Whoa whoa whoa. Where did you hear that?
As it stands we have at least two more coming up: Fracture and "Megatronus". The rest seem to be either Legion or One-Step.
Based on looking through the Transformers RID app and what can be unlocked by scanning toys etc. then the decepticons all really have limited forms/modes whereas the Autobots all have way too damn many variations. Almost all of these are directly based on the design difference between size classes and are named after them.
If Warrior-class is the only "real" class of transformers toys we are getting (I am using "real" to indicate a certain level of complexity, detail and scale) then based on the way things are looking there won't be a significant amount of the con characters in that scale.
I'm not saying for certain, but it is looking that way. The "One-Step" toys actually feel like an insult to -- not only my adult self -- the entire reason i fell in love with Transformers as a kid. Through my life TF toys got more complex, more detailed etc. and these all look terrible, have seriously limited articulation etc. and, worst of all, don't teach any puzzle solving skills, its a push-button solution that really only has one way to move the parts. One-Step TFs are the antithesis of TFs IMO.
This line to me feels like it will be a major letdown when it has so much going for it as a design aesthetic and concept...
I love, love, love, love my Steeljaw warrior-class toy. I would buy every one of the Decepticon designs I have seen from RID2015 thus-far in this size class. But I would rather buy an actual brick than buy a 1-step TF.
