megatronus is a resurrected megatron, just like optimus he just cant stay dead.

But it has a Legends class, It could have gone there if it was totally unrelated.

Why would Megatron be resurrected when he's not dead?

What if this is a pretender to the throne? A la Beast Wars Megatron?

Then we'd have three Megatronuses in this universe.

I am actually hoping it's he Fallen, especially wieh it's this continuity that tried to expand the most on the idea of the 13 (for better or worst)

The Official Transformers You Tube channel has posted a TV commercial for the Transformers: Robots In Disguise toyline. This commercial does not have the dialogue inserted, and only includes the sound effects.

The commercial features Hyperchange Bumblebee, who's gallery can be seen here, and One Step Steeljaw, who will soon be released.



EDIT: The channel has also uploaded an English dubbed version of the same clip, which we've mirrored below.

Why is the commercials animation better then the shows?



Then again it would probably mean that there would be a lack of characters like Prime was which was the biggest flaw of the show in my opinion.

Dat Warrior Class Optimus!

yeah um...dang the commercial looks more interesting.

We're bringing some more Transformers: Robots in Disguise news, in the form of another video review of one of the toys from the line - and in this case, a wave mate to the Optimus Prime we showed earlier: Warrior class Drift! Check out the embedded clip below, and fellow Seibertronian chuckdawg1999's thoughts on it too.

Drift is a fantastic figure and probably the best RID figure released thus far. One thing that impressed me right away was the swords being made of a solid, stiff plastic; after all these years it's nice to have melee weapons that aren't bent right out of the package! Something that you may not be expecting is an added horizontal wrist joint that allows for some more dynamic sword poses, while it's nice I would have preferred a vertical joint for better sword pointing. All in all this is a better figure than Prime and I would recommend picking it up first.

I just don't know though. he's cool but with the orange I want to call him Tigertron.

So glad he turned out well. Liking these Warrior RID figs.

I wanna watch THAT live action movie! It looks FUN!

And CHARMING!

Thanks Chuck! You just got me real excited about that toy.
And I'm happy with Strongarm. If I'm that easy to please, Drift will...

Hmm, the toy looks pretty cool, actually. I'm probably only going to be getting him and Strongarm for the Autobots. Unless Sideswipe has a cool toy.

AoE Drift will always be the best Drift for me though.

Oh yeah it's all that and a bag of chips. Just keep in mind that there are gaps in vehicle mode, that can't be helped. I mention it in the review but I've been thinking about it a lot; what if they combine steps, and skip mentioning weapons storage because the instructions HAVE to fit in that space?

I can live with gaps. I have a good imagination, and I like to use it.

By space do you mean the piece of paper they are printed on? The state of instructions lately, has me really bamboozled.

Yes, only for the Warrior Class figures they're printed on the card in a relatively small rectangular space. The majority of the card is trilingual details and warnings about the mobile game.

i wish the cheapness of these figures was reflected in their price.. but it's not. that sucks.

Agreed. Even worse, my TRU in canada sells the warrior class for 20$ now while they still sell the generations deluxes for 18$.

I have to agree with internet personality and Youtube God Vangelus when he said that these figures are not worth $20. I paid more than that to get them early for reviews but even then it's a 50/50 chance I'll make the money back, down the line.

I wont wait for Warrior Optimus for sure. However, I wont miss the rest.

We've seen a couple of iterations of the new Robots in Disguise Grimlock already, and very little of newcomer Sideswipe - but why not venture in the still very little realm of Legion class figures for this weekend? Check out below a review of the second wave of the line's figures, courtesy of Seibertron.com member chuckdawg1999.

After the Wave 1 RID Legion figures left me a touch flat, I was hoping that Grimlock and Sideswipe would really wow me. While the paint details and overall design is top notch. They just didn't grab me. Sideswipe is your standard car design but the paint is the same metallic red that was found on Legends Windcharger. Grimlock has an inventive transformation that takes it cues from the Warrior figure, but comes off very stiff. Overall I recommend going for the Wave 2 Warriors before these Legion figures.

The Hasbro Brazil website has listed some new Titan Hero figures. These two new figures are electronic versions of the previously announced Titan Hero Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. These appear to use the exact same mold as those two non-electronic Titan Hero figures. The only visual difference are a series of holes along the figure for the sounds to be heard as well as a mele weapon included with the toy.

Are the eloctronics removable so it can double as a shampoo bottle for bubble baths ?

Pass. Hasbro must be getting semi-decent sales from these things otherwise they wouldn't keep making them. Not for me, thanks. If I buy a glorified shampoo bottle, I actually want shampoo in it.

shampoo bottle reference FTW.

I dont get Hasbro, the target market for these is not 15+ teens

Why is Optimus smiling on the box art? Man, GTFO with that.

Yes, because a character from a children's cartoon has to be SUPER SERIOUS AND MOODY.

The horse, while not fully decomposed, is very visibly dead. Any attempts at beatings or other violence are unnecessary.

This is Z-Nation. The horse came back from the dead so we beat it so hard its blood started to bleed.

Junk.

Figured this might help with the weapons storage question
