In-Hand Images - Transformers Robots in Disguise Warriors Wave 1: Bumblebee, Strongarm, Grimlock, Steeljaw

one thing i really dig, is the sharp edges of bee's car mode.

You know, for all the crap he's getting I really must say that this warrior Grimlock has the best tail to legs transformation I have ever seen in all the Grimlocks. It's the only one where the tail shows no sign of becoming feet (cough cough FOC) while having nice distinct robot legs in robot mode with distinct feet.

so much lame

I find so few things appealing about this line.

That Grimlock would be great if he was Voyager or larger.


The others are ok for what they are I suppose. The line definitely isn't for me though.

Why must such a kickass sword belong to such a bad-looking figure? If I were to get Bee, it would only be for the sword.

I was hopeful of Strongarm, but these images are starting to turn me away. Her character model looks athletic-ish; her figure is Chunky McBeefcakes. Me no like. I guess I'll wait for what reviewers will have to say before making a final call.

I wasn't going to get Grimlock no matter what, but I will say he looks the best of the bunch.

Jesus H. Christ, what a train wreck Steeljaw shouldn't be. He and Strongarm were the only ones I was going to get... But good God, I can strike Steeljaw off that list and put a question mark by Strongarm.

Jesus, that's disappointing. I saw Strongarm and was thinking "You know, aside from that lame "burst effect" on her gun she looks pretty neat!" and was seriously considering adding her to my ranks (more fembots is always good) but dear god is she hollow! I mean, that's Poundland tier awful looking...a shame as the design is actually quite cool, and I dig the figure from the front and in vehicle mode, but from the back and under the vehicle...Poor Strongarm.

Steeljaw actually looks kinda cool though, and looks a lot less hollow. I mean yeah he's spindly but he looks less like he's trying to pretend to be solid whilst actually being a flimsy shell, instead embracing full-on wiryness.

Steeljaw looks like he is pooping out his tail.

I don't mind the figures themselves, they look fun in both vehicle and robot modes. What I do mind are the price points these are supposed to retail at...these do not look like they're worth the 15.99 (or approximately similar) price tag.
If they were 9.99, I could be more inclined to pick them up. As it is now I will probably wait for them to just go on sale.

I am looking forward to seeing more of Drift. And I like the repaint possibilities of some of the figures like Grimlock, which would be cool to see painted as Overkill.

them figures look nice

my opinions

Grimlock should have been a Voyager class

no complaints on strong arm or bumblebee

i hope Optimus gets a Voyager treatment with Good articulation

i could see Bisk getting the deluxe treatment with a similar arm movement at Armada Deluxe class Sideswipe or a retool of P-rid Cliff-Jumper

All of these look like they woild benefit greatly from some paint. I'm interested to see what customizers can do with these. I will probably not be getting these myself, though.

Yup, paint would work wonders on these guys.

When Bumblebee goes on clearance, I'll get him just to get that bitchin' sword.

I have no interest in the others, not even Strongarm right now.

Gonna get Strongarm, easy buy for me.

Steeljaw looks like a mess, but I kind of like the design, so he's a maybe. They'd better make a Bisk figure if they're making Steeljaw.

The rest don't interest me.

or takara

I like how wolfish Steeljaw's car mode is. Grimy has a nice robot mode.
Not feeling this line though. Might check out some legions, just because I like that scale.

How much you wanna bet Strongarm was designed as a male character, but somebody decided to make her a female bot?

You know, kinda like Airazor, Blackarachnia, Overrun from Cybertron...

I really hope Strongarm gets a Smallfoot repaint with a new head and for it not to be an exclusive.

I really dig Steeljaw's vehicle form, very badass. Bumblebee looks just like a chunkier version of PRID Vehicon. Grimlock sucks because he's not the real Grimlock. Strongarm I'm going to pickup because my fembots need some more members.

Well, I thought TFA figures would be awful when I first set eyes on them, but now they're among my favorites. I'll give these a chance. But initial first impression is: Not so good...

Has there been any mention of this line having Voyagers yet? I'd be all in for Grimlock if he were to get a bigger toy, but as is he's just too puny.

So far, only the first two waves of Warrior class (new Deluxe) figures have been announced. Nothing on there being a Voyager class.

Bummer.


Thanks man.

So funny... Just scrolling through the pictures and that is the first thing that came to mind... Uhhhh custom! Even take Bumblebee's head off and replace it with something else... Starting to sound like Dr. Frankenstein...
Seconding the whole waiting for these to hit clearance shelf. Thats what seemed to happen to the last bit of Transformers Prime. I am going to guess that the AOE Clearance will be happening in the next few months also.

skipping these unless something mind blowing comes from them in a voyage scale, the Combiner Wars are however already pre-ordered on BBTS. Just grabbing Superion and Mensor

Just because the RID15 Grimlock isn't like the past versions doesn't mean he isn't a Grimlock. He still has a lot of elements that makes him the same character we know which the toy even has the almost same transformation scheme of the original G1 toy. They're just doing a new direction for him like how Optimus in TFA is different from the other versions yet till has the important elements of the character. Besides the original 2001 RID Grimlock was just a nameslap which is even further from the Grimlock we know.

Not gonna lie... I kinda wanna see someone do Grimlock up in Cyborg's colours from Teen Titans...

I've thought this myself, but she is rather busty, and has a sweet face. I like that she isn't overly feminine. She is a warrior and built as such. Not to say skinny girls can't wope arse, I'm just all about that bass.

I think Airazor was always intended to be female. Japanese love their super heroins.

Give it time.

i wonder what TFCC has in store for them

Grim-lock could possibly be used as a new figure for either G1 or SG or Overkill, ripper-snapper

Bumblebee- possibly retool it for Armada Hotshot in either Energon Or Cybertron Flavors ( hard time thinking what the mold could be used for)

Strong arm i have no clue to use the mold for. Over-haul maybe with some retooling and give it the blades from steel jaw

steel Jaw - my head hurts now

Guys, would you like some cheese with your whine?

Sheesh, yeah, that line is kid friendly, get over it. We collectors have the whole Generations line, Platinums, and MP. So, let Timmy have his TFs.

I kinda like these figures. They are like a mix of Prime, Animated, and Rescue Bots. Also, these seem to be of a decent size for deluxes. The only thing I find odd are the faction symbols that are huge with a ring of random writing around.

good point .

someone should repaint steeljaw in wolverine colors that would look badass

Looks like they're pulling an Angry Birds Transformers on this one: you get the figure, download some app, scan their symbols with whatever device you're using, and you can play as the character whose toy you just bought.

Well..... The Alt Modes are really boss!

they can be scanned by a smart device, and have some sort of interactivity with game play.
I think.

You know what I DO like. the instructions are printed on the back of the card.
takes me back to Beast Wars.
... and Kenner, R.I.P.

It's clearly going to get remolded into a Vehicon. Look at the transformation and chest design guys. If this series is in the same universe as Prime, you can expect, for cost purposes, there to be disposable genericons that are basically repaints of another character.

I actually got to agree, it's nice to see a fembot that isn't model thin and sneaky looking like Arcee or Blackarachnia. I think Strika was a bit overkill though if you ask me.

not interested in any of these, grimlocks robot mode looks cool but the alt mode & coloring suck & steeljaw has a cool head & alt mode but the robot mode is terrible.

Those forearms though... they're the one thing thats really killing the mold for me.

Well, they look good, as far as I'm concearned. Grimlock looks really nice and Strongarm is interesting. The only one that doesn't strike me that much is Bumblebee. He's uninteresting at best.

Theseare still OK but not that great.Steeljaw is cool though in vehicle mode

Hey, I'm all for big mama TFs!

Also not interested in any of these. these Rid toys remind me of 2009 Animated and TFP toys, That I didn't like.

Hoping the 2015 Rid toys don't make any Voyager, Ultra, leader and Supreme toys. Rather HasTak save all of the bigger toys for the 2015 Generations and CW toys.

They look fun but not exceptional. I'll probably pick up the Godzillagrimlock. I really hope the horrible, massive faction symbols are stickers i can remove though as they look terrible and misaligned on every figure. I can see they have molded recesses which is a bummer.

i have seen tiny portions of BM and i would definitely agree with you Madeus that Strika was overkill (overkill sounds like a name for a decepticon... )

I really hope RiD will be a good show. As of now I'm skeptical and the figures are just ok, couple good ideas going on but, just ok. I like the Grimlock quite a bit but not as Grimlock and he is a deluxe where voyager would have been better. His robot and dinosaur modes are cool and maybe change the head and make him into a different character.

Way too kiddish looking for my taste. Good transformations though. Why is Bumblebee holding the Starsaber?

Siger wrote:Way too kiddish looking for my taste. Good transformations though. Why is Bumblebee holding the Starsaber?

Because Bumblebee is considered the leader of the series, not Optimus Prime. Don't know the exact role of Optimus, but expect him to be more of a mentor than anything else.
