Online retailer ToyWiz has posted some details of more upcoming additions to the KidRobot Transformers VS G.I. Joe collection. In addition to the 7-inch Cobra Commander and enamel pins, we are also getting a set of 18 PVC minifigures based on the Tom Scioli comic series, including the likes of Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Bumblebee as they appeared in the series, as well as a 7-inch version of Megatron complete with his energy flail and Grimlock head mitten.
Both the minifigures and the Megatron are set for a December 2017 release.

Well they're out now. I uhhh was off on Serpentress…….she's umm 1/96. Avengersrules didn't have G2 Grim so still don't know his ratio.
~edit~
Just watched an unboxing and blue Grim is 1/96 as well.
SouthtownKid
Because you like TF more than Joe?
dCon
Thanks bro I am looking forward to possibly getting a set they look and I buy too much as is.
Ist not a mystery to my why they make that decision it's beyond my impression of what would work better as a toyline
SouthtownKid
Because half of Transformers vs GI Joe is GI Joe? Doesn't seem so mysterious to me.

These are the only two places that I found to have full cases:
Transformers vs. G.I. Joe Mini-Figure Series Display Box – Kidrobot – Transformers – Mini-Figures at Entertainment Earth
Transformers & GI Joe Vinyl Mini Series Mystery Box [24 Packs] (Pre-Order ships January)
You could probably get a full case from kidrobot if you just bought 24 single packs. Last time I bought Dunny from them they literally just took half a case and sent it to me.
~edit~
Well I'm dumb they state right on their site to get a case just order 24.

Does anybody have tje link to get full cases? Or maybe a few different places for options. I'd like to just the full case of smalls. This line would do better imo, if they made the Transformers that large Megatron size, and the GIJOES the 3" to 3.75" size. I kinda want to get the Large Megatron just to see if a few others come out. Why they wasted a large figure on Cobra Commander is beyond me.
dCon
Correct me if I'm wrong, Devils Due made the comic with Serpent-O.R. yes? The Megatron Sepentor amalgamation. That comic rules and I enjoyed ALL the Devils Due or any of those Gijoe Transformers comics so I would say in my opinion they aren't garbage lol. Your opinion is of course fine but it's just an opinion yes, others enjoy these comics too I'm guessing?
SouthtownKid
Crap. That's the one I want most.
Also Flagg. Crap again. Stupid blind bagging! You're going to force me to skip the entire line!
Chiller
That would make me very sad
NemiMonkey
Well just going by simple math based on the case of 24 I got this:
Bazooka 2/24
Cobra Commander 2/24
Destro 1/24
Flagg 1/48
Scarlett 1/24
Grimlock 2/24
WheelJack 2/24
Baroness 1/24
G2 Grimlock 1/48 (could be 1/96 if they want to make it a real chase but that's more a Dunny thing)
Optimus 2/24
Ultra Magnus 1/24
Soundwave 1/24
Starscream 2/24
Bumblebee 2/24
Megatron 2/24
Shockwave 1/24
Snake Eyes 2/24
Serpentress 1/48 (see G2 Grim)
One of the commons will be swapped out for chase figures. One chase per case(unless a factory whoopsie happens).
Chiller
Excellent, thanks!
The listing is up now on Kidrobot, but unlike other sets on the site, it doesn't list the ratios.
Transformers vs. G.I. Joe Mini Figure Series
However if you look really really close at the photos, I can read:
Bazooka 2/24
Cobra Commander 2/24
Destro 1/24
Flagg 1/48
Scarlett 1/24
Grimlock 2/24 ? 3/24 ?
WheelJack 2/24
Baroness 1/24
G2 Grimlock 1/48 ???
Optimus 2/??
Ultra Magnus ?
Soundwave 1/24
Starscream 2/?
Bumblebee 3/?
Megatron 2/24
Shockwave ?
Snake Eyes 2/24
Serpentress ??
Looks like a full box will give you everything except for one of Flagg or G2 Grimlock.

And there are two versions of the large Megatron. The one posted on in the first post, plus a more expensive purple version.

It just means that in a case you get 2 eggman/3 sonic etc. The 1 in 40 means that for every 2 cases one will have the chase figure. Shitty for sure but that's how they make their money. It's the exact reason I stopped collecting Dunny. They make highly desired figures chases just so people buy tons of bline boxes.
There have been instances where a series will only have one of each figure in a case so if you buy a case of 24 that's all the figures in one box.
SouthtownKid
Not really. I'm a Joe fan. The v.5 Crimson HISS is transforming enough for me. And the Devil's Due comics were garbage. I much prefer this and these designs for both franchises.
BB Shockwave
I never said they were. I said they had better TF designs. Ask any GI Joe fan, ANY, they would give half an arm for a transforming HISS Tank.
More to the point, why does he wear a toilet seat around his neck???

Christ, what is wrong with people? How did blindboxes go so wrong?
Seriously, I loved the idea back in the day. Get a cheap little toy from a small assortment but you're not sure which. Okay, awesome.
Now it's "get a horrendously overpriced toy from a ridiculously varied assortment, and since it's multiple properties there's a decent chance you won't even get a figure from a brand you care about."
Chiller
@dCon : Yeah, what SouthtownKid said.
I'm a little confused about the full cases.
Looking into some of the other sets on Kidrobot.
ie:
Sonic the Hedgehog 3" Blind Box Mini Series
Looney Tunes 1.5" Blind Box Keychain Series
Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Blind Box Mini Series
Mostly, the chances of getting are equal to the number of items in a case, plus some ultra rare figures, eg the Sonic one:
So, does that mean, in a full case of 20 you'll get exactly that many of each of the /20 ones, with 50% chance of either Sonic Pixelated or Ring?
Or does it mean that there is a chance you could end up with 24 Eggmans in one case?
I'm really not sure which.
Might have to end up buying individual figures from ebay. Bah.
I suspect with the Transformers box, G2 Grimlock is going to be ultra rare.
SouthtownKid
I think he means, yay, you can get them individually. But, BOOOOO, blind packs are evil and I hate to support them.
dCon
Yea totally, me too for a second. But that is undoubtedly Bazooka fo'sur.. I love how toys make books we have but don't read, interesting again. Especially seeing Megatron wearing Grimlock's head on his fist! Righteous
Me too. Soon as BBTS has em I'm gonna preorder the case (long as it ain't more then $200) It's actually not a bad price if you think about it comparitively. The Loyal Subjects are $13.99 -14.99 and they may have a few more points of articulation in wave 3 & up, but since these KidRobots have the basic vinyl points, swivel heads, arms, wrists. $9.99 each isn't that bad. And it's $8.33 each, when buy a 24 packed case.
What does your +1 & -1 ratings mean? Only thing I can think of is this a rating on blind packs vrs. individual packs, i.e. $44544.99 positive, vrs. 9.99 negative) OR
