Same,but I would prefer TFP to this.The animation on prime was realistic.

The animation still has to convince me. From what I've seen, it's kinda rough. Maybe they'll...

fixit!

I hope so, but I'm not holding my breath. This is going to be a series where I like the toys but care little for the show I think.

That's a shame, because I bought TFP because I liked the show.

We're literally going to have to wait and see.

So this is the one-step. Yucky. So far the only design from this series I like is Strongarm.

Looks like Bumblebee (Warrior) and Fixit are the only two figures I have any interest in.

Why does Transformers Robots In Disguise TAV-02 Grimlock give us a picture of Strongarm?
Also, why would they blacken the Strongarm images when they appear in that listing I just mentioned?
Also, the blackened images contain a vehicle mode image with a turret at the top and it does not appear anywhere else.
Lastly, the black silouette of Strong arm at the top makes her look awesome.

FIxit is much more interesting of a toy than I thought, and I really like the vehicle molds. Oh and I did not find Drift anywhere.

I just hope Fixit is actually in scale with the others and not an excessively huge Warrior/One Step figure.

Is it just me or does this image of Warrior Grimlock have 2 different molds showing?

The toy at the bottom left looks nothing like the bigger image

I'm pretty sure that's just control art like the one on Fixit's preorder page.

Good one, sir. Good one.

Grimlock and Strongarm had their images switched.

The blackened one is "R Strongarm", a redeco of the regular Strongarm blackened out to hide its deco.

That's her robot mode gun. It can attach to the top of her vehicle mode via a little hole:

That was my first thought its Wheelie reborn. Hopefully he's not as annoying!

A Minicon Transformer Segway would be pretty slick; the ultimate disguise to shuttle tourist around touring a urban cityscape!

What does that have to do with the Robots in Disguise toys?

Haha, Sabreblade, I know I can always count on you! Oh and this explains another point someone had about why Grimlock would be fighting Strongarm. This could be another character or another version of the character that would create the animosity.

And yeah, that movie related news should go in the movie thread (where it might already be). Dont know if an admin should remove it from this thread.

What the heck is Fixit's vehicle mode supposed to me?

Looks like some sort of ATV-styled vehicle to me. I see handlebars and maybe four wheels.

There appear to be handlebars on the BACK, and little pointy bits that might be drills sticking out the front, plus I'm not entirely sure if there really are four wheels or if there's only two. Whatever it is, it's kinda weird.

fixit is like the love child of Gobot Scooter and Marvels H.E.R.B.I.E.

Or Beast Machines Rattrap and Armada Sureshock.

Maybe it's some futuristic "Neo-ATV" or something.

For some reason it makes me think of some sort of chariot... Well, actually my first thought was some sort of mechanized dogsled, but it has wheels and not runners.

Wait, Fixit looks like he has wheels on the insides of his arms/wrists, which would add to the wheel count to make four.

The placement of the handlebars (if they are handlebars) and those drills are really making this tricky to figure out.

Or maybe he's some kind of a drill-mounted lawnmower.

Looks like four wheels, but not enough to be sure.

And yeah, I'm with you, this one's confusing, hence why I had to ask.

You can say lawnmower, I'm sticking with chariot, if only because the idea of hooking him up to Grimlock amuses me.

He'd be a pretty small chariot. I think the dogsled idea is more comparable size-wise but, again, them drills.
