    Entertainment Earth had them for preorder for a while:
    Robots in Disguise Mini-Con Battle Packs? - TFW2005.com

    Other online retailers call them "Battle Packs". I assume Entertainment Earth has them mixed up with the actual 4-packs coming up?
    Robots in Disguise Minicon Battle Packs - TFW2005.com

    Also, we knew about the large figure/Mini-Con combo since Hasbro previewed a crapload of figures a few weeks back.
    Fortress Maximus, Powermaster Prime, G2 Bruticus & More Revealed! - Transformer World 2005 - TFW2005.COM

    However, these photos are new.

    Also, "Lord Doomitron" is "Bludgeon" after all.

    These are exactly like an idea I posted a few months ago. Funny they've come to fruition in some form.
    I'm might bite a few.

    My son will be all over these. They're the RiD equivalent of the Legends two-packs from previous years.

    I'm probably just failing with reading comprehension, but where is Lord Doomitron?

    Legends, for sure. The disc minicons go up to about the waist on Legends, so I'm guessing the same is true here.

    The main bots appear to be Scout/Commander sized. That's pretty cool.
    I'll probably get them and promptly toss the Bakugan figures in the parts bin.

    These are new molds? Maybe I'll be glad I waited on warrior size,.... If the new molds are better.

    That Optimus is how the Deluxe should've looked.

    I'm the opposite on ya: not sure we need a FIFTH scale on some of these... especially Optimus. :rolleyes2  But the minicons look fun.
    No surprise there. Optimus happens to be a best-selling toy in the TF line - you can find him in 4 other RID scales! :D  :banghead:  :( 

    Just wish more people asked for obscure stuff we haven't seen before - like more villains from the RID show?

    Not bad. The Minicons, I'm not all that interested in, but the Commander/Legends sized figures, I might be.

    Assuming the stickers on these are the same size as the Warrior stickers, that Optimus seems to be about 3/4 the size of the Warrior one.

    So it seems to be a class of slightly bigger Scouts + Minicon + weapons, so yeah a Deluxe price all around seems fitting.
