How does Fixit fix stuff with drills for hands? Wish they were swappable.

Also, I was really on board for Drift, but that pic doesn't make him look very good...I may have to rethink getting him.

He has hands.

You're image that you took from TFormers doesn't work. TFormers doesn't allow hotlinking, which is taking an image from one site and embedding it onto another.

Thanks! I just took the same picture from a more reliable site :DANCE:

and edited the posts accordingly to keep the same conversation flow. I hope we can see it now.

There have been no sightings that I am aware of. If you happen to see it again, take a picture and send it to sightings@seibertron.com. Warriors is the new RiD term for deluxe class.

That would be the One-Step Sideswipe you saw. Warrior Class is the name for the Deluxe-sized figures, though not necessarily as complex as Generations. As of now, these figures should be out:

One-Step Changers (laying packaging)
Bumblebee
Sideswipe
Strongarm
Underbite

Hyperchange Heroes (3-Steps)
Bumblebee
Grimlock

Legion (standing packaging)
Bumblebee
Optimus Prime
Steeljaw
Strongarm

Warrior Class
Bumblebee
Grimlock
Steeljaw
Strongarm

The animation model has hands, I was referring specifically to the toy. I wish the toy had hands.

Hard pass on everything in this line. I guess I'll keep to the Generations and Masterpiece threads this year. :-(

I don't think the toy could "fix stuff", like you asked, even if it did have hands.

sigh. I'm just not into this line. I may get steeljaw because...I mean...werewolf, but I'm not feeling the rest. Maybe the decepticons. I like the predeconish look of them.

I'll get a Prime because I collect them but I may pass on this line.

What's up with the fist covers on Optimus?! That's some awful engineering right there.

I whole-heartedly encourage your instincts about Steeljaw.

I am all for it too. I will be sure to get all the decepticons that come out though I doubt we will be getting many since few seem main.

It's part of the simplified design, like that you dont need to add complexity like a pop out fist or hide to even more in alt mode (similarly to Prime Kup). Movie Voyager Hound had it too.

I'd also recommend Warrior Grimlock. He's chunky and brawny like Grimlock should be, but he's also got good proportions, articulation and an addictive transformation.

Based on snapshot of the Optimus 1 step figure: 'Wow it's hot out today! Maybe this weird orange FAN will help keep me cool!'

So they've turned him into G1 Motormaster, eh? His trailer turned into his body as well. Well.... good luck to 'em....

Nah, more like Star Convoy. Look him up

i'm hoping for a voyager or leader class of the Optimus :KREMZEEK:

If by "Voyager" you mean "3-step Changer with worse articulation than smaller toys", then probably.

Oh, I WANT that warrior class Optimus! Especially if he'll be in scale with cyberverse figures, considering that the trailer is part of the bot. At worst, he'll be one more deluxe Optimus to add to my collection that represent another universe.

I just noticed this from the pics, it looks like Legion Sideswipe is going to have a waist joint. I find that interesting since I can't remember seeing a waist joint on a Legion figure before.

What one step figure? Do you mean his warrior class figure?

You probably wont be getting that.

I think you might be out of luck. I've yet to see any articulated offerings bigger than a deluxe that aren't just simplified jointless bricks (BB and GL). I'm not saying they can't happen, I'm just looking at what we have so far.

I picked up Warrior Class Strong Arm and Steel Jaw yesterday. Though I was on the fence about them initially, I am glad I got them. They are fun, easy to transform and fun to play with.
My only gripe is that the transformation instructions are on the card back itself as opposed to an insert. Not to sound to anal retentive, but it messes with my filing system. anyway, decent figures all around, and makes me want to pick up Bumblebee when I see him.
