Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)

From MediaWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Template:Nav-Rid2015 The 2015 Robots in Disguise toyline will coincide with the animated series of the same name. Like the preceding Age of Extinction toyline, it features a mixture of easy-to-transform figures and more "traditional" figures with multi-step conversions.

The overarching gimmick for the line is special faction symbol "Shields", which can be scanned with the accompanying Robots in Disguise app to temporarily unlock the toy for use in-game.

Three-Step Changers / Hyper Change Heroes

Three-Step Changers aka Hyper Change Heroes (see the Notes section for more) succeed the Age of Extinction Flip & Change toys as a large, simple-to-transform price point. Unlike those figures, however, there is no unified transformation scheme.

Mini-Cons

Featuring single-step transformations, Mini-Cons transform into weapons (buzzsaws for the Autobots and torpedoes for the Decepticons), and can interact with larger figures. They include a number of clear-plastic accessories, packaged on the sprue, which can be pegged into various sockets on their bodies. Some of the figures' accessories can be combined with those from their wavemates to form an "energy animal": a big cat for Wave 1, and a shark for Wave 2. The energy animals for waves 3 and 4 are currently unknown.

    Notes

    • Because Hasbro stopped printing assortment names on the toys' packaging, confirmation of just what exactly the various price points are named needs to be taken from other official sources. Unfortunately, Hasbro toyed around with several alternate working names, which then ended up being used not only by different online retailers, but also for international versions of Hasbro's official website. This results in a situation similar to 2005's Legends of Cybertron price point (also known as "Cybertron All-Stars" and "Cybertron Micro Series"), the Construct-Bots line (aka "Construct-A-Bots", "Construct Bots" or "Construct A Bots") and the Age of Extinction line's Power Battlers (aka "Power Attackers" or "Deluxe Attackers"), where it's difficult, or even impossible, to conclusively determine the "official" name for these price points:
      • The One-Step Changers are identified as "One-Step Warriors" on the United Kingdom, Canadian, German, Singaporean, Australian and Belgian versions of the Hasbro website, among others. The United States version initially also called them "One-Step Warriors" (with overview listings identifying them as "One-Step Changers"), but later changed the individual figures' entries to "One-Step Changers"… yet a few instances of "One-Step Warriors" still persist. Online retailers (among them Amazon UK, Toys"R"Us Canada and Walmart USA) also use the "One-Step Warriors" name in their listings.
      • The "Three-Step Changers" aka "Hyper Change Heroes" (also "3-Step Changers" or "Hyperchange Heroes") are a similar mess: The Hong Kong, Singaporean, Canadian and United Kindom versions of the Hasbro website identify them as "Hyper Change Heroes", whereas the United States, Australian, German and French versions use the name "3-Step Changers". The Malaysian version uses different names for different individual figures. Again, retailers around the world have picked a name and are running with it. The press releases distributed by Hasbro's PR agency to news outlets after various media events all use "Three-Step Changers", and a Hasbro representative at BotCon 2015 further confirmed that "Three-Step Changers" was supposed to be the "final" name… then again, a Hasbro representative at Toy Fair 2013 had insisted on the name "Construct-A-Bots", too.
