Hasbro have their 2016 Robots in Disguise toyline on display at Botcon 2016 – and the display includes some all new releases, including the newest Warrior assortment, the Platinum two-pack, a slew of Minicons, Powersurge Optimus Prime, and many others. The new assortment adds five more Warriors into the mix – Ratchet, Bisk, Windblade, Scorponok, and Scatterspike (Quillfire redeco). We also have some shots of the upcoming Platinum Edition two-pack of Warrior Bumblebee and Voyager Grimlock, who is a heavy remold of the Fall of Cybertron Grimlock toy, as well as the massive Powersurge Optimus Prime, who is decked out in wings and powerful armor!
Last but not least, on display are a plethora of the various RID Minicons that can interact with deployers and/or other versions of Strongarm, Sideswipe, Bumblebee, and Grimlock who can suit up with the armor and weapons provided by the Minicons. As far as recent releases go, we also have shots of the Blizzard Strike Warrior class Autobots Optimus and Drift, Nightstrike Bumblebee, and some of the three-step changers.
Check them all out in the images we’ve attached to the post and join the discussion!

they swapped windblade's wings around, it looks weird.

After looking at the Renders, I think if I got the RID Ratchet mold, I'd have to wait for an Adventure's repaint. That alt mode looks dire without some more paint.

So…any idea when Ratchet et al will be arriving. Will defo be getting Ratchet for his MTMTE-ness.
Slingshot
RID Ratchet looks very good. He could use some more bulk to make him less "box"-like.
Bisk is amazing. I love how his claws look like they're articulated. He definantly stole the show for me.
DOTM Bumblebee
With the prices Prime Ratchet's fetching on Amazon, I may get RID Ratchet as a cheaper alternative for my Aligned/MTMTE Ratchet. Bisque is also looking pretty good.

I'm not really into Rid either, but oh that Bisk – feels like I need to have him. Somehow reminds me of MOTU Clawful….
D-Unit
I'm not really a fan of the show and don't collect the figures, but I want the Ratchet

The alt mode for Prime looks all his parts fell down into a pile that you can roll around.

Love Bisk. I'll concur on how the cons look to be more substantial than the bots. Having I dig the big Optimus, but alt mode is disappointing. I don't like a single version of OP in this line.
Digilaut
Love that Bisk!
The13Primes
Bisk just like the rest of the cons will be bought. Ratchet looks good, with more paint that is.
Afterburner
Hasbro really, really likes to put out terrible Ratchet toys. He always sits on the pegs and shelves and it is no wonder why. Of all the characters to bring back, they bring him back to make this? Sad.
I'll have to see if TakaraTomy makes any of these look really nice. Bisk turned out better than I had imagined, even if he is a walking cliche with a terribly lame name for a Decepticon.

Putting Ironhide next to Strongarm(who Ratchet is a retool of) she stands just a tad squatter than Ironhide but surprisingly looks really good next to him.
Cosmoglide
Do the Warrior Class figures basically scale with Deluxes? Like if I stand that Ratchet next to my CW Ironhide, would they be about the same size? I was really bummed that I won't get a CW Ratchet, but I figure the Takara version of that Ratchet mold will be perfect.
Thundershot
Ratchet looks great. Bisk looks even better. I can't wait to have them both, but I think the TAV versions will look a lot better.
Chainlink
Soooo… I've been getting the show's cast, but that's an easy skip on Windblade. Yech.
Ratchet, Bisk, and Scorponok however. Knocked it out of the park. They look fantastic. And super happy that Ratchet has extensive remolding compared to Strongarm. He pulls off the mold quite well.
Also may have to pick up Lord Doomitron. 'Cuz I'll probably never get another chance to pick up a figure named Lord Doomitron. XD
Paladin
so, Ratchet HAS to be in the show now right?
Starscream Gaga
Bisk looks awesome. Really happy that after the initial lack of Decepticons the RID line is ending with a pretty decent split of relatively in scale characters. I've enjoyed collecting the Adventure figures, I'll definitely be picking up the Adventure Bisk and Windblade along with Ratchet and Scatterspike if they appear in-show.
Looks like we end up with…
Supreme Optimus, Voyager Grimlock, Warrior Strongarm, Drift, Sideswipe, Windblade, Minicon Slipstream and Jetstorm (8)
VS
Warrior Steeljaw, Thunderhoof, Fracture, Quillfire, Bisk, Scorponok, Minicon Airrazor and Divebomb (8)
The Autobots may have two bigger figures but comparing Team Bee to the Decepticons ends up an even split! Even if you add Jazz, Ratchet and Scatterspike it's still a great 10 vs 9.
HARD RAINBOW
Gonna need those mini-cons pronto

Man that Bisk turned out great! Ratchet is a nice welcome too and I can't wait to get him. Scattorspike is weird but it still nice to see more Decepticon Warriors in general. Windblade looks alright but I rather have her in hand before saying anything about it. I see that Thunderhoof and Quillfire are listed for Spring 2016, which makes sense I guess they haven't come out yet (sans the online releases).
