A+++ to you for an awesome haul.
Magnus is a great figure in his own right (not counting him being armor for OP). I love the crazy proportions and the wierd hands that look like thug gloves. Blue Bolt is a little useless but it's still pretty awesome.
Dreadwing is definitely the best colored version of that mold. Spooky.

RiD Ultra Magnus is definitely interesting at least. I like the figure, it's not the prettiest robot but details like the "thug gloves" are things I like. I really like the alt mode.
Energon Dreadwing is just a great figure. The mold is gorgeous. I have heard about people talk about its relatively difficult/finicky transformation design so I can't wait to give it a crack.
Cybertron Unicron is a nifty mold for sure. I love the look of the design in both alt and robot mode. I don't know the fiction behind the character/figure but I'd like to think of it as Unicron's "escape pod body". Now that I have the figure in hand...it strikes me how perfect it would be as a sort of "G2 styled Galvatron". Kind of like how G2 Megatron received a tank alt mode redesign. The shoulder cannon placement also reminds me of G2 Megatron. Repaint Cybertron Unicron, retool the head sculpt, and BAM, you have a G2 Galvatron with a Cybertronic tank alt mode.

I missed out on the RID Ultra Magnus, might try and pick up a loose complete one to combine with my RID Prime.

RiD Ultra Magnus is very cool. I love the alt mode. It feels like what the Classics Ultra Magnus could have been had it gotten its own mold and not been a repaint of Classics OP.
In photos of the figure, I was kind of leery of the odd proportions, mainly the body being dominated by loooooonnnnngggggg legs. However, in person, I don't mind it at all. I love the arms, especially the forearms, which kind of make UM look a bit like Popeye.
The main drawback is the back heavy nature of the robot mode. This is compounded by the largely hollow legs, which don't offer the greatest support. The torso is a bit hollow too. Overall, the figure feels hefty and its stature is impressive but the hollowness of the figure makes it feel a bit flimsy if you don't hold it a certain way. I can forgive these design issues considering that RiD UM is largely designed to to combine with RiD OP.
I can't wait for RiD OP to arrive so I can try it out and combine it with UM.
Actually, should there ever be a future "Classics" type of update of RiD UM and OP, I think it would be very cool. Take the original designs and improve upon them, at least in the toy design, specifically UM to be a more substantial stand alone figure.

They should update RID OP, mine is all wobbly in his robot mode and I think his electronics broke.

I found a Costco(?) exclusive 2-pack of RiD Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus in Cybertron packaging. I was very tempted to get it, but somehow, despite the toy being MISB, the chrome on the Autobot insignia is fading. The other visible chrome parts look fine, so is this a known factory defect?

Freedom is the right of all sentient MISBeings.

RiD OP is wobbly in robot mode? Dang, UM is the same way, though very solid in alt mode.

TFA Deluxe Snarl
(this one didnt ring up properly and cost me $7.99 vs the $11.99 it was tagged at. Score!)
TFA Voyager Blitzwing
(passed up buying him once, didnt make the same mistake twice)
TFA Voyager Grimlock
(first time actually seeing him in a store and didnt wanna miss it)
total for all 3 was just over $50. Not bad IMO

RID OP is either original factory flaw or that his feet component doesn't stay-in too well.
