Action Robo's facebook page has posted an image of their new stock which includes the recently revealed redecos for Bumblebee and Grimlock. 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.

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!

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

They totally should've called that new deco of Sideswipe Red Alert, tho.

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.

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.

I will probably put sharpie on either just the rims or just the tires so I can have either:

Black rims but yellow tires.

or

Yellow rims and black tires.

Which one do you think is better guys?

Re: New Image of Robots in Disguise Gold Grimlock and Night Ops Bumblebee (1694764)

That's what I was thinking.

But here in Canada some car stores
stores/garages sell colored tires believe it or not.

Not a huge amount of them but they exist.

Was going to say the same thing. I guess it's looking a little more bronze than usual, but I'd rather have this than cheap yellow chrome.

And that said, this is definitely the Robot Gojira I've been waiting for.

Wow, those yellow tyres really make that Bumblebee look like a poundstore knock off.

The Grimlock is hugely improved with the new colour scheme and the only one of the RID figures I'd be even remotely interested in buying (though the dino mode looks bit too goofy)

If the alternative is figures that crumble to pieces in five years then I'll take the butterscotch.

Oh, right, totally forgot I saw Jazz and Sideswipe at Walmart last weekend. They're definitely out there.

Would you settle for the one step? That's the only other class with that deco confirmed so far.

Posted by MrBlack on June 5th, 2015 @ 8:30am CDT

I actually like the new Bumblebee, yellow tires and all. My one big problem with Bumblebee toys is that he is usually cast in a very pale yellow which tends to look cheap and which makes any lack of detailing very apparent. The color swap actually fixes that problem.

If I see him on sale, I'd consider grabbing him.

That's how the Dinobot mode looks in the show.

I think Green and black is better then the boring grey and gold colors that people love for whatever reason.

Grimlock's gold looks exactly like a common LEGO color called Pearl Gold. Just thought I'd bring that up.
Also not only are Bumblebee's sprues reversed, but his paint masks are too :lol:

Only in car mode. Surprisingly the new figure has a new pattern on his chest and they painted more of his upper arms than they did the original.

RID Sideswipe is up for pre order on HTS.

I know he's gotten some bad reviews, but I figured I would share anyway.

I saw him today at a random TRU and he does look really good in person. I didn't pick him up because of the negative press though. I do like his look (except the spikey hair) I'll wait for a sale and leave him in alt mode.

I did however pick up Jazz. :grin:

With exception of his hair I think he looks great and I dig his alt mode. I believe it was Chuck who said he doesn't stay together well in robot mode when moving his arms around.

He does have a neat way to store his sword on his back too. I was disappointed to hear he is all fiddly though. Well if the price is right, money talks.

Why the hell aren't we getting any new waves or toys yet? (Apart from Warrior Class Sideswipe ect...& then some bloody repaints of figures we've already had!) coz i've watched nearly all(bar the final episode....still waiting for that one) of season 1...& there's lots of characters in those episodes that we haven't heard of the toy release for yet...like Filch, Springload, Nightscream, Groundpounder, Quillfire, Bisk, Chop Shop, Octopunch, Terrashock, Ped, Hammerstrike, Malodor, Vertebreak, Headlock and Razorpaw.
