Takara Robots in Disguise (2015) Figures Available For Preorder

Wow... really nothing new. I don't know why Takara is re-releasing the Animated Dinobots (terrible designs).
Fixit... actually looks kinda cool. He, Bee and Steeljaw will be the only figures I get. Perhaps another one of those Decepticons too.
If they Release a "warrior" Sideswipe, I'll get him, but it doesn't look like he'll get a figure.

Fixit looks cool. No. Really.

I can totally go for this series, I'm liking it more every day.

I really wish he turned into a segway

A new fixit design?WOOHOO!!!!BTW,does he scream G1 Wheelie?

Same,but I would prefer TFP to this.The animation on prime was realistic.

I don't think this line is for me.

I'm not digging the figures at all.

can't really agree with you totally on that. The toys were show accurate and pretty decent. Maybe Snarl was not up to snuff, but he was ok. Do you mean animated's overall style?

I think with a metallic and realistic paint scheme Swoop, and maybe even Snarl, would look really good and probably fit in with generations.

Wow! We guessed right on so many of these!

TAV01 Bumblebee = Warriors Bumblebee
TAV02 Grimlock = Warriors Grimlock
TAV03 Strongarm = Warriors Strongarm
TAV04 Steeljaw = Warriors Steeljaw
TAV05 Fixit = some new mold for Fixt we haven't seen yet
TAV06 Underbite = One Step Changer Underbite
TAV07 Roadblock = Generations Thrilling 30 Deluxe Scoop mold
TAV08 R Strongarm = Warriors Strongarm mold
TAV09 Swoop = Animated Deluxe Swoop mold
TAV10 Snarl = Animated Deluxe Snarl mold
TAV11 Knock Out = Prime Beast hunters Deluxe Knock Out mold
TAV12 Dreadwing = Prime Beast Hunters Deluxe Dreadwing mold
TAVVS01 Bumblebee VS Steeljaw = Warriors Bumblebee and Warriors Steeljaw
TAVVS02 Grimlock VS R Strongarm = Warriors Grimlock and Warriors Strongarm mold
HA01 Bumblebee = Three Step Changer Bumblebee
HA02 Grimlock = Three Step Changer Grimlock

The animation still has to convince me. From what I've seen, it's kinda rough. Maybe they'll...

fixit!

I hope so, but I'm not holding my breath. This is going to be a series where I like the toys but care little for the show I think.

That's a shame, because I bought TFP because I liked the show.

We're literally going to have to wait and see.

So this is the one-step. Yucky. So far the only design from this series I like is Strongarm.

Looks like Bumblebee (Warrior) and Fixit are the only two figures I have any interest in.

Why does Transformers Robots In Disguise TAV-02 Grimlock give us a picture of Strongarm?
Also, why would they blacken the Strongarm images when they appear in that listing I just mentioned?
Also, the blackened images contain a vehicle mode image with a turret at the top and it does not appear anywhere else.
Lastly, the black silouette of Strong arm at the top makes her look awesome.

FIxit is much more interesting of a toy than I thought, and I really like the vehicle molds. Oh and I did not find Drift anywhere.

I just hope Fixit is actually in scale with the others and not an excessively huge Warrior/One Step figure.

Is it just me or does this image of Warrior Grimlock have 2 different molds showing?

The toy at the bottom left looks nothing like the bigger image

I'm pretty sure that's just control art like the one on Fixit's preorder page.

Good one, sir. Good one.

Grimlock and Strongarm had their images switched.

william-james88 wrote:Also, why would they blacken the Strongarm images when they appear in that listing I just mentioned?

The blackened one is "R Strongarm", a redeco of the regular Strongarm blackened out to hide its deco.

That's her robot mode gun. It can attach to the top of her vehicle mode via a little hole:

That was my first thought its Wheelie reborn. Hopefully he's not as annoying!

A Minicon Transformer Segway would be pretty slick; the ultimate disguise to shuttle tourist around touring a urban cityscape!

What does that have to do with the Robots in Disguise toys?

Haha, Sabreblade, I know I can always count on you! Oh and this explains another point someone had about why Grimlock would be fighting Strongarm. This could be another character or another version of the character that would create the animosity.

And yeah, that movie related news should go in the movie thread (where it might already be). Dont know if an admin should remove it from this thread.

What the heck is Fixit's vehicle mode supposed to me?

Nemesis Primal wrote:What the heck is Fixit's vehicle mode supposed to me?

Looks like some sort of ATV-styled vehicle to me. I see handlebars and maybe four wheels.

There appear to be handlebars on the BACK, and little pointy bits that might be drills sticking out the front, plus I'm not entirely sure if there really are four wheels or if there's only two. Whatever it is, it's kinda weird.

fixit is like the love child of Gobot Scooter and Marvels H.E.R.B.I.E.

Or Beast Machines Rattrap and Armada Sureshock.

Maybe it's some futuristic "Neo-ATV" or something.

For some reason it makes me think of some sort of chariot... Well, actually my first thought was some sort of mechanized dogsled, but it has wheels and not runners.

Wait, Fixit looks like he has wheels on the insides of his arms/wrists, which would add to the wheel count to make four.

The placement of the handlebars (if they are handlebars) and those drills are really making this tricky to figure out.

Or maybe he's some kind of a drill-mounted lawnmower.

Looks like four wheels, but not enough to be sure.

And yeah, I'm with you, this one's confusing, hence why I had to ask.

You can say lawnmower, I'm sticking with chariot, if only because the idea of hooking him up to Grimlock amuses me.

Nemesis Primal wrote:You can say lawnmower, I'm sticking with chariot, if only because the idea of hooking him up to Grimlock amuses me.

He'd be a pretty small chariot. I think the dogsled idea is more comparable size-wise but, again, them drills.

Sabrblade wrote:Or maybe he's some kind of a drill-mounted lawnmower.

HI BILLY MAYS HERE, AND HAVE I GOT THE ALL IN ONE TILLING, DRILLING, AND MOWING SOLUTION FOR YOU!

:ahem:

Looks fun!

Pretty sure he's some sort of Segway-style ATV. Google it, there's a bunch of different examples of this. It's a little like the Segway Centaur which still technically requires standing in the back despite having four wheels and front handlebars.

My Bad... but still transformers. I ordered mine already, List Price: $119.99 and now $29.99 ($37.22 due to shipping and tax) I know some people was looking for this figure but had to pass due to original price.

the resemblance is uncanny!

I wonder what Dreadwing and Knock Out will look like. I hope Knock Out gets redecoed to the extent he doesn't look like regular Knock Out with Crocodile armor.

I understand it's Transformers, but it is unrelated. Please use the correct thread in the future, please. Movie discussion is where a post like that is needed, thanks!

Amazon UK has listed a few Transformers: Robots in Disguise figures. The listing mislablels Warriors Bumblebee as a 1-step. The Hyper Change Heroes Bumblebee and Grimlock transforms in 3 easy steps. Last but not least is 1-step Warriors Sideswipe. Lets take a look at the figures, shall we?

Warriors Bumblebee





Hyper Change Heroes Bumblebee





Hyper Change Heroes Grimlock





One Step Warriors Sideswipe

So the Three-Steps are now called Hyper Change Heroes? Ok, I can live with that.

*goes to edit her lists*

Hmmmm.. Not feeling it for some reason.

They were called "Hyperchange Heroes" first before the "Three Step Changers" name came about. Now that it's back, it remains to be seen which name is final.

For the love of Primus, just pick a name and stick with it!

Look like Hasbro continue the AoE trend of having "stomp n changes" and 1 step changers along the regular deluxes and voyagers.

I accept those because they are still transformers and can be fun. However, I do hope they stop producing non transforming toys like those "shampoo bottles" "action" figures, or those pointless dino riders.

That sword bumblebee has looks familiar ... if that is what I think it is.
time to get a new bumblebee figure maybe modify it with 5mm holes so it can hold more glorious weapons and or arms microns or Armada over-run

I'm really hoping that tail is detached from Grimlock in robot mode because that's what they had to do to fit him in the box and someone just screwed up, rather than removing the tail and setting it aside being part of how he transforms. I can put up with a little partsforming, but I do insist the parts go back on at some point.

These designs, character and transformation, look real kid friendly. And I'm OK with that.
I hope they give us some legion/mini size toys too. Are they? Do we already know that?
More Cyberverse please.

I'm also interested in finding out more about how the badge-scan/app gimmick works.

We are getting Legions:

- Grimlock
- Optimus Prime
- Sideswipe
- Steeljaw
- Strongarm
