And so it comes that another Transformers line reaches completion, with all its toys released.
We can report that the final Robots in Disguise releases, the Crash Combiners Saberclaw (Bisk and Saberhorn) and Primelock (Optimus Prime and Grimlock) have hit US retail stores. The pair of sets make up Crash Combiners Wave 4, with the Saberclaw set notably being the only plastic incarnation of Saberhorn, who was built up as a running foil for Bumblebee in season 2 of Robots in Disguise before Steeljaw stole his spot as the villain of the Decepticon Island arc.
The two sets were spotted by TFW2005 member Slagwave in the Brown Deer Road Walmart in Wisconsin.
Happy hunting, friends!

I know the feels. All my Targets still have everyone BUT primelock or saberclaw. My Walmarts have clearanced out the entire segment of that line. I did find and buy the only saberclaw I've seen at a target 2 months ago. Never saw primelock.

Still hunting for Saberclaw. This wave has been making small appearance. My shelves have only had Skyhammer and Primestrong.

Piggy-backing off netkid's post…if anyone has access to and would be willing to pick up Bisk/Saberhorn and Optimus/Grimlock for me, I would forever be in your debt.
Of course, I'd also gladly pay for the item, shipping, tax, finder's fee, etc..

Can anyone get me a Primelock(optimus/grimlock)? Do you have any stores that have him? I have found (and bought) every crash combined except for Primelock.

Yes, let's release more movie toys so that we can ignore the popularity of the Generations PotP line! After all, it's easy to show that movie toys sell better when… THEY STOP SHIPPING POTP TOYS TO SPAM MOVIE TOYS!

What is the Target DCPI for Crash Combiners Prime-lock?
He's the last one I need.

Found both new sets over the weekend. I've enjoyed the crash combiners and these are very fun, especially the Bisk/Saberhorn set. I spent so much time looking for these, I'm glad to finally have them in hand!

Just found the Lobster/Beetle set at Target tonight!

Good, now clearance this shit and get it off the shelves. We need space for all that new movie garbage that won't sell.

Galvatronus is available in Germany.

Bisk is ruthlessly orange.

So any pics or reviews?
There definitely was a cartoon design shot of him, yes, but he never appeared in the show, and unlikely to be released now.
Did Galvatronus appear anywhere in Europe yet (non-UK)? Here we only have Ultrabee and Menasor and for ridiculous prices (38-48 EUR)

Found this at Target in Eden Prairie, MN.
Sorry the quality is sorta potato. They had primelock as well but I passed.
I prolly don't get a news credit for this, but if I'm wrong, I certainly wouldn't turn one down. XD

i still want sky lynx from tlk dragonstorm. paint the two side heads gold like the lynx component, with the center painted like the dragonhead. the limbs speak for themselves. personally i'd name the two robots skyreign and lynxmaster after CW/UW sky lynx's combined modes but i doubt they'd do that officially
TyrantLizardKing
Yeah they showed off a design for him at last year’s Toy Fair but didn’t breathe a word about him afterwards. Must have gotten quietly cancelled.

Likely because she's not Bumblebee.

Awww, so definitely no Glowstrike figure? :c
hightail
cool. Guess the USA got the shit end of the stick since this came out at the end wave of the RID tfs.

Wait, does that mean there's not a combiner Bruticus still coming out? I could've sworn I saw something about him coming out… crap…
BB Shockwave
Yeah, I am hoping Heatseeker is released still, I want that toy… if we never got Warriors versions of the Stunticons, at least Legion will do. They were the main villains of much of season 3/4.
Unless the rumors are true, and Cyberverse will see more RID characters released, this is also our only chance of getting Saberhorn… pity the toy is crap.
I got them from UK ebay, there are plenty there, so they must be available in the UK somewhere. Btw, planning to do comparison photos between the 15pack and regular minicons, as soon as I can dig out the rest of my old ones…
