You're the only person I've ever heard call it that. It's the manufacturer suggested retail price. Mean doesn't make sense since there are far more stores selling at or above MSRP than below it and the MSRP would be changing constantly. It's the price that the manufacturer believes a retailer can sell at to still turn a good profit, that's what makes the greed of TRU all the more infuriating.

Huh, is that so? Ok, I was wrong for once, but the point of the stores alone determining their prices still stands.

I wish those were smallers, like legion class, with that actual scale they feel dull

And that's not including the single tax Alberta has until they elect that prick Justin Trudeau for Prime Minister which would be a nightmare.



I remember back around the ROTF line where Deluxes were only around $15.00.



The Age of Extinction deluxes or more accurately the Hotshots ans Snarls are $10.00 at Walmart so there is some good news.




Voyagers are also $35.00

Don't know if anyone mentioned this before but Kmart.com has Gold Armor Grimlock in stock and, what surprised me, Hyperchange Thunderhoof also in stock. I do have to mention that I HIGHLY recommend not buying from Kmart online due to poor customer service, really poor customer service.

All these and not another new ? Steeljaw does not even get a repaint.

The only positive thing I can say is that I can save more $$$$$$$$$.

Kospego demands tribute!

The more I look at the pictures I gotta say, this is the best handling of his antlers yet.

Edit: Just in case anybody didn't feel like clicking the link.

Ya think that arm is mis-transformed?

Doubt it, it looks to rotate forward to about 90 degrees, so I think it just rests there; I will be getting the incredible legends class version, but continue to demand a satisfactorily poseable deluxe version.

WHAT?!?!?!?!?! Guess what Cobotron, you just got some NEWS Cred for giving us the link!

This came out of nowhere. Thanks to a whisper from Chuck and a link and images from Cobotron, we now have official images of 3-step Changer Thunderhoof from the Transformers Robots in Disguise line. These come to us from a new listing on Kmart and is priced at 19.99$ US. He is also in stock for shipping, making us wonder where he was hiding during SDCC.

What is very interesting about this release is that this is the very first Thunderhoof figure where his antlers in robot mode actually become the rake in vehicle mode as the original design and animation model intended. This gives me hope that the upcoming Warrior Class will also go this route. Images of the previous versions are available below for comparisons.

3 Step







1 Step




Legion

Three dumbed down kiddie figures but no standard deluxe figure yet for the character ? RID has been a total failure. The only decepticon to get a serious figure was steeljaw. All the rest have been legends, one steppers, three steppers, shampoo bottles, etc.

I gotta agree with this on the whole, piss and moan all you want about these 'being for kids', but it is kind of insulting, not to mention redundant to get almost every figure in both a 1-step and a 3-step, etc. Legends class Underbite and fixit were really nice (that does not mean that I don't still want a deluxe/voyager Underbite), so I'll discount legends from this; but as far as 'aimed at kids' lines go, the foreign simplified line has these beat by miles

I did good? I can haz cookie? Seriously though it looks like this figure transforms the same way as the one-step changer. Also as a reminder, DO NOT ORDER FROM KMART! That is all.

As an aside, the 3-step actually looks so much like the show model, it really is a shame it's such a worthless chunk of plastic, I probably would have gotten it, if it had standard articulation.

Well,it looks nice but I have to say that the legion is better.That being said,how about more warrior class s ?

That would be nice, after the trouble they went through to make each one a unique, colorful and memorable character, the least they could do would be to release them in a size class that isn't garbage (legion class still excluded) I mean, it's not like Prime, where they had a limited number of characters from the show, the first season of rid'15 had a new decepticon in almost every episode, and they were so interesting, and memorable (I stress this, because people buy what is either cool, or characters they know/remember and like)

Woah, really nice that the rake become the antlers without fake ones. However, these fake arms-windows would have been forgivable if they werent starring in your face so obviously in vehicle mode. Close, but no buy.

Also, I usually frown at the Rated X type complains about "waaaah toys for kids!". However, I find this very disapointing and baffling that such a series with so many amazing only have ONE of them in the "serious" warrior class. Come on Hasbro. Everyone, including kids, love the bad guys too. What all tose will do without any to fight? Sit in a corner and fap?

don't forget this is an official image, so it's likely they mistransformed it and those windows have a more reasonable place to be to blend in... in other news, Hasbro needs new photographers if they can't even transform a three step figure correctly.

That is why the Legion class version is better.No faux windows hanging around in alt mode.


BTW,I wonder whether this is mistransformed.Hopefully it is.

Fellow Seibertronian Madeus Prime has shared with us a review by YouTuber MightMouse74 of the first instance we've come across of the major antagonist in the Transformers: Robots in Disguise animated series, making their debut in the season finale: Megatronus! The figure is a five-step changer, Toys'R'Us Exclusive and part of the Clash of the Transformers subline, and can be seen in the embedded clip below.
