As always, the Transformers: Robots In Disguise Mobile Game App is proving to be a wealth of information when it comes to the Animated Series toyline.
2005 Boards member Axos states that app version 1.5 is rolling out featuring never before seen toys which may come to us in the near future.
There seems to be a new line called Advanced One-Step and Groundpounder as a Legion Class toy.
Like last time, the update seems to be rolling out regionally so, it may take some time for you all to get it. But our member is more than happy to list down some of the stuff that is new:
- Strongarm: Advanced One-Step, Battlepack
- Sideswipe: Blizzard One-Step, Alpine Battlepack
- Optimus Prime: Advanced One-Step, Blizzard Legion
- Drift: Blizzard Legion
- Groundpounder: Legion
We will bring you more info as we get them.

I read threads all the time. Way before I started posting. It was about a year + ago it mentioned here on tfw, that he was doing some voice acting and there was a hint he was working on transformers. I think the rest was speculation from fans ans possibly there was an interview.
l check into though see what I can dig up

Very nice ! Thanks for sharing !

I'm hoping these "weapon" mini-cons are released individually… I haven't had much interest in RID2015 but these weapons could be fun with other figures that have 5mm hand-holes.

When was Jeffrey Combs called? Do you have a link?

In the app, Bludgeon and Lord Doomitron are two different figures. Doomitron is the one with three prongs sticking out from the back.

Looks like Strongarm is using the upscale Legion approach I also hope the figure wont be as bland as the bot mode looks in the pic
My guess is that she could be part of wave 3
Fasttrack
It's also possible he may remain Lord Doomitron, since he and Bludgeon have different character portraits and different slots in all the character lists

Ratchets all but confirmed. Takara has a Ratchet.in their upcoming TFadventure e-z packs (legion figure packs) and since its a legion its definitely a on screen bot if you ask me because they only put 4 figures in a pack & history has shown this is the case.
Also when the voice of Prime ratchet got called last year into voice over work, it was hinted at strongly he would voice ratchet in season 2 ; )

Of course, I just thought the idea of the name was amusing. Bludgeon would be a bit better, even if it was just another nameslap.
Thanks for clearing that up, though!
Nevermore
Again, that one might be a working name, and the final name might be "Decepticon Bludgeon".

Lord Doomitron…
I think these figures are cute, some of the Minicon names are pretty amusing. I still really dig Swelter, he'd be a great minion for Megatronus. I also like the artwork for the characters.

It's worth noting that some of the torpedo Minicons on the game app appear to have fist posts on them… if they are on the actual toy it might give the option of being held as a sword by a bigger bot.
Nevermore
These would be the Mini-Cons revealed by Hasbro back during New York Comic-Con.
Back then, "Lord Doomitron" was referred to by Hasbro as "Blu".
Another figure that was also referred to as "Lord Doomitron" was this one, revealed during the Hasbro Google Hangout event back in November:
And we know by know that the final name of that figure is "Decepticon Bludgeon":
Which would explain "Blu".

Thanks a lot for the awesome pics!
Lord Doomitron looks hilarious. And has a hilarious name.
I am surprised that Dragonus's weapon form is an autobot!
Burnout
This game went to crap when they took away the abilitynto switch out bots and instead give these minicon thongs that take forever to get. Bring back the swap and heal feature.
Weezie
I see Ratchet

Lord Doomitron has to be my favorite Transformer ever conceived.
BlackHawkOmega
Ooh, I didn't know Strongarm was getting an armor/mini-con pack too! Looking forward to that!
SilverOptimus
Outstanding work there, Griffin. Simply excellent. I'll put a post up with complete credit to you and our other member from Ozformers. (yes, I saw your thread. )
Even I was doing the same but now I can see you've completed the work for this update with flying colors. This is awesome.

It took a week until the android version was released (maybe they were checking it for glitches this time, as the last update to the android version was fautly)… and I finally got around to taking some snapshots of the latest update, which only had 8 new bots and 7 new Minicons… so not a lot of photos this time.

On the Game's character-select screen, "new" are completely new characters, while the ones with "!" on them have new versions added to existing characters.
On the Toy Checklist screen, we see the ones that are actual toys (which is all but the Starter Groundpounder from the Game screen).
Since there weren't many new ones with this update I only took screenshots of the categories that had new ones added – and added the yellow logo to any that were on there before the latest update (to make the new ones stand out).

Screenshots of each of the new ones, in both modes in the game.
– Starter versions are not toys, but I think their robot modes in the game are based on the cartoon versions of the characters.
– All new versions of existing characters look to just use past versions of their alt-modes… even if the colours don't match (One-step Blizzard Sideswipe and Evolved Strongarm).
– I included an image of the regular One-Steps with the new Evolved versions, to show the difference with the robot modes (they use the same alt-mode though).
