Hasbro have also released some new official images of their new Robots in Disguise 2015 line. Included in this round of reveals are:
- Our first look at the “Deployers” and Mini-Cons series of releases. Deployer Fracture and Mini-Con Slipstream are shown – Fracture is a larger (looks to be Warrior, and transforms in 10 steps according to a press release) sized figure, who comes with a launcher. Slipstream turns into a hockey puck, and is a one-step changer. Mentioned but not shown is a Drift Deployer and more Mini-Cons, apparently in two types – Drift gets the hockey pucks or “sawblades”, while Fracture gets Mini-Cons who turn into torpedoes. There’s a separate Mini-Con assortment coming, with four figures in it – Slipstream, Dragonus, Divebomb and Sawback.
- A look at a Super Bumblebee, who costs $49.99, transforms in three steps, and plays sound effects in both modes, including the transformation sound effect when going between modes.
- A Mega Optimus Prime, who retails for $29.99, transforms in one step, and can equip Mini-Cons as weapons and armor.
- There is also a look at a Legion class and Titan Hero version of the Autobot Sideswipe

Hasbro's presentation starts at 1PM EST, and we'll most likely start getting showroom pictures and official stock photos once it ends (so probably a bit after 2PM).

Hasbro Boardroom:
Good morning Team TF; we need to ADD a gimmick to these action figures that ARE gimmicks.
Afterburner
That large device that is attached does not look good at all whether it detaches or not.
With these reveals this line is shaping up to be one of the weakest of all time and certainly the weakest in the last decade.
Feralstorm
Yeah, they definitely appear to be renders from the CAD models. That's been done previously with some Kre-O preview pics too I believe.
IgnikaMarcus
He doesn't like anything Hasbro does.
Hey Tim, how about you go off and bitch about something actually worth bitching about?
ShingoEX
Well, this is definitely a first. Just when I thought the designers were running out of Transformers ideas, we have one that apparently disguises himself as a raw beef hamburger patty
Shin Densetsu
I don't mean to come off hostile or snarky but
1- do you even like any of the RID designs? I know it's a kids line and some of us like it but want better toys
2- If you don't like RID designs I don't see why this would bother you
Judging from your posts it's as if you hate almost everything Hasbro makes. I mean I get it but I get the feeling this wasn't even a line you were going to like let alone a show you would watch.
Hollywood Hoist
The same Hasbro that brings Masterpiece to the United States and makes Generations figures based on characters we know and love?
eabevella
They look like CG models. Hasbro picked up 3 party tricks and use CG models as teaser.
Fracture looks nice. I think I need him. Hope the launcher is detachable.

Once again, hasbro couldn't care less about us.
It's a shame, that launcher is hideous, I don't understand why it wouldn't be a separate piece. Another baffling move by hasbro.
BigRed
There will be no Voyager size for this line, Hasbro said it will focus on young kids and simple play on this line while Deluxes, Voyagers and Leaders will be for the collector aimed line.

I'm just having trouble deciphering which bots are one step changers, three step changers, five step changers, titans, happy meal toys or warriors. They all look the same to me. And yea, I hope that launcher comes off of Fracture. Also, when do you think we will see Voyager (or whatever they call it these days) Optimus and Grimlock, you know, because both have no reason to be only warrior size.
fallen_revenge
When do pictures of the show floor come in?
Timothy.R
somebody kill me.
i remember the days when i'd be super excited and couldn't wait to see all of the new stuff hasbro had planned.
this.. this is just depressing. they've just fallen so far.

Fracture's design looks cool to me. the gimmick is meh but maybe could it still be decent.
Ravenxl7
I already had no interest in the Deployers, so no loss there, but I'm rather dissapointed that the Minicons are one-step changers, and by the sounds of it, rather limited design-wise.
Looks like I'll be sticking to the Legions and the ocasional Warrior class figure for this line.
Starscream0625
So, Fracture needs a tumor hanging off his rear in order to launch his Minicons? I sure hope it's detachable, because he loses his sleek look with it. And he's a motorcycle, right?
bman29
Fifty bucks for a three step Bumblebee? Yeah no, I don't care if it does have sound effects.
I not too excited for any of these.
Fracture looks cool but still over priced for what these hollow shelled things are.
Optimus looks good too, but limited articulation.
seali_me
That Prime looks so old school!
