Official Images for Transformers Robots in Disguise Three Step Changer Night Ops Bumblebee and Sideswipe

Here are some in hand images of ToysRUs Exclusive Robots in Disguise Clash of the Transformers Warrior Class Optimus Prime and Sideswipe. These are allspark blue infused redecos of Robots in Disguise Warrior Class Optimus Prime and Sideswipe attempting to mirror their deco in the season one finale.

These have yet to be found in the US.

So, Will, how about the Sideswipe arm/shoulder problem thingy? Was it fixed on that one or is it the same?

Same, its pretty terrible. However, his arms are stopped by his chest unless you do it on purpose to pull them out. So not the intended peg, but he can still do some neat poses.

Quillfire, Megatronus and Thunderfoot were found in store listings. And Hasbro did say that other decepticons will be released in the warrior class and I will be waiting for those. I dont think we risk the other stuff selling out while awaiting confirmation.

Not really. the big risk will be the warriors selling out when they come!

Haha, nice You know, we joke around about this product line but it is selling quite well everywhere I go. And I havent even contributed to it since I buy the Takara versions instead. There are very few wave 1 and 2 warriors left anywhere, and the toysrus I took those COTF redecos from only has those redecos for the most part, which is technically the latest ones to come out.

That's fantastic news! When do we expect these to come out?

Sadly, there is no estimated release date. Hasbro even said we have seen all that is coming out this year for the line so it might have to wait about 4 months (since the first RID toys last year came out before christmas).

Hey Carytheone, I was gonna give you some proof to back up our statements and while I do have it, something interesting came up. So Walmart has more Combiner Wars deluxes than RID Warrior figures:



BUT Toysrus now has that RID Clash of the Transformers promotion with the exclusives, so there is not one single combiner wars deluxe left and instead it is all exclusive figures as far as the eye can see, check it out.


Toysrus appears to be pretty confident in their alliance with the Robots in Disguise line. Not only do they have exclusives in the Legends, Warrior, 3 Step and Ultra classes but these exclusives are worldwide, including Japan's Toysrus stores, where those same exclusive figures are distributed by Takara. An exclusive sublne this wide is unprecedented. While this subline is not found in the US yet, it is very prominent in Canada, with Toysrus displaying the subline and line as a whole in prominence. Below are pictures of this display and you can get some in hand images of the exclusive Warrior Class Optimus Prime and Sideswipe here. Toysrus appears to be calling this marketting oush "Autobot August"! The promotion has nothing to do with discounted prices though.



The other sides of the display area had other Robots in Disguise products.





And the Transformers aisle had those Toysrus Exclusives as far as the eye could see.

Nope. Same old wave 1 or 2 without any voyagers or the scouts that matter, meaning Grooves and Blackjack.

I saw Groove a few times, but Blackjack was never seen at walmart. I did find 1 at TRu once.

All the WM's I hit in my travels, it's about 50/50 in the deluxe/warrior scene. But the mess of RID/AoE 1 steps take up the most space.

A bunch of TRU stuffs

Wow, those are some cool RID displays. I'm happy to see that line taking up a strong footing. I just finished up the series and enjoyed it quite a bit. Also, I rarely every see any of our local TRUs that well stocked. I don't own a Prime mold yet, so the Clash version may be the one.

I have yet to see the most recent CW legends waves at our WMs yet either. Target and TRU on the other hand has had both. I have found that our WMs are always super late to the party.

I've seen Defensor limbs here and there via both Target and WM's but the bulk of the pegs are still Menasor limbs. I have spotted the Hotspot/Cyclonus voyager wave at one TRU, but that one was way out of my normal hunting plains. I have spotted the RID Fixit/Overbite legions wave at local WM/TRU/Target. Distribution seems to be all over the place. We have yet to see the Clash of the Transformers redecos or the minicons. I think both have been spotted in Canada.

Got me? I've taken to the internet for figures I don't want to miss and I wait for retail for the fence straddlers.
