Sideswipe looks fantastic all around.

These minicons remind me of the Blaster and Soundwave data disks. Also the blue dinosaur one so reminds me of Dial's dinocassette partner. Not good wih the names of those guys but yeah, I get a definite vibe there.

I'm liking that Prime actually. He's reminding me of like a Star Convoy, Grandus mix, but the outline reminds me of Sky Garry in bot mode.

Other than the hero mashers, I will probably wind up wanting basically all of this. I know I shouldn't like the deployers or....Anything other than the Warriors, and that probably makes me not a true fan. I don't care. I like the aesthetic, and the show looks like it'll be fun (while it lasts).

Sideswipe is surprisingly cool. He's the only thing making me want in on this line so far. Not even the big Prime is doing it for me. But that's okay. More money for all the TOTALLY AWESOME Combiner Wars toys coming out.

While Seibertron has provided a bunch of photos of the newly announced Robots in Disguise figures, showcased at the US Toy Fair, we now also have a video for you. This video shows what was found on the showcase floor. You can spot the newly announced Minicons, the Deployers, the new Warrior and Legion class figures as well as the giant Super Bumblebee and Mega Optimus Prime.

Cool bit about the Minicons - each sprue has a piece on it that can be combined with pieces from other Minicons, and if you buy the whole wave of them you can make a new bot out of said pieces. Pretty neat concept! The transformations also really remind me of the data discs from FoC, just not automatic/spring-loaded like those.

Sideswipe looks amazing and Jazz looks good too. While I liked Deployers Fracture before, I really like him a whole lot more now after seeing his alt mode. I don't care for Deployers Drift at all but since he comes with Jetstorm I'll probably pick him up. I love Minicons and Legion figures so I'll get all of them. One step Thunderhoof looks awesome and I can't wait for him to get a Warrior class figure. The rest don't really interest me in any real way. A really good showing for RID.

While Seibertron has provided a bunch of photos of the newly announced Robots in Disguise figures, showcased at the US Toy Fair, Hasbro has released the official pictures.

These give us an up close look at the new minicons and the clear armour bits they come with. It is interesting to note that these clear plastic pieces are packaged in a way that imitates the minicon's fraction symbol. The ones shaped as disks are for Drift while the ones shapes like arrow heads (torpedos) are for Fracture.

Scott notes the following regarding what he saw at the show:

These minicons include:

Akita Wolf

BeastBox

Buzzsaw

Dragon

Fracture

Jetstorm

Ratbat

Scorpion

Slipstream

Sliver

Deployers

Hyperchange Steeljaw

Mega Optimus Prime

Super Bumblebee

Well, forget the one-step. I'll take that Legion Fixit.

Sideswipe still looks cool, but something about Jazz just doesn't feel right. I'll probably still get him because, screw it, it's fucking Jazz.

Posted by Noideaforaname on February 14th, 2015 @ 11:04pm CST

So many of these promo shots are basically repeats of each other...

The Mini-Cons are a bit of a lot of things: the Data Discs, the Construct-Bot dinosaurs, even a bit of BMOG. I wonder if there's a specific bot you make after getting them all, or if it's just an open-ended make whatever.

Re: Toy Fair US 2015 Coverage Robots in Disguise New Product Updates and Pictures (1651524)
Posted by william-james88 on February 14th, 2015 @ 11:35pm CST

I actually really love these minicons, especially the autobot ones. But I really dont like the Deployers themselves. That drift alt mode looks horrendous. I would have preferred a non transforming drift is I was going to get something this bad. Also, it is so odd how the one step fracture has a much better alt mode than the more expensive Deployer Fracture.

Lastly, I thought Jazz looked weird too, and then I realized he had eyes.

That Sideswipe looks awesome though!

Anybody else getting an Energon Omnicon/Terrorcon vibe from these minicons? These in my opinion fill a collecting niche that the Construct-bots Dinobot Riders and before that Botshots filled. Something inexpensive to waste my money on :lol:

Any pricing on them yet? They look cute, but they'll certainly cost enough that I'll hesitate to buy them. It's also neat that the transparent armor pieces will combine into their own robot.

4.99$ each packed individually, all the pricing can be found here. I actually think its a fair price since its half a data disk set for half the price.

I was completely on-board with Fracture, until I looked closer at the little launcher. If I can't hide that thing somewhere in robot mode that's a deal breaker.

I hope it gets a Warrior class figure, because I like this design best out of the new Decepticons revealed so far. >:oP

On Ben Yee's facebook page, you can see some videos that show how the deployers work. It's a bit lackluster but the individua minicon transformation is great!

More than hunderoof? I hope that guys gets a warrior treatment and that when the time comes, the rake transforms into his antlers instead of being replaced by them.

I might go ahead and pick up the Mini-Cons, as they're a little different and quite cool looking. The Deployers don't appeal to me in the slightest and the new play-style is beyond weak.

As for the rest of the Robots in Disguise line, I'm still trying to figure out what all the different figure types are. I get the impression Hasbro are falling back into the habit of over-saturating their own brand with numerous play options. I feel like I'm going to have to buy them all before I can figure out which one I actually want.

What is the bigger non minicon toy's name? is it Fracture or Airazor?

How big is the non minicon toy? Deluxe class or Voyager Class?

What is HasTak calling the vechicle mode for the bigger non minicon toy? Please don't say deployer as that's the gimmick.

It's not the same gimmick, though. Not entirely. The internal storage and automatic transformation of Rewind, Frenzy and company is what made them special to me. These Mini-Con are more like spring-launched projectiles that happen to transform. I don't know whether to view them as poor functioning weapons or broken Bot Shots.

I view them as a de-evolution of Gen. Rumble, Frenzy and co.: all transform into the same shape and can be shot out, they just don't have a springloaded transformation. :lol:

That's fair, but as a de-evolution I just can't help but think 'what's the point'? I suppose you could accuse me of over thinking it, but once you fire off a projectile you generally don't interact with it much. Otherwise what's the point of it being a projectile?

You might be asking nicely, but it doesn't change the fact that these things are officially called Minicon Deployers. here's the official Hasbro description of what they are called:

TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE MINI-CON DEPLOYERS
(Ages 6 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99/Available: Fall 2015)
DEPLOYERS figures team with exclusive deployable MINI-CON figures to demolish enemies! Pick a side and choose a warrior: AUTOBOT DRIFT or DECEPTICON FRACTURE. Each DEPLOYERS figure comes with one MINI-CON figure that it can deploy into battle! DEPLOYERS figures convert from robot to vehicle in less than 10 steps. Their MINI-CON teammates convert in just one. AUTOBOT DRIFT figure works with all buzzsaw-shaped MINI-CON figures. DECEPTICON FRACTURE figure works with all torpedo-shaped MINI-CON figures. Collect and deploy! Take the action to your mobile device.
Download the TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE app to your digital device, then scan the shield to unlock a character or weapons or more!

Also, they arent voyager size, they are more like the old Beast Wars Mega size, so just a tad bit bigger than a deluxe.

Anybody hear the rumor that Jazz is a heavy retool of Prime Deluxe Bumblebee? Personally I hope it's a retool of Hot Shot since that version of the mold had the gears in the neck fixed so the head would lay flat. Sideswipe looks really good but that Ultimate Prime looks exactly like the Hyperchange figure. I can maybe see one or two new parts.

Yeah, he's definitely been oversized. The new added parts are mostly to accomodate Minicons.

I'll get them when they are discounted. I dont feel the urge to also purchase the Minicon Deployers though, I dont feel the mechanism is worth playing with at my age (it looks very archaic). The minicons look good on their own, especially the animal ones.
