Some interesting new listings alluding to possible new toys have popped up on Toywiz. These listings indicate a possible new segment coming in the Robots in Disguise toyline.
The listings are for a pair of “Minicon battle packs”, with listings stating they are coming in Optimus Prime and Sideswipe favors. Now, previous Minicons in the Robots in Disguise line were spring-loaded auto-transforming hockey-pucks or torpedoes, who interacted with the Deployer toys, and had some interaction with the Mega Optimus Prime toy. The price on these is the same as the Deployers – $19.99 – though there’s a question of why not keep the Deployer branding going, if that is all these toys are.
So we’re left with two possibilities. The first, is that these are “bonus value” packs which bundle Optimus Prime and Sideswipe with bonus Minicon figures – it’s possible, and certainly has happened with different toys in the past. The other possibility, though, plays into some mysterious toys also called Minicons shown at the New York Comic Con 2015 – these ones are small toys who form weapons, and are shown interacting with the Warrior class toys (image from NYCC 2015, showing one such toy with Optimus Prime, shown at left). Perhaps that is what these are.
As always, time will tell. Watch this space for more news!
