Official Transformers site fully updated for RID & GEN

[griffin]

With the two new main lines this year being Robots in Disguise and Generations now launched, the official Transfomers website (http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/#) has been updated with all the new toy and character info.

The old website games are still on their games page, for any fans of them.

The instructions archive looks to be gone now, or at least is a link that isn't too obvious. And the News page is a link at the top of the page.

I have it bookmarked, and there are instructions going back to Armada.

Try http://www.hasbro.com/customer-service/toy-game-instructions.cfm, just tried it for starscream as a test

Nice... I figured it might be still there somewhere, but surprised that they aren't keeping a link on the Transformers page.
A shame that they don't seem to have been adding instructions to it since about 2010 with TFPrime.


Product images added to the update Transformers site have included a couple more RID toys that we know about (Warrior class Drift and Optimus, and Hero Mashers Bumblebee), plus some new Rescue Bots toys - Heroes figurines Boulder and Heatwave (now just single packs, but has a moving gimmick to the figurine), and an "Elite" Heatwave transforming firetruck (descriptions says it can interact with the trailer from last year's Optimus toy.
Images mirrored here for future reference (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/robots-in-disguise-201x-48/new-in-package-images-of-rid-2015-warrior-class-rescue-bots-and-hero-mashers-181809/) (as they don't stay on the Hasbro site forever).

And on the Canadian folder of the Hasbro site, one new toy has been added that they missed on the main American part of the site - One-Step Fixit (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/robots-in-disguise-201x-48/robots-in-disguise-one-step-changer-fixit-color-images-181808/) (the first toy for Fixit, which is the last of the five main-cast Autobots to have a toy revealed/released).
