TRANSFORMERS: Robots In Disguise

Set includes Colossal boosters and Constructicons Fast Force pack.

SET NOTES: The original Marvel Comic run was my major inspiration behind the designs, but the cartoon defined The Transformers franchise in so many ways, that I felt it had to play a big part.

Custom Team Abilities for this set

Quote

AUTOBOTS When this character is targeted, you may replace its defense value with the printed defense value of an adjacent friendly character that can use this team ability.

Quote

DECEPTICONS When this character makes an attack, you may replace its attack value with the printed attack value of an adjacent friendly character that can use this team ability.

Designer Notes: This set has been a long time coming. I wanted to focus on the transformations, so to that effect there are many shifting focus and shifting click-color designs.

Most of the characters' power sets come from the comic, with its more tightly defined abilities for the characters. I have snuck in some iconic elements from the cartoon onto some dials, and certain characters, namely Spike, were drawn exclusively from the comics. The insecticons were also inspired more by their cartoon appearances than their portrayals in the comics.

Thanks to Baron Impossible for helping me decide on a final form for the Shifting Focus dials and for suggesting the opening-theme video.

And Special thanks to Hein2208 for all the help navigating the rules. Many final wordings on special powers and traits were his suggestions.
