Don't all of the "simplified" Movie 4 offerings fall under another "Robots in Disguise" branding as well? There's another to add to the confusion, lol!

Was going to pick up Sideswipe when I was there last week. Until they rung it up and wanted 12.99 for the thing. I literally laughed at that price and asked the cashier to remove it from my order. $7.99 to 12.99? Yeah, right.

Doing some last minute Santa-ing at Target, I found 1 last RID2015 Legions Steeljaw in a sea of AOE flippers and 1-stepers.
My point here is to show that TRU and others are out of their flippin' 1-steppin' minds charging $7.99 for a legions toy. Steeljaw was $5.99, $6.41 with tax at Target. Thats a price I can live with for these little guys.

I am going to wait this thing out like I did with Beast Hunters. Target Liquidated that line like there was no tomorrow.

RID, TURD, DAFT, whatever you want to call it, it's just not the best quality or that much of a draw for some of us. Just call it Transformers for kids and carry on.

TFKACO? Not sure it'll catch.

Because that line is so simplified and seem like a cross between Prime and Rescue Bots, how about:

:POWERPUFF:

RID Jr

Ok ok, the issue is in the pronunciation, for me.
When I'm typing, it's on forums or long posts, so no need for abbreviations and RID 2015 will do just fine if I have to. But out loud..

Muhtuhmtee is already fun to make fun of, AhrEyeDee was fine for the comics, will have to change, Ridjuhr is just, well. Ridjuhr.

Legion, 1 Step, Hyperchange, and Warrior Class RID line for 2015 are available for "Ship to Home" option from TRU now in the US. Just did a search and sorted by new.

Had not seen that mentioned anywhere as of yet. I know they are slowly popping up in store locally throughout the country.

Here's a piece of probably news for a Sunday - site sponsor RobotKingdom.com has uploaded a listing for Takara Tomy Transformers Robots in Disguise TAV07 Roadblock (remember that list of figures for the line we reported on a while back?). Available around March 2015, the very grainy image seems to confirm the list's Generations Scoop redeco, too - check it out below!

News Credits: 4835 · by **william-james88** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 7:53 am

It's totally Scoop. I am super curious about the deco they gave him (especially on the targetmasters).

interesting... wouldn't the Scoop mould be out of style compared to the other RID figures?

Regardless, if it's a cool deco, I'll probably pick it up - I quite like Scoop

by **griftimus prime** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 9:09 am

looks cool. but why does he have target masters?

Because they came with his Hasbro release maybe?

He would be quite a bit. Then again, he won't be the first foreign mold for the line as we have:

- TAV09 Swoop (Animated mold predicted)
- TAV10 Snarl (Animated mold predicted)
- TAV11 Knock Out (Beast Hunters mold predicted, unreleased in Japan)
- TAV12 Dreadwing (Beast Hunters mold predicted, unreleased in Japan)

Eagerly awaiting the decos on all of them, especially for Knock Out.
