Fellow Seibertronian Cobotron has spotted both Robots in Disguise Warrior Drift and Optimus Prime in a Target in Omaha, NE today for $14.99. He took a picture of the Drift he purchased along with the proof of purchase. Now that these are available in stores, if you are wodnering if they are worth picking up, we recently put up galleries of the two figures and a review of Drift is also available.

Because Prime ran over my dog. :-x

You know I have a don't "over Prime" rule right? I have RID Legion and Combo Wars, so I'm approaching my yearly quota already, and it's only February.

He was there though. They had 2 of each. Prime does look cool.

Grimlock looks good but is a junky toy (at least the one I got). Our old friend Chuckdawg did a good review on Drift here, so I thought I'd give him a try.

You made the right choice. Drift is the best Warrior class figure thus far, and in contention to be one of the best figures of the year. It might sound strange but I find the Hyperchange Prime more enjoyable.

I gotta agree with you Chuck, this guy is the one to get. He reminds me alot of Cybertron Hot Shot, but with way better arms. And legs for that matter.

His Alt mode is super cool. It's very Tron like.

Seibertron podcaster ScottyP was able to find the 2nd wave of 1-Step figures at a Target in Cary, NC. He was able to confirm Grimlock and Steeljaw however this wave also contains Fixit. You can always send your new retail finds to Sightings@Seibertron.com. Be sure to include a picture like ScottyP did.

If you don't want to wait on these to show up in your neck of the woods, they are also now available on Amazon.com. Click on the links to see the listings.

Drift is the perfect example of what the Warrior class can be; solid, movable figures with a simple Transformation.

Grimlock is actually pretty clever. Steeljaw is ok, but I really dislike that he has 0 articulation. Absolutely none. Most of these guys at least let you move an arm or something.

What would you recommend for Grimlock: One-Step or Warrior?

Warrior. It has its problems, but still the most satisfying Grimlock. Though I like the size of the 3-Step "Hyperchange" one and it has a cool transformation. If you don't mind a brick I'd actually say that one.

So my choices are tinysaur, clever but unsatisfying, problematic and cool brick? Hm.

Yep. Amazing that they can do four of the same character in different sizes yet never quite hit the mark dead on.

I... might just pass then. Unless I find a Warrior on clearance. Saves me money!

But he said the Warrior is the satisfying one.

And I've heard others say they really like it.
