Robots In Disguise Warrior Class (Deluxe) Grimlock has a well known problem with his arm assembly in which the gray piece of plastic that functions as a ratchet will become loose and even dislodged, causing problems such as stressing the forearm plastic and causing the forearms to become loose and droop, and possibly even break if it gums up badly.
Seibertron has posted a video tutorial on how to fix this problem and even get rid of the stress marks so you can get your awesome Grimlock figure back to it's minty freshness.
You can watch the YouTube tutorial in the embed below, check out our gallery of Warrior Class Grimlock here and discuss the figure and it's issue here.

...So, when's wave 3 of the Warriors comin' 'round? I'm juiced to get my hands on Jazz and Sideswipe. Was there a planned release date revealed at their unveiling, or do we just wait around until someone finds 'em?

I don't know about Jazz (I'll probably cave) but I definitely want Sideswipe. I have almost the entire Autobot lineup, so far and it feels odd not having Sideswipe to stand with them.

That's a bit disappointing. I assumed, since Wave 2 came so quickly after Wave 1, that we'd see them within a month or so.
That's okay. I guess I can spend the summer grabbing Adventure Bee and Strongarm while disappointingly finding someone snagged Drift and left a sea of Optimi in every Target in the area.

Wave two didn't hit that quickly. Wave 1 was late December, early January while Wave 2 started trickling out late February, early March.

What exactly is the 'boiling water trick' and can you use a hairdryer instead of a heatgun? Doesn't throwing heat on the figure make the logo sticker lift?

Were there any dates for the minicons and their launchers?

Personally, I wouldn't mind as I only plan to collect the Autobots and, so far, all the 'bots have been booked. However, there's probably going to be more considering "Dinobots" and more returning Prime characters are planned. I'd expect a new toy line for each season, just like what Prime did.

Hopefully they won't have a mostly horrible change like Beast Hunters did. Some of the ugliest toys. They looked to me like someone made lazy customs with kibble bits and super glue.

Maybe for this year/season. It seems like with AOE Hasbro is going for shorter lines with more figures in each wave.

We got a slew of new images today, from all over the internet, of some upcoming Robots in Disguise products. All with the exception of Hyperchange Steeljaw were already revealed at the New York Toy Fair but these give us an idea of how their packaging looks like.
Images for Hyperchange Steeljaw, Mega 1-Step Optimus Prime, Deployers Fracture and Drift, Minicon Slipstream, and Super Bumblebee were found at Amazon.ca and Wind Designs.
The mirrored images are below.

Perfect, because that's exactly what Hasbro said they were targetting with these. They said these toys were made:
After that, they can pick up the generations toys.

This is where all that extra plastic goes before it ends up on clearance and in the thrift shop by 2016. Hasbro should just eliminate simplified toys and just do one version of each character for all ages. In the 80's we didn't have 10 different Primes and 20 different Bumblebees.

I wonder how well all the add-on bits for the minicons will fit on other figures.
If I remember correctly in one of the videos where the new minicons were shown, isn't there some kind of 'new figure' you can build out of the add-on bits if you get all the minicons?

I am not sure if the add on minicon stuff can fit on others, I think it's specific per minicon (like the wolf mask for instance). But maybe other parts do, I dont know.
And YES, it was said that those translucent plastic bits can create a new figure. One for the decepticons and one for the autobots. I was hoping we could see the other side of the box to see if the look was revealed or not.

Answer 1) Yes, very simple toys, not very inventive.
Answer 2) Sadly, it doesnt look like it.
I hope not to need those to build the mystery figure.

It looks like everything pegs in using rectangular pegs and holes. I don't think they will work with many other toys. I wish Hasbro would carry Takara's 5mm p&p torch. It was so simple and universal. It brought unity to all the lines, past and present.
Despite this and the fact that they turn into hockey pucks. I am excited to check them out just because I think they are neat looking.
And the launchers look meh, but Fracture's alt mode (hover bike? I think?) looks like deluxes or voyagers could possibly ride him. That would be fun!

The minicon hand weapons & hand ports look to be round, so hopefully for the weapons at least.
Launcher Drift & Fracture look like they may be cool, definitely want to see some in-hand pictures and poses of them.
Slipstream looks like a mini-Drift, I wonder if he'll need a beard painting like Drift.
Why does Mega One Step Optimus have better paint/colors than Warrior class :/

I'm always annoyed by a toy line giving me a character without his key gimmicks or making a roy of him where the gimmicks are so intrusive that they ruin the toy. It seems that this line has done both.
Is there any kind of interactive play value between the warrior and minicons ?

As we previously reported, a bunch of new pictures revealing the upcoming Robots in Disguise figures in their packaging have emeged across the internet. We have two more for you, and those happen to be of the most anticipated figures revealed so far: Sideswipe and Jazz. These in package images (and suplemental new stock images) were provided through their listings on Bigbadtoystore and have been mirrored below.

Not really, the Mini-Cons are standalone for the most part. They merely serve as ammo for the Deployers, that's it.

Oh well fuck, that Sideswipe looks sexy. Now I have to rescind my no autobots rule for RID15. I'm not sure on Jazz yet.or Grimlock. I like both of them on the show but their toys are not grabbing me... Also Grimlock should have a weapon. Every other warrior has one...

I think the "thought" was Grimlock doesn't need a weapon b/c he has teeth & claws. Some kind of forearm blade(s) or punching dagger type blade might have been cool though.
What the heck is Jazz's weapon supposed to be? It looks like some kind of lance/spear, but the peg makes it look like some kind of rifle.

I think the "thought" was Grimlock doesn't need a weapon b/c he has teeth & claws. Some kind of forearm blade(s) or punching dagger type blade might have been cool though.

It's been described as akin to Cybertron's deluxe hotshot but with better articulation. Sounds awesome to me

I'm not really collecting this line, but I did pick up the Bumblebee (go figure?!?!?) and I rather like it!
I could see myself picking up these two, and maybe drift too.
They could add to my TFP shelf since I don't expect to have enough of these guys to make a defined shelf.

To date, the only 3 characters I plan on getting are Legion Fixit, Warrior Strongarm and Warrior Sideswipe, and I'm gonna say it right now: That Sideswipe is AMAZING! Vehicle and Bot mode are beautiful, and it looks like kibble is well packed away and he looks solid. I'm excited to get him

@rpetras - Bee was a nice surprise right? The only one I'm not thrilled with is Prime, but he has his merits. I currently have all these guys on my Unicron Trilogy shelf. They fit right in. My Prime shelf is still in the works. I might try them up there though.
@NukeCon - I feel your Cons only thing. If they only made all Cons in Warrior class I'd be happy. But some of these Bots are really fun.

Even though I wasn't really planning on picking up that much from RID, I might pick up Sideswipe just so Warrior Strongarm isn't the only RID figure on my shelf. Really diggin the sword and alt mode on 'Swipe.

So BBTS has an EAD of May. Hope that means there is another wave coming 4th quarter. And I hope it's Con heavy!

On the packajing, the drawing of Jazz look very nice. Then, I look below and see the toy.
Erhg...
Completely different chest colors, and I hope it's possible to bring the doors over his shoulders like the picture. Also, giant butt-flap that I hope is misstransformed. Let's hope Takara will do better,, at least on the paintjob.

Welcome aboard!
I usually don't like when someone's first comment is negative, but... Well... I kinda agree, but only for the colors and paintjobs. The bots are usually have a nice design and I really dig these vehicles. However, the colors are WAY too bright and... luminescent? Plus the paint aps on the Hasbro ones look really cheap and sloppy. Takara fix this, as usual.

Oh, it is! Clever bastards. That make the butt-flap a moot point then.
