I know they're simplified kiddy toys, but I really hope Hasbro makes the entire RID cast at Hyperchange/3-Step scale. That was the only other thing keeping me from buying the AOE Flip and Change figures, aside from them all being floppy messes.

What's wrong with the Warriors ("Deluxes")? The Three-Step figure are Voyager-sized you know?

Actually according to Ryan these are a little bigger at about the same height as MP Grimlock.

What I didnt understand about the statement asking for the whole cast in this class was that they would all still be out of scale. Since easier transformations dont bother you, I would suggest getting Grimlock in the hyperchange scale (and maybe Optimus too) and then the appropriate characters in warrior class.

Thats not mid transformation. He's a triple changer. That's his Thomas the Steam Engine mode.

note: this comment does not imply disdain for these toys' "kiddyness". I'm all for kids toys being for kids.
and kids love trains.

[shajaki]

anyone else think its odd that they have shots of alt mode, mid transformation, and no bot mode?

[welcometothedarksyde]

Boy for a dead guy he's sure getting alot of toys

[Lockdownhunter]

I like it.Definitely getting a TFA Optimus vibe.Also,does this truck scream Rodimus Prime to you?

Just look at the spoiler on the back of the vehicle.Yes,Rodimus all right.

Thanks again William-James 88!!!!!!You really are the most helpful Seibertronian other than Burn.

But of course, and Thomas isn't nearly as kiddie as its show's current seasons would lead one to believe.

He'll be doing some shenanigans with the Original Primes in the afterlife.





Wait. No! Not like that!

Makes me think more of a solid red and blue Star Convoy, what with the small cab integrated into the very large trailer:

Note that I didn't say class, I said scale. They don't all have to be at the same price point, just the same approximate scale. Fixit, for example, would be either a large-ish Legion or a very small Deluxe. And the Hyperchange Grim is way, way too big for the Warrior figures. Grimlock, based on the clips we've seen, is only about two heads taller than Bumblebee.
It would be pointless anyways, since the entire reason I like these things is because they're big, chunky, and, most importantly, fun action figures that aren't extremely fiddly. They're like modernized G1 figures. Using the Deluxes just ruins the whole point of it.

Overquoting to say that Hyperchange Grimlock also have the most original and clever transformation I've ever seen on a Grimlock toy so far. And that include the MP.

[munkimus prime]

His Vehicle mode kind of reminds me of the Action master Prime vehicle for some reason, I don't know if I'll get him or not. I'll have to wait and see What happens.

[ScottyP]

Actually according to Ryan these are a little bigger at about the same height as MP Grimlock.

I can't speak for Bumblebee, but that is not even close to accurate for Grimlock. MP Grimlock has a full inch and a half on the Hyperchange one in height, not to mention heft where they don't even compare. In Dino mode, MP Grimlock absolutely dwarfs the RiD Hyperchange T-Rex. In T-Rex mode it's close to a dead match size wise for AoE Voyager Grimlock, and the robot mode feels like the old Ultra Class without as much general bulk.

That's the only RiD toy I have thus far, and I do not regret getting him one bit, for exactly that reason. The legs are especially fresh and clever.

And the fact that he looks like Godzilla in dino mode doesn't hurt, either.

As expected from TRU.

[SlyTF1]

I went to TRU today they had RID Strongarm. I bought her, but I wasn't expecting them to have these out so early. Strongarm was the only one I saw, though. They did have the one step changing Sideswipe and that purple dinosaur guy. I didn't even bother to look at his name.

[Ultra Markus]

saw the whole lot of them at toys r us the other day , looked like they had plenty to go around
but mostley out on everything else!

[TimothyR]

$17 for $10 figures.. gotta love it.

10$ is NO LONGER the normal price point of deluxes for the US market. Get over it.

[griftimus prime]

bbts has better prices than this. this is really bad. going to wait til i see them in store or on hts

[reluctantyouth]

I have the first full wave of Warrior class figures for this line. Do not waste your money at $16.99 a piece. I can say Bumblebee and Grimlock are decent, but forget Strongarm and Steeljaw. I wish I could get my money back. They will be donated to St. Jude at the hospital I work at after Christmas.

St. Jude does great work here in my area, but they do not get very many boy toy donations for therapy and such when the kids come. My St. Jude social worker and therapist love the Transformers as they are easy to disinfect and share among the kids. If your collection is getting a little heavy and you'd like to see the figures go to some very appreciative kids in need...I cannot recommend donation enough. I've been doing it for years.

[Counterpunch]

Strongarm is just a disappointing sack of hollow nothingness.

[Sabrblade]

Why are people surprised to see TRU hiking up their prices? It's what they do!
