Transformers: Robots in Disguise Transforming Watches Sighted at US Retail

That Bumblebee's the Movieverse Bee. Weird that they'd put that in the RID line.

Upon closer inspection, he looks a little more TF: Prime-ish to me.

I didn't notice that Bee was BayBee until after I was looking at the pics with my wife. There's a flipping Chevy bowtie on his chest.

I studied Prime pretty hard, and he just looks like an amalgam of various OPs.

I got some serious nostalgic vibes and really wanted to want one, but they didn't quite do it for me and I was afraid they may not fit my wrist. Maybe they'll release a few more characters.

If Playmates follows suite with Voltron...

Let's be honest, most Optimus Prime heads look pretty much the same.

The Robots in Disguise line is really left short of consumer awareness through official product reveals. We have yet again, brand new toys we did not know were coming out found at retail. This happens to be part of the Soundwave 3-Step Wave. Joining Soundwave is a redeco of two older molds, Steeljaw and Bumblebee. It is rather odd that it is a reeco of the older Bumblebee 3-step toy and not the new one and even more odd that it is of a deco that is strinkingly similar to the Toysrus Exclusive Clash of the Transformers redeco/retool from two years ago. These were all found at Target in Saratoga, CA, by TFW2005 member JukeOutlander.

This TF fan was kind enough to even share the UPC codes for any fans keeping track.

Enjoy these "newly revealed" toys!

These have been known about since Toy Fair I thought? At least the Australian one. Maybe I'm imagining things.

I'd like to add something if you guys don't mind.

... and this is why. The redecos all have added "titles". Here's what I can see:

Bumblebee: Power Surge Bumblebee
Thunderhoof: Seismic Shock Thunderhoof
Steeljaw: Cybertron Strike Steeljaw

Grimlock is the only one I can't figure out. *EDIT*... because he's a new mold, not a redeco. Durh

And am I the only one who thinks trademarking the "Hyper-something" is kind of dumb?

Sure they do, it's right between the speech therapist and the Mini-Con adoption agency.

My life is complete.
