In hand Images of Robots in Disguise Titan Changers Optimus and Bumblebee and Super Bumblebee

Courtesy of Ozformers site owner Griffin, we now have in hand images of the Transformers Robots in Disguise Titan Changers Optimus and Bumblebee figures, whose first images were recently released.

Griffin picked these up, along with Super 3 step Bumblebee in Hong Kong and made a quick gallery showing the alt modes (for the first time) and how the figures look like at different angles. He also compares them to other figures to show the scale. Below is a quick comment from Grffin as well as the images he took:

The huge Super 3-step Bumblebee was at a number of Toyfairs earlier this year, while the transforming Titans were shown at the Australian Toyfair.

Now they are out in Hong Kong, here are some photos for people to know what they will be missing... as I don't think there will be many of us older collectors getting these.

The "transforming Titans" originally had me thinking of the Elite Actionmasters (a simple conversion of a non-converting line), but these are better than those... but not by much.
They don't actually have "Titan" on the packaging anywhere... but it was what they were labelled as at Toyfair... so maybe it is on the master cartons.

All three could do with more paint apps too, as there is a whole lotta yellow on plain colors on these, and not much sculpting/texture to the panels to make it look more interesting.

Dude... That SUPER GIANT Bumblebee will make kids go crazy for sure! He's way better looking than his AOE counterpart, and it does have lights and sounds!

I have a coworker who have a young son. The wee one is a big BB fan. That toy will blow his mind!

As for the "transformable shampoo bottles", they better sell for 10$, not more.

This is the first Optimus in the line where you can tell where the trailer starts and the truck ends.

At least these Titan Changers can transform unlike their petroleum wasting counterparts. >:oP

It's funny, the instructions for both say 4 steps, but Bumblebee clearly only has 2. The first is putting him on the ground and the 4th is doing NOTHING:

Also, I am surprised no one has made fun of the missing paint apps yet.

I gotta say, I was expecting way worse from those Titan Changers. They're not super-premium quality or anything, but they're decent-looking for budget figures. If they're cheap enough and someone interesting shows up in a future wave (I seem to recall hearing they'd do one of these for Steeljaw, but I may be mistaken), I'll bite.

They can put all the lipstick they want on these Titan line pigs, I still ain't buyin' ;)

Some kids will go nutzo for them, no doubt.

I'll stick to buying my niece TFs that will challenge her brain and aren't huge wastes of petroleum. If they put shampoo in these I'd consider it...

Cool for kids. Real nice, basic toys.
I find the amount of 'waste of petroleum' comments hilarious.
Planets finite resource.
Being used to make a plastic toy that will not further the progress or health of the natural planet. It's being wasted to begin with technically making toys in the first place...
We have about 10 years of peak petroleum use in manufacturing and then begins the projected decline of another resource. And then I should imagine toy quality will properly drop or at least become pricier.
If people really, sincerely gave a shit about petroleum use in toy production - outside of personal wants for toys, then we probably wouldn't be on here...

Anyhoo, these new RID figures clearly are not aimed at the collectors market so i'll skip but that really big 'bee does look impressive at that size.

Technically, they are correct in the use of "waste of". You are referring to the use of "wasting". Although most native speakers may use both interchangeably, both forms have different functions.

e.g.

1/ This was a waste of time.

In the above, the adverbial, "waste of (time)", is used to suggest that an undefined amount of a resource ("time") is being wasted. It does not suggest that "time" is limited.

2/ This is a waste of a limited resource.

This use of the complement, "limited resource", is more coherent, as it clearly states that (something) is limited.

Obviously, there is a difference in inferrence here, but the original writer may not have implied that plastic was limited, but merely that the toys were a waste of said plastic, regardless of the amount available.

I would hope human beings of all things would be aware that time is limited and not have to be constantly told that it is.

This. I don't understand the extreme, all or nothing viewpoint... yes, all toys are a waste of petroleum, but some engage children with entertainment and educational values. That's like saying in order to be eco-friendly you must live in the forest in a treehouse, or supportive of animal rights you have to be a strict vegan who doesn't eat Jell-O or honey.
These are shitty toys, and the plastic could have been used for other things. They shelfwarm hardcore, and besides a very limited market of 2-year-olds, I can't see anybody buying these except for out-of-touch grandmas for their grandson who would rather have leader Megatron.

Bah. Checked two Kmarts over the last couple days. One only had RID Legion figures and leftover AOE stuff, no peg space for anything else aside from Rescue Bots. The other store had nothing Transformers related at all outside of Rescue Bots. I guess that's one less place I need to look for Transformers at. I was just looking for Warriors Prime and Grimlock anyway. I can get them at Walmart or Target, but the price was worth checking.

Oh well, we should be getting May Mayhem sales this week so hopefully we get a new HTS code that isn't specific to Combiner Wars.

Our old Seibertronian pal Chuck has some new reviews for us: Legion Class Underbite and Fixit

The Legion figures from RID continue to roll along with Underbite and Fixit. While both aren't the best a Legion toy can be, Underbite has a solid vehicle mode, while Fixit has a very expressive robot mode. Overall if I had to recommend one go with Underbite as One-Step Fixit is the better overall representation of the character.

Time is a flat circle.

Fellow Seibertronian Reluctantyouth was kind to let us all know that the latest, and quite anticipated, Transformers Robots in Disguise figures are now available on Amazon. Of course, they are all eligible for Prime (ha!) and while this initial offering may be limited and sold out by the time you read this, make sure to bookmark the links in anticipation for an eventual restock. Good luck!
