Drift is a fantastic figure and probably the best RID figure released thus far. One thing that impressed me right away was the swords being made of a solid, stiff plastic; after all these years it's nice to have melee weapons that aren't bent right out of the package! Something that you may not be expecting is an added horizontal wrist joint that allows for some more dynamic sword poses, while it's nice I would have preferred a vertical joint for better sword pointing. All in all this is a better figure than Prime and I would recommend picking it up first.

The commercial features Hyperchange Bumblebee, who's gallery can be seen here, and One Step Steeljaw, who will soon be released.

And I'm happy with Strongarm. If I'm that easy to please, Drift will...

By space do you mean the piece of paper they are printed on? The state of instructions lately, has me really bamboozled.chuckdawg1999 wrote: I mention it in the review but I've been thinking about it a lot; what if they combine steps, and skip mentioning weapons storage because the instructions HAVE to fit in that space?

Agreed. Even worse, my TRU in canada sells the warrior class for 20$ now while they still sell the generations deluxes for 18$.

I have to agree with internet personality and Youtube God Vangelus when he said that these figures are not worth $20. I paid more than that to get them early for reviews but even then it's a 50/50 chance I'll make the money back, down the line.
After the Wave 1 RID Legion figures left me a touch flat, I was hoping that Grimlock and Sideswipe would really wow me. While the paint details and overall design is top notch. They just didn't grab me. Sideswipe is your standard car design but the paint is the same metallic red that was found on Legends Windcharger. Grimlock has an inventive transformation that takes it cues from the Warrior figure, but comes off very stiff. Overall I recommend going for the Wave 2 Warriors before these Legion figures.
