I have both, and if Megatron is a must get (which I am not denying) than Fracture is a "must rush out of my house and drive to every single store until you find it!"

I was hoping to get Fracture with a $50+ order on HTS for the free shipping, but with Vortex not showing up and with that me getting the limbs elsewhere, I may have to wait until hopefully onslaught shows up and he, Crosscut, Huffer, Pipes and Fracture can go together

Slipstream and Divebomb are directly from the show, in their vaguely humanoid robot forms, while wolf-like Sawback and unsurprisingly dragon-esque Dragonus are expansions to the Deployer figures. In addition, each Mini-Con pack comes with coloured clear plastic armour pieces, applicable to a variety of figures outside of the one the come with, and can combine with other pieces for an entirely new teeny tiny robo-creature. Check it all out by clicking on any of the images below!

I'm not a purist for the most part and I'm starting to match up some of the odd ones with other figures as lil tag along toadies. For example: the Scorch Strike Beastbox is chilling with Gen Wreck Gar, they match up quite nicely. Sandsting is with a bunch of random insecticons.
I also find the rolly polly ones to be the most fun. Backtrack has all of my love right now his energon weapons really make the figure.

My son was totally excited (especially now that Dad's advice about "keeping all the little parts where you can find them" has paid off)
My only question is---this appears to be an intentional design, not a fan build. How would one come to know this existed if it were not in any instructions anywhere? I would think, somewhat like the Marvel "build-a-figure" action figures, this would have added incentive to collect them all. It was just chance (well really my sons desire to have them all), that we got them.

It would have been pretty cool if they could have employed a more generic/universal connector system to encourage more creative play.
As it stands I Have the two energon beasties built, some of the armor/weapons pegged in and the rest in a tin.

Wave 1 and 2. I wanna say wave 1 builds the lion and wave 2 builds the shark.

These exra figures are really cool and bring a whole new layer to the idea of Transformers toys (the build a figure aspect) and I find it extremely well done. I love how everything fits perfectly together.
And yes, this was fully intentional and planed out (and well executed). While this was not in the instructions, it was stated in the Hasbro Panels at conventions. The people who got these early figured out these configurations based on the official announcements and the message has spread across the itnernet. I still find it sad that many kids out there would loveto know of this but since they dont know where to look or dont go onlie are not aware of this possibility.

This new Deployer figure can fire the new minicons which turn into balls, called cyclones. This should come as good news to those who already bought these new minicons, through the four pack for instance, and seeking extra playability.
This is also the very first toy release of the new character, Overload, who will be introduced in season two of Robots in Disguise. With the recent New York Toy Fair reveals, it appears this will be the only toy class to have this character, at least for the near future. This Deployer pack should be available at retail very soon.
Have you been buying the Deployer figures? If not, would this figure be your first? Let us know!

Well, if he is as big a villain in the show as the trailer's are making him out to be, we'll probably get a warrior class version of him.

o.supreme wrote:Thanks all. Well as I said earlier, my son got Sandsting at Kmart. Too bad they wont be getting any more stock. I've seen the others at local Target stores (Beastbox, Ratbat, & Velocirazor). I guess I know what he'll want to spend his allowance on for the next few weeks heh...
Well... lo and behold, K-Mart actually got some new toys in (odd since the sore is closing), my son got Beastbox, Ratbat, & Velocirazor all for $3.80 a piece + tax. So his collection is complete for the first two waves.
As for any new deployers... I'll await and see. He has plenty to keep him occupied for now. We'll see what cool gimmick (if any) they come up with. Also...Is there going to be a 4th deployer(Autobot) to counter Overload?

Crazybolt is coming down the line, but there are no planned autobot deployers in the near future as far as we've heard.

Oh they so have. Megatronus was awesome and Fracture is my favorite bike former. Still waiting on Thunderhoof and Quillfire, but things looks good for them too!

For thunderhoof, I may wait for takara, I'm not sure. it's more for the alt mode than the robot mode. And do you have Animated prowl? I think he really gives Fracture a run for his money in terms of bike former.

On the fence about Overload. As you know I want his lil friend, but I'd rather a warrior version and I have that minicon mold already.
Them round ones are fun.

Dont you have that very same minicon but in a different colour? Is his name different?

I do have the ninja version yes. Love that guy! But I like how Fracture integrates better, especially the fact that Prowl's legs get a bit funky while Fracture's are nicely done. Just the way Prowl folds up in bike mode is the one thing that pushes Fracture ahead.

Yup and nope. I just like that shade of teal and I really like the Backtrack mold.william-james88 wrote:carytheone wrote:I'm stoked for those con warriors to start showing up at retail. I've seen the TRU Megatronus, but I'm holding out for the normal release.

I'll just have to hold out for a good sale.
Same for the Drift deployer.
Crazybolt is a BOS though.

I have been holding out on a sale of minicons ever since they came out and I have yet to have seen any of them get on sale either at Walmart or TRU.

You got it Boss.
I also think Fracture does a better job hiding his parts than Prime Arcee, He just integrates better and the front of the bike on the back looks much better on him and folds up better

There are no KMarts in canada. The only retail outlets we have for these toys is Walmart and Toysrus.

It's this piece that covers his face to let him better resemble the illusionary Decepticon that Micronus Prime had Optimus battle against in the Realm of the Primes in episode 13 "Out of Focus":Seibertron wrote:Sabrblade wrote:No pics of Overload with his face mask deployed?

These 2 characters are repaints of their regular show paint schemes in the blizzard themed blues and whites with some clear icy plastic. Some images are mirrored below for your enjoyment.
What do you think of all the new paint schemes? Like the blizzard theme going on recently? Let us know in the comments section and stay tuned for even more Seiberton galleries to come!
