Seibertron has a new gallery for you today: Transformers Robots in Disguise Deployer Overload with Mini-Con Backtrack
This new Deployer figure can fire the new minicons which turn into balls, called cyclones. This should come as good news to those who already bought these new minicons, through the four pack for instance, and seeking extra playability.
This is also the very first toy release of the new character, Overload, who will be introduced in season two of Robots in Disguise. With the recent New York Toy Fair reveals, it appears this will be the only toy class to have this character, at least for the near future. This Deployer pack should be available at retail very soon.
Have you been buying the Deployer figures? If not, would this figure be your first? Let us know!

He looks cool, but I wish he looked and functioned just a bit better.

Well, if he is as big a villain in the show as the trailer's are making him out to be, we'll probably get a warrior class version of him.

Well... lo and behold, K-Mart actually got some new toys in (odd since the sore is closing), my son got Beastbox, Ratbat, & Velocirazor all for $3.80 a piece + tax. So his collection is complete for the first two waves.
As for any new deployers... I'll await and see. He has plenty to keep him occupied for now. We'll see what cool gimmick (if any) they come up with. Also...Is there going to be a 4th deployer(Autobot) to counter Overload?

Crazybolt is coming down the line, but there are no planned autobot deployers in the near future as far as we've heard.

For thunderhoof, I may wait for takara, I'm not sure. it's more for the alt mode than the robot mode. And do you have Animated prowl? I think he really gives Fracture a run for his money in terms of bike former.

I'm stoked for those con warriors to start showing up at retail. I've seen the TRU Megatronus, but I'm holding out for the normal release.
On the fence about Overload. As you know I want his lil friend, but I'd rather a warrior version and I have that minicon mold already.
Them round ones are fun.

I do have the ninja version yes. Love that guy! But I like how Fracture integrates better, especially the fact that Prowl's legs get a bit funky while Fracture's are nicely done. Just the way Prowl folds up in bike mode is the one thing that pushes Fracture ahead.

Same for the Drift deployer.
Crazybolt is a BOS though.

You got it Boss.
I also think Fracture does a better job hiding his parts than Prime Arcee, He just integrates better and the front of the bike on the back looks much better on him and folds up better

There are no KMarts in canada. The only retail outlets we have for these toys is Walmart and Toysrus.

Hot on the heels of the Overload deployer gallery Seibertron is proud to bring you our latest gallery entry: Blizzard Strike Drift and Jetstorm!
These 2 characters are repaints of their regular show paint schemes in the blizzard themed blues and whites with some clear icy plastic. Some images are mirrored below for your enjoyment.
What do you think of all the new paint schemes? Like the blizzard theme going on recently? Let us know in the comments section and stay tuned for even more Seiberton galleries to come!

Forth's an amusing little roly poly gremlin, though.

Is there any indication that these minicons also have an extra energon animal you can do?
If not, I guess I will just stick to the first 2 waves and then go with the weapon ones.

I was just going to ask the same thing, but seeing as how Slipstream is a repaint, the energon parts are exactly the same. I'm not sure if it will be possible, unless his lion head armor forms the head of a new animal. In which case, that would be some true technical designing genius, and a lot of forethought.
Additionally...though Swelter is pretty much a repaint of Divebomb, his energon parts on the arms are slightly different. So I guess we wont know until somebody gets these in hand, or Hasbro tells us something.

Forth looks like a great little figure, and if they ever show up near me I'll army-build him, but...Back and Forth.
BACK AND FORTH.
Whoever is doing the names for these guys seriously needs firing.

I though it was really funny and cute.
I hope one of the Hammer minicons is just called "Time".
At least fire the platinum guy before the naming guy,

I just instantly thought of Buck in Ice Age 3 and got a chuckle out of it.

these are dumb. Why couldn't we have better Arms micron Figures/accessories?

I think these are way better than the arms microns we got before.
How does this look like an octopus (speaking of looking dumb):
And remember these? I would rather we dont go back to this:
But if you liked them, thats cool.

I kinda get the sentiment, at least the microns made epic weapons, if the mini-cons at least had ball-jointed shoulders and thighs, I'd like them way more

Look at that Bumblebee in this pic and it's weapon mode and letme know if it looks epic to you.
hint hint, its not
Also, while the octopus did make a decent pile driver weapon for Frenzy and Rumble, you only got one per figure. I cannot express how much that blows.

I love the names. they are getting some good ones (and some good jokes) in there. Lest we forget Hammer and Anvil

Eh, I dunno. If Back and Forth were sold together it wouldn't bother me so much, but them being sold separately kinda kills the joke.
As for the naming guys, there are still some seriously terrible names for some of these guys. Lord Doomitron would be bad enough for a Big Bad, but for a Minicon?
Hammer and Anvil on the other hand is great.

It kinda reminds me of armada terradive - who was awesome... til the soft plastic cracked where the claw attaches to the body
They weren't all great, but they were refreshingly different, and they look a lot cooler than the dumb, upcoming sword mini-con and his doofy face chillin' on the side of the sword.

Of all the galleries to start up a fun discussion on the ol' Energon Pub, these were not the ones I thought would accomplish that. Four more to go and then it's on to the 4 2-Pack Battle Packs.

Hammer and Anvil= Blacksmithing. Iron work. Specifically a lot of heat and then brutal beating.
