Thanks to board member Jacer, we have our first sighting of the Robots In Disguise 2015 Minicon 4-Pack! Spotted in New Mexico is the Minicon 4-pack containing two Blizzard Strike Decepticons, Swelter and Backtrack, as well as two Scorch Strike Autobots, Beastbox and Undertone. These four come with Blizzard Strike and Scorch Strike armor pieces and can interact with the various Minicon deployers, Overload, Drift, and Fracture.
The set is priced at $16.99 USD and will soon be popping up at US retail stores all over, so keep an eye out and happy hunting, TFW!

Yeah the deployers are pretty bad. Almost no articulation, difficult to use the deploy lever, and an ugly mold imo. MiniCons are neat little figures that fit together nicely and look good in their armor. I don't mind dropping $5 for them.
Anyone know if these come with just the two sets of armor pictured, or is there enough for all four of them…? Lack of armor for some of the new minis is my biggest complaint.

are we getting anymore extra energon minifigs to puzzle together from the new minicons coming out? Like that lion and shark?

The MiniCons are actually nice. The Deployers, however, are very poor figures.
Nevermore
Again with the incorrect colors for Undertone.

Found 'em in Niles, IL TRU, too! Guess they JUST hit shelves. Which is kind of weird… who puts out new toys on Xmas Eve??? Is this a thing now???
I keep saying similar, but everyone is so damn into these. I bought the singles as stocking stuffers for the kids, but I'm not convinced they're worth the $5 cover charge. I'll see if my mind changes once we open up some deployers… cause maybe I'm just playing with them wrong. They do feel very cheap, though, so the enthusiasm seems blind to actual product quality.

These things are terrible. Terrible plastic quality. Every piece snapped together so no metal pins holding anything together. Hasbro must be desperate to save a penny.

doesn't that blue spheroid one look like they took the design from Star Wars?

What's the deal with the special edition.

Swelter looks like a mini-Steeljaw. In fact, if I collected this line I'd totally pair up the two of them.
