Transformers: Robots in Disguise Warriors Wave 1 Sighted at Irish Retail

Interesting....loved the size comparisons. About the size of the standard Generations lines of the last few years in vehicle mode, but perhaps more squat in robot mode.

Still not enough is cool about the toys themselves to interest me in this line. Strongarm is the only one I'll buy, and only because I collect fembot characters. Combiner Wars has all my money this next year.

Irish retail?

That is a first.

Since Age of Extinction's Robots in Disguise line: The One-Steps, Flip/Smash and Change, and Power Battlers had the instructions on the back of the card. Generations still had separate sheets, and it will remain that way (since Warrior Class is not part of Generations it seems).

He almost looks like he turns into the Thundertank.

What's wrong with a fembot being a cop?

Okay, That's the bit of info I didn't have; I did not know that Strongarm was a female character. Makes me wonder if she'll turn out to be a female counterpart to Prowl or something.

Anyway in my original statement, I was alluding to the fact that this has been a year rife with high-profile police brutality cases and a growing national outrage over it... I just thought that naming a Police vehicle "Strongarm" was a bad choice because it could be seen to support the overuse of force by police... but that's digging too deep and before I get severely flamed for this I'll retract the comment. I never meant to start anything...

I am glad that there's a solid Female character and that the character is an authority figure. The toys for this line keep getting more and more interesting...

I thought that's what you were alluding too. The currant state of affairs that is.
Your in the clear.

This Classics Mini-Con from 2006 had the same name, that's why she's named that: Hasbro likes to reuse names between similarly themed characters. It could be argued that the name is used figuratively ("The strong arm of the law"), not literally.

If we don't get a black redeco of Strongarm as this, it will be a massively missed opportunity.

I have seen nothing about this line so far that is even tempting me to consider buying any.

I'm not trying to be overly critical but I feel absolutely no excitement or curiosity about these toys.

And none of the usual Decepticons seem to be represented in the series at all. It says there's a 'prison ship' full of cons, and Bumblebee's team is just there to round them up like dogcatchers or something.

Without Megatron, or Galvatron, or heck even Starscream to lead them, then the cons won't seem like a significant or organized threat. It could be just episodes where a new con pops up, they run out and catch him, then go home for a beer or something.

I don't know about anyone else, but I watch Tformer shows to see the Decepticons as much as anything else.

Considering how many toys Steeljaw seems to be getting, and the fact that only leaders (and Bumblebee) get that many figures, it's pretty likely that he'll be the big bad for this show.
