Shared by Soundbarricade and pointed out by Nevermore, worldwide first sighting of these cool new toys!

Scandinavia Transformers Sightings

 

Not into the Combiner Force figures (other than Warriors and Legions, if they count) but hey, some kid will like them.

 

I'm am Intersted see video not picture video review of this set see how figures look in combined mode from look of vehicle mode bot modes can't be that inperssive to look at maybe fun to combine

 

That moment when you realize Energon did Powerlinking better in 2005 than RiD did in 2016! XD

 

Unfair comparison, the Energon toys were Deluxes, sold individually, and came from a point where the budget and parts count per toy were much higher.

These come in a two-pack, and seem to be roughly Legends sized individually. They're also built around the central gimmick of "crash" combination.

 

It's perfectly fair because Hasbro knows they can do better  

 

Gotta love how the new Mini-Con bots have zero paint and a gimmick that just makes them stick their kibble out in vehicle mode.

 

That moment when you realize Armada Minicons did combination better and had better paint jobs in 2003 than legends figures in 2016! XD

 

My first front-paged post, and on Christmas Eve!
happy me ^^
I didn\'t buy the sets, because I\'m not into the new RID (and because the danish prices are INSANE!) so I can\'t comment on... anything :-/

 

You are so full of WIN right now...   My thoughts exactly!

 

Don't stop me now son! I'm on a roll!

 

That moment you realize Takara did a better job with this exact style of combining in 1989 with Landcross/Multiforce, who had better paint jobs, individual robot modes, colors, and even better articulation.
slowly clap
great job hasbro, 10/10

 

OH MAN! WE GOT A COMBO GOING! That moment when you realize G1 Combiners did Combination better in 1985 with Legends sized toys, used actual metal as part of the design, better individual robot modes, and STILL had better articulation! And I'm not even a fan of G1!

 

TFW the Duocons from 1987 at least had Stickers then being left unpainted like these things

 

You'd think people who obsess over toy robots would have a better understanding of them from a business perspective, especially the one one that produces and sells them.


But nope.

For what they are I think they are okay. Unpainted but looke like they might be little fun pocket figures. I want to wait and see if we get Warriors of the 2 jets first.

 

Here's a business perspective:

Yes, you will make money off these crappy toys. BUT You can make a TON more money by knowing what the fans want instead of trying something completely new and left curve to completely alienate the current fanbase and consumer regulars. Why not keep going up and improving on engineering and detail? Oh man they didn't make more than 1trillion that one month? Surely they'll go out of business :/. Quality will ALWAYS trump quantity. Let new people see why we love the toys we got years back. Hasbro has been trying to scare us off by constantly dumbing these figures down.

Business perspective.

I'll pay the inflated price if the figures continue to be creative and not cheap.

 

The Powercore combiners offered more than these things XD

 

Wow. It scares me if you actually think that way.

 

Hasbro should cater exclusively to adult fans. Children will recognize the superior quality of collector-oriented toys.

 

Are you having such a good time, are you having a ball?

Why not? I did back in the 80s.
