Grimlock looks amazing but is still lacking a flame sword or any weapon for that matter.Bumblebee's yellow wheels kinda look like something from a prototype figure

Yeah, I thought you'd like that. I was happy myself. It looks similar to the colour on voyager grimlock.

Haven't seen you around Sir, so WELCOME!

Grims lack of sword bugs me too. Not so much on the green original, but a swordless G1 looking Grim is just wrong. I'm also toying with the idea of buying a second OG Yellow BB so I can do a tire switch with this new black repaint :-?

Sword? Grimlock don't need no stinkin' weapon. Grimlock himself IS a stinkin' weapon! :P

Grimlock doesn't have a sword in the show he just uses his strength (since their not killing cons just capturing them)

Here's something I don't quite understand...

At a Walmart in Omaha NE, I found all of wave 1 and 2 RID Legions in the clearance isle. They also had RID Titan (shampoo bottles). What I don't get is that these are current toys. The regular TF section was pretty bleak. A few Combiner Wars W1 Voyagers, A few W2 CW deluxes, 1 of each Leader Megs, 4 or 5 Warrior class RID and some 1 steps. A ton of AOE 1 steps, deluxes, and voyagers. But most of all, empty pegs!
Why are these legions on clearance? Why aren't the AOE toys on clearance? Was this a mistake? My mind is sufficiently boggled, and disappointed that I already bought all of these at full price.
If you're at Wally Town, might be worth a trip down the clearance isle. Who knows you might find Leader Ultra Magnus, or Devastator.

Well, this picture looks significantly less terrible than the last one. Still not as awesome as the app colour scheme made it seem to be, but I may get this. I'm now torn, because I have G1 Grimlock and the Animated Dinobots and that G1 colour palette, while classic, is not true to this character (unless he changes in the toon) and I'm trying to limit my purchases to characters not represented in my collection or that I am not satisfied with the toy I have of them. ...

Thoughts?

Wait for a heavy discount. If by then he sells out before, no worries you wont have an extra unecessary toy in your collection. If he doesnt, hurray you got him at a discount and thus you have more funds to buy figures that have a greater importance to your collection. That is how I handle my collection and it has never failed me.

While these are still in package images, the fact that these are not stock images gives us a better idea at the color the toys will have in hand, especially for Grimlock who's chest color was a point of contention so far.

Bronzy! Awww, and I was looking forward to some Marty McGrimlock time traveling antics.

Anyway, looking sharp there Grims. Hasbro is pulling my wallet in two directions and they need to stop :-x

Autobase Aichi has posted an in-hand comparison gallery of Transformers Robots in Disguise Gold Armor Grimlock and Night Ops Bumblebee! Bumblebee has a history of getting redone in black and Grimlock has a history of... well looking G1, and these repaints deliver on both counts. As we've recently reported, Grimlock appears to be sporting not quite gold but not the orange originally seen either. Instead it appears to be favoring the bronze flavor that his Age of Extinction counterpart had. See for yourself down below, and stay tuned to Sebertron.com for all your Transformers News!

Grim looks good, I can get over the lack of detailing on the arms. Maybe I'll get him as a mini me for my FOC grimmy, he can sit on his shoulder!

Okay, so it looks like the reason Black Bee's wheels are yellow is because they literally just switched which molds they poured the black and yellow plastics into. Since the black wheels were previously on the same sprue as Bee's other black parts, when you make those parts yellow, the wheels go with them.
