[SMHFConvoy]

Io9 has posted an article featuring upcoming (https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10154811147106694&id=393386711693) rid15 toys

Blurred, Sound wave, Twinferno and Cyclonus! Blurr looks like a prid Wheeljack retool. Legion Cyclonus, retool of Starscream but new soundwave!

[1AZRAEL1]

Soundwave will probably be bought. He doesn't look too bad

[SMHFConvoy]

Bludgeon looks okay but he'd be better as onslaught

[prjkt]

Some of those look really cool. Bludgeon/Blastwave as Onslaught would be sweet too.

[Paulbot]

Like the Blurr's (well apart from the face) and Laserbeak.

[Shirokaze]

Bludgeon looks cool! If I see it in store a will probably end up picking one up.

It'd look good armada hoist too (dammit, I'm supposed to be clearing my cache of customs!)

[SharkyMcShark]

Lot of new Blurr stuff.

I might consider getting the deluxe-equivalent if it does indeed actually turn out to be a remold of PRiD Wheeljack.

Also its the Rescue Bot version :D

Just had a look at the actual article (saw the pics on other TF sites) and had to laugh at this:


Few toy lines have thrived as long as the Transformers have, but those of us who grew up in the ‘80s probably barely recognize the Autobots and Decepticons you’ll now find in toy stores.

...except of course for the Titans Return toyline which is full of nothing but toys based on the ones that people grew up in the 80s with.

(Well except for Stripes and maybe G2 Optimus Prime)

As well as the overall Classicsverse/CHUGUR line which is now in its 10th year. This author... :rolleyes:

[BigTransformerTrev]

Blurr & Soundwave are good, Cyclonus & Skywarp are ok but I'm really liking Bludgeon

[Keidatron]

First time I'm actually interested in one of these newer series lines. What are the symbols on the figures like? I absolutely hate that stupid ring around them, would I be better off covering it over or would peel of or something? They sorta look like they're just stickers. Might get Blurr. Might get a seeker too if I can decide on a suitable head replacement.

The author has pretty much written a gift buying guide with Christmas being around the corner :rolleyes:

It's a shame we seem to be going back to characters based on G1 instead of the wacky new beastial cons we've had the last few years.

Still, some of these look pretty neat
Soundwave is... Odd. So beefy. And that blank prime face... Big change. But still looks pretty neat

I'll probably end up getting most if not all the Warriors and legions

And maybe the activator Soundwave

I hope there is plenty more to come from RiD

The faction symbols are on stickers that work with the smartphone game
None of the ones I have appear to be peeling off yet. And I doubt they would naturally any time soon
Unfortunately there is a moulded indent on each figure for the sticker
So if you peel them off you'll just have a large moulded circular indent in their body where it was
I've gotten used to the stickers personally
But if they bother you but you want to get one
Your best bet may be sculpting/ painting over it or something

It's because it's what most fans want, although I agree with your preference for seeing more new/original characters.

...but I'm not personally a fan of RiD's thing where all the good guys have humanoid robot modes and the baddies all have bestial robot modes. (-_-)

I agree with you there. It's kind of weird and frustrating that it was only the cons who were animal-like. So it's kind of nice to see Twinferno here being an autobot with Dragon head hands.
Wonder if they'll make him an ex-con?

Ideally it Would be nice to see a larger mix of body types on both sides
Humanoid: Starscream, fracture, bumblebee, Strongarm, etc
Humanoid beast: thunderhoof, Steeljaw, Twinferno(kinda) etc
Animal robot: Springload, underbite, etc
Beast mode: grimlock, filch, etc

[SMHFConvoy]

And we never saw filch's humanoid robot mode, save for a silhouette...

[prjkt]

I don't think Warrior Blurr is a wheeljack retool, looks similar at a glance but quite different when you look closer

[FatalityPitt]

RiD Blurr (both Warrior and Legion) remind me of Hot Rod/Rodimus. Potential re-deco?
