New Galleries: Robots In Disguise Titan Changers Bumblebee and Optimus Prime

Loving the intro to that story so much. Really hitting the nail on the head

I had a chance to ask one such half-ling what they thought of the RID line and they said they wished TF Prime was still around instead.

They may have meant the design or the show. Hasbro's current endeavours are from overwhelming feedback that the toys had gotten far too complex in the movie era. They are curently trying to find their footing I guess.

Yeah, he did a great job. Way better than what I would have done. I would have referred to these as the Action Master Elites of our era which would have gone over many heads.

Much better than I expected, both in terms of sculpt and in terms of having at least SOME articulation, but I don't need yet another Optimus and Bumblebee.

They make something along the lines of a Steeljaw or Grimlock at this size, I'm sold. (Or a Strongarm, but they hardly ever make female Transformers larger than a Deluxe.)

I just ordered one of those overscale (part metal 18cm/7"inch tall) Warrior Grimlock toys - I'll let you know what it's like when it arrives.

Shame I don't have the original RID-15 Grimlock to compare it to though.

No pictures of them as chest minions?

Gee I wonder which side he belongs to.

Really though, Runabout looks good, but I'd have to wipe off most of those badges if I ever got him. Either a big one on the hood -OR- the two on the doors, not both (much less another three on top of that).

I second this question. Were's the pics with Override as Defensors bra?

Well the original Groove design had no weapons, so not too big of a surprise

No plans to do them with the Combiners ... maybe when I do the Unite Warriors combiners, but not at this time.

He looks much better when attached to Menasor since his colors are more closely based on Menasor's roller car than Blackjack's colors are.

& those two molds other feature to become a chestpiece would be a non plus! as they wouldn't be able to work that way with existing &/or current RID figures

Takara put every CW Legends class toy in their Adventure line because they're selling the Combiners as five-packs in Unite Warriors to be as show-accurate as possible. Menasor and Defensor only had five members, not six, and none of them were chestplates. So Takara threw all of the Legends class molds (Powerglide, Shrapnel, Bombshell, Cosmos, and these two) into the Adventure line where they are officially ignoring any and all playability between them and the Combiners.
