Toy Fair 2016 Transformers Robots In Disguise Products Photogallery #HasbroToyFair #TFNY

Welp, so much for me not getting any more RID figures. Gonna need to gran Scorponok and Windblade. Maybe Bisk too.

Also: Why does Optimus Prime look like Tarn with his armored helmet?

So Windblade is a retool of the Generations deluxe. OK, that's fair enough. But Primus, did they have to get rid of the ball-jointed wrists? That was one of the few good things about that mold. I hope I'm wrong and it's just the photography making her look like she has no wrists, but if they DID nix the articulation then that's pretty sh!tty.

She never had ball-jointed wrists, but you can see here:



She does indeed have no wrist articulation, but I don't think that she is a remold of the gen figure however

That looks like an all new mold to me and my Windblade doesn't have ball jointed wrists. They are mushroom pegged.

Also good to see that Hasbro is using the Battle Grimlock mold which I just got.

Don't worry, I can't almost guarantee you that you got it for much cheaper, and with a better paint job, in all likelihood, than whatever this 'Platinum' set will cost

I know it's fairly early, but as it's corroborated by the cg images, I feel justified in saying: GOD D@#N THAT IS A LOT ON NON-EXISTENT PAINT APPS

Like paint is the all most important thing ever.


You never disappoint me fandom (except for when you do which is all the time)


Could be bias since I like everything always have which could also mean I have no opinion.

That tends to be helpful in this franchise

May I ask how?

Fellow Seibertronians, hot on the heels of the product galleries, site owner Seibertron has uploaded a video of coverage of the Robots in Disguise product display from the Toy Fair to the site's YouTube account. Check it out, and leave your comments below.

It really doesnt look like a retool to me. It looks like a totally new mold which has a similar design. The transformation is bound to be different. Also, I have no clue which ball jointed wrists you are speaking of. Feel free to provide a picture so that we better understand what you are getting at.

LOST Cybertronian wrote:That and I have almost no interest in the BB

Oh yeah, I am pretty sure no one is regretting getting their takara grimlock even after seeing this news. Takara's deco is show accurate and you can buy it by itself, sounds like a win in my book.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that had that thought.

So it looks like Scorponok has removable claws, but it looks like he can actually attach them without removing them from his shoulders first, well done hasbro

Oh man, spring loaded gimmicks in that Optimus?

That activate with a Minicon?

Is this Armada!?

Is Armada 2.0 Happening? Because I'm super okay with that!

"For the first time ever, Optimus Prime can fly."
THAT ISN'T EVEN TRUE OF THIS UNIVERSE'S OPTIMUS PRIME. Beast Hunters was only 3 years ago, people, come on. And it's definitely not the first Optimus Prime that can fly in all continuities. Ugh. Hasbro, get your facts straight.

Not sure what you were expecting, they can't even transform them correctly

Give the girl some credit, her presentation was good, even if the facts were a touch off.

Whoops! My mistake, she has mushroom peg wrists. Still better than no wrists at all, though.

(I don't actually own Gen Windblade because from what I've seen it's not a very good figure. Please don't shoot me.)

The Hasbro panel showed a few upcoming Robots in Disguise toys and we got the 3D renders for the Warrior class figures, the big Power Surge Optimus and the Platinum set. However, there was a ton of new stuff on the show room, giving us an idea at the vast amount of products coming out this year. This vast amount makes sense since the Investors Presentation made us aware that 70% of the Transformers toy market is dominated by Rescue Bots and Robots in Disguise (with Generations only making up 30%).

Here is a list of everything else that was revealed only through the display area:

One Step Changer Bisk





One Step Blizzard Strike Sideswipe



One-Step Changers/Advanced Optimus Prime





One-Step Changers/Advanced Strongarm



Legion Groundbuster



Legion Blizzard Strike Drift



Battle 2-pack Sideswipe with Minicon WindStrike
Battle 2-pack Strongarm with Minicon Sawtooth









Powersurge Heros Bumblebee with Minicon Buzzstrike
Powersurge Heros Sideswipe with Minicon Windstrike








Minicon 4 pack with Autobot Dragonus, Bash Breaker, Lord Doomitron, and Lancelon
3 step Energon Boost Bumblebee (with all-spark blue) and 3 step Drift (regular colours)



There is also a Warrior Grimlock rerelease which has a box with a new playability feature highlighted involving the weapon minicons.



And a slew of minicons, many of which can become weapons, such as Tricerashot, Lord Doomitron, Weapon Slipstream and Bashbreaker.

Why is Groundpounder's toy named "Groundbuster"?

I wonder why certainly would have nothing to do with copyright at all now would it?

Why would the show give him a name that Hasbro, the company that created and owns the character, can't Trademark?

I'm not a wizard I can't pretend to know what Hasbro is up to I'm just guessing.

The show runners not knowing if the name was available for toys, hasbro not caring enough to notify them, no plans to make a toy at the time so nobody thought it would be a problem, take your pick.

Hasbro has a history of making sure that their cartoons have used names that they can use. For them to not do so would make them look bad.

OK, So I love that new prime. I want it. and the warrior version seems to have tried to solve the enclosed fist issue by putting that blockage on the shoulders.

Bisk, Scorponok, Groundpounder, Windblade are all buys. Yes.

I want minicons so much right now.

Wait wait, so Hasbro saying we'd get an MP Sideswipe but not giving us one was fine, them never giving us the voyager Prime Breakdown (which they designed) is totally cool, and them green lighting all those Michael bay films is no problem, all the piss poor platinums being released this year are totally firgiveable, BUT it's this that makes them look bad, THIS!?!?!?!

Please don't twist my words. You know good and well what I meant.

What's with all the hostility guys?


Were kinda sending this thread out of control.

The Blizzard Strike OP already has fixed fists and they didn't put something on his shoulders.
I'm definitely waiting for the Warrior version of Bisk and the new weapon Mini-Cons are really cool. I want that black version of Lord Doomitron so bad.

Sabrblade wrote:Please don't twist my words. You know good and well what I meant.

No, I did not. If your main argument is that Hasbro is afraid of looking bad then I feel that isnt much of an argument seeing as how they havent been afraid in the past. Disney made a legal mistake for the avengers blu ray boxset, Hasbro's legal department is not impervious to mistakes either.

Good question. I think it was in the YouTube video from the show floor posted here.

Edit: No, forget that. I muddled something from a review.

I read on the Hasbro press release for Toy Fair that the 6 mini-con battlepacks we've seen are all they are going to release. No Steeljaw in almost cyberverse commander size.

Well look at that. I may need to find another warrior with the fix now. Maybe that Power Surge one, but that larger one looks cooler...

I must be slow, what is dfferent when it comes to his wrists compared to the previous one?

Thanks for the welcome, into everything Transformers really. RID is an enjoyable show, the toys I feel are getting better as it goes and the humour element is nice.

Already did, all the Titans Returns stuff looks good, the only one i'm on the fence about getting is Stripes, I'll only get him if they don't release a Steeljaw. Blaster needs a cat.

I think I like the looks of that Windblade better than the Gen. version.
And now I think I get those block head minicons, They're supposed to be hammers, yah?

I'll probably pick up that Prime to repaint it into Nova Prime.
