Toy Fair 2017 - Robots In Disguise Combiner Force Photogallery #TFNY #HasbroToyFair

... hmmm. Awesome-Battle-Mask Windblade or Headmaster-with-Awesome-Swords Windblade...

I'm glad Thermidor is coming out for those who like him. I'm gonna pass since I already have Bisk, but cool, and I have Windblade, so I'm passing on her as well.

Helps me save money for the combiners!!! I love the looks. Yeah, they may seem a bit shite, but they are kiddy and they are fun and they are simple, which is kinda the point and is the reason I love them.

Primestrong as a Crash combiner is really neat. The figure is fun and is one of my favorite desk toys, so if these guys can meet that standard, I am all set.

yeah silly! pretty much sums up the RID Combiner Force figures wouldnt want to get confused with the combiner wars style

*images removed - no need to share and promote other sites*

I concede to a point I was trying to make yesterday. These guys are gimicky, but cheaper than Combiner Wars toys and with those still fresh, it wouldnt make sense to just do it all over again, especially when similar characters are at play. So with the lower price point and cool look, I say why not. If kids want a more detailed Menasor, they can get it. I dont really like these much but I do adore the bigger bots in them. that Motormaster looks incredible with his stylized manner and I am really curious about the engineering on Grimlock. I cant believe he actually has a full on dino mode when we only see half the dino in combined mode. I might buy these just to see how it all works out. And hey, I like Power Ranger toys, these arent too different. And now I actually wonder if they are compatible with eachother. Like can you swtich limbs around, could be fun

Big news for Irish RID fans, Combiner Force Warror Class Soundwave, Blurr, Skywarp and Windblade are available in Tescos for only €8.40. I picked up Blurr and Soundwave last night.

Living in Ireland and having trouble finding Wave 10 of Robots in Disguise; containing new figures Soundwave, Blurr and Skywarp? Well, look no further than Supermarket chain Tesco as fellow Seibertronian leokearon has spotted all three new figures alongside Windblade for the rather generous price of €8.40 each! Will this aid your search? Has anyone else found the illustrious new wave in their area? Let us know in the forums below!

We ain't finished yet! After the galleries and official images of the products shown and revealed at Toy Fair 2017 in Javits Center, New York City, we now turn to more videos of the Hasbro Transformers section, ranging from The Last Knight to Robots in Disguise, via Rescue Bots and Titans Return!

First up below is a collection of clips introducing the new Combiner Force branch of the show and toyline for Robots in Disguise, along with turnarounds of Menasor and the Autobot combiner we know as Ultra Bee, plus a video look at the whole RID section of the Hasbro stalls - check them out!

Ultra Bee's sword has a very Drift-esque color scheme, doesn't it?

I wonder if Bee's sword stores on his back like the Turnaround has it.

They re really small as Activator Combiners are only deluxe size and full combined they are not more than a timy bit taller than activator combiner bee in package next to them and he's well under 6" tall.

So I'd say the individual limb-bots are going to be not so far away in size from the crash combiners in size and the torsos are going to be scout size (roughly) in their robot modes.

Fellow Seibertronian ChuckDawg1999 has reviewed the latest One Step Bumblebee found under the Combiner Force subline of Robots in Disguise.

Here are his thoughts on it:

chuckdawg1999 wrote:As someone who collects One-Step changers I know, there's been a lot of Bumblebees, a lot. This version from the Combiner Force subline is different, the Transformation is fun and the robot mode feels solid. If you're looking for a fun desk toy then definitely give Bumblebee a look.

And here are his thoughts on the Optimus One-Step from the Combienr Force subline:

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Surprisingly, Optimus Prime hasn't had that many appearances in the RID One-Step line. This version from the Combiner Force sub-line actually mimics the Warrior Class transformation somewhat, with the cab becoming the arms. Like all One-Step changers, Prime makes for a fun desk toy and is worth a purchase.

I saw somewhere on Twitter that the combiner sets are to be sold at the $29.99 price point, so the size works out, along with the simplicity. Really excited for these sets!

Sorry if I missed it, but did we get any info on the size of the combiners?

realize I could go look at pics, so I will.

Considering the Crash combiners about deluxe size, the 4/5 bot combiners appear to be about voyager height, but very bulky

By "Deluxe" do you mean Legends/Scout?

Edit: I see what you are saying. Combined the Crashers are deluxe size. I see it now.

More like 'deluxe height'. Primestrong is about the height of my other deluxes present

Roughly voyager size. You can see them next to the activators, which are deluxe sized bots:



And man, am I the only one marvelling at this render. That truck mode just looks so stylish!

Yeah D, I see what you meant (edited last post to agree )

and no Billy, you aren't the only one.

The trick to these is to keep expectations low, hope for the best, and except them for what they are. Primestrong is neat and fun, but I still think the price point is to high for what you get.

Will, I love how that Motormaster truck makes for such broad shoulders on Menasor. Wide, silver, and mean!

Do you guys think the samples shown are hand painted? They appear to have some nice apps. Hope the production runs look that good.

Cobotron wrote:Do you guys think the samples shown are hand painted? They appear to have some nice apps. Hope the production runs look that good.

Given the sheer amount of hand-painting at the show, I'd be unable to say either way for these figures specifically. Maybe megatronus or Seibertron will have a better idea.

I wish they would look that good as the retail releases. that silver on Motormaster/Menasor is incredibly nice

So I suppose these dudes would best scale with Legions?

I know I know it's not all about scale lol, I'm just wondering how Ultrabee would look together with say, Legion Windblade and Ratchet and the scout-sized Mini-con pack thing Optimus

I'm gonna go ahead and say, GREAT!

Yeah I think they will scale rather well with those minicon 2 pack figures

william-james88 wrote:Yeah I think they will scale rather well with those minicon 2 pack figures

I would agree. Can't wait for them!

Just curious, has the Combiner Force One-Step Blurr been sighted in US Retail by anyone else yet? 'Cause I kinda found one and I didn't expect them to be on shelves yet.

PrymeStriker wrote:Just curious, has the Combiner Force One-Step Blurr been sighted in US Retail by anyone else yet? 'Cause I kinda found one and I didn't expect them to be on shelves yet.

Yup, that wave has been found. We are currently lookign for sightings of the warrior wave with Soundwave.

RiD figures need more paint apps. I feel like I have been saying this since the first wave of toys though.

I suppose reprolables can help. I only have 2 figs I wanna label up so I'll wait till I decide on more to make shipping worth it.

Did anyone else notice the arms and legs of Menasor are actually the same mold each with different robot parts, much like Galvatronus?

Yup. Reminding me a lot of the Energon combiners...

Ultra Bee stands out in that aspect, which is a good thing. I wonder if Bruticus will follow suit.

I just wonder if there's gonna be another Autobot combiner. They seem to be introducing new Autobots quickly enough...

The first is the switchblade type, the second is the car jack type, and it's the third that has the rotation. Twist the back spoiler and the whole body from the knees up twists along.

Is that figure being released now or part of a previous wave?

Call me crazy, but I think Ultra Bee is a five bot combiner like the other two. As someone mentioned the coloring of the sword in the turnaround, along with having some parts that look like its shoulders, leads me to believe Drift becomes the sword.

The packaging only displays the four. It's entirely possible Drift only becomes the sword in fiction and not the toy.

I think the toy sword is Drift in its sword mode. Logistically they probably couldn't do a transforming Drift who could go from car to robot then the sword.

Oh, the toy has a sword? In that case yeah, it's totally Drift. Didn't know that

A quick look tells me the new Sideswipe is Wave 2.

The packaging says "4 Figures", no more, no less.



I don't see anything special about the design of the sword, really. Besides, wasn't Drift more of an ally, rather than a permanent member of Team Bumblebee?

It's more noticeable on that clip of the show version of Ultra Bee that was released yesterday. The sword on his back has black and orange coloring, just like Drift.

It could very easily just be a show-original idea that wasn't the original intent for the toy's weapon, but yeah, here you go.

Thats what I think

Methinks someone hasn't seen episodes 17-45 yet.

Better late than never. We finally have official images of the Legion and Warrior Robots in Diguise toys unveiled at the 2017 New York Toy Fair.
Most were found on the show floor but we do have a never before seen figure of Legion Heatseeker, who is a component of Menasor. Some have already been seen before, but never the less, below you will see images for the following figures:

Legion
-Heatseeker
-Starscream
-Cyclonus
-Blurr

Warrior
-Thermidore
-Windblade (masked version)

That legion Heatseeker looks pretty sweet. Dang the cons have been nailing it with this line!

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:That legion Heatseeker looks pretty sweet. Dang the cons have been nailing it with this line!

And still with less than half the cons represented!

Windblade looks like a dude with a mountain-man beard and mustache. I'd say, she'd give AOE Hound a run for his money.

I guess I'll have to buy two heatseekers in case they don't make his repaint.

If they made a legion class of every con from the show, I'd buy it. I love how they keep nailing the them

The colors for the mouth guard may have been poorly chosen. My Blastwave needs a companion, but which of the two Windblades?

Does anyone think we'll get Legions for every Stunticon?

If they make a larger figure of Heatseeker, I might just have to get him... that eyepatch thing is awesome.
