The second of the three Robots in Disguise Mini-Con Four Packs has begun to arrive at US retail! Like the previously released four pack, this set includes four Mini-Cons who can interact with your Deployers and other Transformers. This set includes redecos of Undertone, Anvil, and Hammer, along with being the debut of the new mold of Slipstream. This new mold Slipstream is the first Weaponizer type Mini-Con to be released, and rather than turning into a puck, torpedo, or ball to launch from a Deployer, turns into a weapon which can be wielded by the Warrior or Mini-Con Battle Packs scaled Transformers.
Thanks goes to TFW2005 member Lody666, who spotted these in a Walmart in Texas.

Nice, and based on episode 8, these are the in-show colors of Hammer and Anvil – I assume the same is true for Undertone and Slipstream.

I have a love-hate relationship with these four packs… the "naked" ones just don't do it for me. Especially in Cyclostorm's case, where his actual color scheme (in this pack) has no sprue, but his desert-colored repaint (in the previous pack) does. The only way to get him armored is to buy an extra of the original set of four.

That is unfortunate if that is the case. Swelter, Backtrack, and Slipstream need their buddies, Primus damn it.
Speaking of, I'm hoping Hasbro announces Torpor, Clout, and Forth from the cartoon. Back's name has no meaning now.

None of those have been found at US retail yet, unless someone found them and figured they weren't newsworthy.

Likewise. I haven't seen the Blizzard Slipstream, Swelter, Hammer, and Back in stores yet. Let alone Glacius, Scorch Jetstorm, and Ransack.
I will most definitely pick up this four pack though. Mostly because it's got the correct coloration of Hammer and the Weapon Slipstream.

Hey, the one I actually want!
Now if only my local stores would update to Thunderhoof/Quillfire's wave and the new minis.

Yeah they should have 5mm posts from what I seen weaonizer is basicly a targetmaster.

When you say "can be wielded by the Warrior or Mini-Con Battle Packs scaled Transformers" does that mean it has a 5mm peg? I haven't had much interest in RID 2015 toys but these weaponizer mini-cons would be great to use with other TF toys that have 5mm hand holes….
