Here's a pic of Clampdown correctly assembled:

Looks much better, IMO.

Question on RiD 2015 Warrior class Bumblebee: Is there a trick to getting his sword to click in where it's supposed to in vehicle mode? Or is it one of those it's supposed to fit but actually doesn't?

Only one side has the holes for the tabs to peg into so if it's not fitting one way turn it over. Hope that helps.

Drift looks like he won't even stand on his own feet, WTH!

If you are talking about Warrior Drift, he is pretty awesome. He can stand on one foot.
Go back to the top of page 44 to see.

Got Warrior Drift and Prime today. Drift is great and probably my favorite in the line so far, though I still really do like Warrior Bee. Prime is ok, I really like the transformation despite the simplicity but the truck mode is disappointingly brick-like (maybe a cab swivel and the feet actually folding in would help). Bot mode is good on him for the size, though articulation isn't the best. Would have loved to see this design with even a Generations Voyager's budget. Guess it's not too late for that by any means, but no sign of that so far.

Official Images of Robots in Disguise Legion Class Fixit and Underbite have been posted along with the toys' listings at online retailer Toywiz. This is the second figure that will be released for both of these characters who were only available as one step figures so far. The website states that these will be shipping in April. Mirrored images can be found below.

DARN! I just picked up flippy step fix-it. Legion would be better suited next to the warrior class figures. Oh well, One step is still kinda fun. First one Ive ever picked up. It's neat and cute how the mechanism works. It's funny, the paint apps on the legion look nicer.

Aaaaand we're waiting for this Fixit.

*sigh* We're never getting a big Underbite, are we? It's Prime Insecticons all over again.

It's a shame because I all the Decepticons thus far, but do far only Steeljaw is getting the Warrior treatment.

i still dont see why we need one steps when we have legions, they are easy to transform but still look amazing & have playability. Im not a fan of RiD but the legions have looked pretty damn good so far and the few ive picked up have been great. I say hasbro should scrap the one steps & put that money into making the remaining lines better.

Agreed. More Cyberverse PLEASE!

I hate to say it but those legion figures don't look good, especially compared to the one-step changers. Both look to have weak vehicle modes that aren't going to be stable at all.

I was just Transforming my Warrior Bumble Bee and his head popped off into it's two pieces. I pegged it back together just fine, and noticed it seems like there should be a screw there.

Could anyone who has him look at the back of his head and tell me if yours has a screw holding the two halves together?

I don't want to work through all of these pages, sorry, too many without knowing where to look.

But I do have a couple of questions:
1)Are we getting Deluxe (Warrior now, right?)scale version of the guy with antlers (name escapes me), Underbite, Bisk and Hammerstrike?

2)Is this toy line exclusively huge 3-step changers, Deluxes, 1-step changers and legions? Are we getting Voyagers?

From what we've seen and heard from recent announcements:

1) Most of the Decepticons that get toys are going to be legions or one-steps. There's a bigger toy for Fracture, but it appears to mainly serve a Minicon launching gimmick.

2)Those do appear to be the size ranges. Voyagers are comparable to 3-steps with little to no articulation.

So from all that, it appears that Warrior class is the most complicated they're going to get, which is a shame because I'd love to have a poseable big Grimlock or Underbite to scale with the others.

Seriously? That is lame. These Decepticon designs are some of the most exciting designs I have seen in a long time. They just click with me, and I want decent toys because I have to be increasingly picky for my budget and space concerns.

I feel like this toyline, without a full cast of warrior class Decepticons, is going to see very little of my money. I have Steeljaw and he is one of the most fun toys I have had in ages.

Nuc Convoy,
I totally agree with you on the Decepticon thing. Their designs are just killer. I am really hoping for more Con Warrior Class toys. Especially, Thunderhoof (antler guy).
If you get the chance though, check out Drift. He's really cool.

Looks like the decent toy budget went to Combiner Wars this year. Which is an amazing line, don't get me wrong, but it seems to be consolidating anything with even vague complexity.

I just hope RID isn't in for another round like AoE, with almost no Decepticons, entire subsections devoted to simpler, gimmicky designs and doomed to be pegwarming for months on end.

Well while Age of Extinction didn't have much to offer as far as Decepticons to make toys out of, RID actually does. And wasn't the entire point of creating the Decepticons, back in the 80s, to give kids people for their good guy toys to fight with? Is that not appealing anymore?

I saw Drift, I think he looks really good but the colours aren't terribly appealing. On twitter I saw an amazing repaint of RID2015 Drift in -- can I call him G1? -- Comic book Drift colours and it looked amazing. The mold has potential for certain.

I also think I may get Grimlock. I'm not entirely sold on his design, but it looks to be both fun and solid, and I can always not call him Grimlock. Think we'll get a redeco in G1 colours?

It's a serious shame to hear that there are no plans for more Warrior class Decepticons. The autobots in this line so far barely manage budge my interest-o-meter. But the 'cons send that needle flying *schwing*

Once I figured out how to get Steeljaws elbows to fully click into place he hasn't left my desk. So damned dynamic. He reminds me, because of the claw weapons, colourscheme, and the sci-fi truck design, of Cybertron Brushguard -- and that is one of my favourite little guys, so nostalgia factor is good -- but this toy, Steeljaw, is amazing. Like 300% improved. Bigger, better articulation, no giant missile tube sticking out of his back (I know its for idiot proofing the toys, but still, why must these missiles be SOOOOO long all the gtime).

If they could make Warrior-class toys of the entire Decepticon cast they would guarantee more pirchases from me -- and in Toronto these guys are priced at 19.99 for a Warrior at TRU. Just let that sink in a minute. Generations was 16.99, Combiner Wars is 17.99 and RID2015 is 19.99 for the same "size-class". This is breaking my toy buying heart.
