Sometimes figure reveals can come from the strangest places in the strangest formats.
This bit of news comes from Italian marketplace site Terminal Video Italia which provides us a drawing of a rapid transformation scheme of a Robots in Disguise Sideswipe figure that has yet to be revealed. The transformation scheme appears quicker than even the legion class and looks totally different than the one step Sideswipe figure already released. This may be our first look at a three step (or Hyperchange) Sideswipe figure. So far, this different size class entails of Bumblebee, Grimlock and Optimus Prime.

Since the pic says "Warriors", I'm thinking that might be a glimpse at a Warrior class Sideswipe figure.

I find the tagline of 12 new characters to be very encouraging

The illustration depicts three steps, though, and lines up very closely with what we've seen from the Hyperchange Heroes' packaging so far.

Also, and this is not concrete evidence by any means, look at the kid's hands in that illustration. Assuming it's supposed to represent an average 6-9 year old, that Sideswipe is way too huge to be a Deluxe figure.

Wow. That is a quick change. And a decent looking robot mode. I'm sure it has terrible articulation but that transformation sure is cool. I may pick one of these up for the novelty of it.

If HasTak only plans to do brick formers with Three step Transformers for the bigger Rid toys. Then I'm hoping there is no Ultra or Leader class toys for this toy line. Rather see the 2015 CW and Generations get the bigger Ultra, Leader and Supreme toys instead.

If that's the Hyperchange, I could really care less.

If that's the Warrior class...at least there's one toy in this line that isn't looking dull. Still holding my tongue for the under-detailed inaccurate final product, though.

Thanks to an anonymous source, we have in-package images of Robots in Disguise (2015) Warrior Class Optimus Prime and Drift! Though the images are small due to being overtaken by images of the figures themselves, we get a decent look at the package art for the pair. Check out the images below!

Not when the actual TFA season 4 Prime would have been so much cooler:

The Warrior figure pales in comparison.

Eh, close enough!

Look like I was right to call him "Grown up TFA OP."
Not for me.

oh man. so cool. Yeah nothing now does that justice. I think Takara's Hunter Prime looks like it was inspired by that but...man. this toy would have been awesome.

this would be a awesome figure for the 2015 generations line

Animated PowerMaster Optimus Prime with Micron (insert Armada Micron name here ) comes with 4 Missiles, Matrix Of Leadership, Magnus Hammer and a exchangeable Generation one Optimus Prime Head for that extra bit of G1 Powermaster Prime Nostalgia

Why is it that, all of a sudden, I actually want these figures (specifically the 'bots) even though they're out of scale, under detailed, and/or terribly sculpted? :BOOM:

I'm having an identity crisis.

This line makes me sad.

That Warrior Class Optimus look just amazing! One thing I'm looking forward to is how much it will scale with Cyberverse figures, based on the vehicle mode. It is a truck & trailer combo after all.

No matter what, it will be one more Optimus deluxe to add to my collection. Now, if only my local stores would bother to be up to date...

Eeeech.... they're still doing those shampoo bottle figures? The same kind that, from other lines, I see warming shelves every day? I guess SOMEONE must be buying them or they wouldn't keep making them...

Gotta have something to fill the shelves when they don't get enough real figures thanks to bad distribution.

Um, quick question, I got a 3-step Bumblebee for my birthday (It was what I didn't have, and I'm not ready to go into Combiner Wars yet.) I think it might be broken, though, the head doesn't come up all the way and he looks like he's staring at his chest (or hanging his head in shame). Is this a common problem, or should I exchange mine?

A big, non-transforming, simplistic, shoulder-articulated Bumblebee? Yes, please!
