New Galleries: Robots In Disguise Warrior Class Drift and Optimus Prime

I like that Optimus.

so tiny.

some ankle joints would've been great.. too bad hasbro doesn't care about producing a quality product anymore.

I actually dig the legions figures, and I'm happy to see their return! They are cheap, and small, which is about all I can handle at this point. And they are still more advanced than those old 80s minibots.

It's not like the amount of plastic is decreasing or anything.

It's all going towards the awesomeness of Alpha Bravo.

They should save some and make some Barrel Roll



Honestly I would make a custom if i knew how to paint.

No ankle tilt = bad quality product? What?

Yah, I don't think that's fair since ankle tilts are a relatively newer feature to mainline Transformers toys. It's also a feature that I don't think makes or breaks a toy. It is a nice feature, sure, but hardly necessary on a regular retail figure.

Drift is a great figure. He shares some similar transformations with Bumblebee.

Optimus looks good but there's something off with his arms. They're a little too short and the lack of a shoulder ball joint or something to give it proper rotation kind of is a bother. It could also use some paint apps. Maybe a little yellow for detailing on the legs? The overall sculpt is great though.

I look forward to a Voyager Class version of Optimus Prime. Hopefully we get one of him and Grimlock, though I'm a little concerned that we aren't getting Voyagers in this line ... but hopefully that will be resolved in 5 days at Toy Fair.

This mod might help:



BTW could you, or somebody else, post a comparison of RID15 Prime with Generations Arcee? I just want a height check before I buy the guy.

Hey, Optimus has a miniture version of his WFC axe. Never noticed that before.

Kay, so, Drift kicks all sorts of ass. Some slight touch ups and BAM! He'll be perfect.

Optimus; meh.

meh

maybe they will appeal to me when i see em in person, but as of now def not interested

The galleries of Seibertron focuses its lens on the 2nd wave of Transformers Robots In Disguise One-Step Changers. This wave consists of Fixit, Grimlock and Steeljaw. As with all One-Step figures, these guys transforms with one step. Currently this is the only Fixit figure available however there is a Legion Class figure available soon in wave 3. Click here to see all Robots In Disguise galleries. As always click the images below to see the full galleries.

Transformers: Robots In Disguise (2015) Fixit








Transformers: Robots In Disguise (2015) Steeljaw










Transformers: Robots In Disguise (2015) Grimlock

I still dont get why Steeljaw has a regular jaw in the artwork but all the toys have a dog snout ?

Rated X wrote:I still dont get why Steeljaw has a regular jaw in the artwork but all the toys have a dog snout ?

He does have a dog snout in the artwork. It's just that that particular angle of the artwork gives a bad impression of his snout. Compare to other shots of him from the show:






It also doesn't help that all of Steeljaw's toys are lacking in paint apps on his face. Compare the face of the official Hasbro deco (left) to the face of this fan custom (right):

That custom is blindingly awesome! If the retail version looked like that I'd possibly want one!

As for Fixit, I may just buy him. He's the only character I like after seeing the first 3 eps the weekend, and he works as a 1 step. He reminds me of the human friendly sidekick robots from 80's shows Like Goshogun or that little egg like dude from M.A.S.K (forget his name) I'm not saying characters like that are necessary but he is a little nostalgic. He may look good with the Masterpiece human figures. Or maybe Human alliance figures are a better size.

Keep going. We're up to episode 7 as of this typing.

Rated X wrote:I still dont get why Steeljaw has a regular jaw in the artwork but all the toys have a dog snout ?

I'm agreeing with you on this. The first time I saw Steeljaw in the cartoon, the wolf-motif to me felt more like Native American wolf-skin helmet. At worst, the Wolf-snout on him is more a nose guard; the face itself is relatively flat and the wolf's "snout" is nose, not actual mouth. where as the the toy has the wolf snout pointed out and part of the robot mode mouth more pronoucedly than does the cartoon.

Well, it officially aired on CN over here this weekend, so to support that I'm going to watch it on TV rather than online. This weekend will be eps 4 and 5. Hopefully it won't do what Prime did and take too long to continue future seasons. I watched half of season 1 of Prime on CN, but got tired of waiting for the second half whilst the entire internet spoiled Unicron...so I watched the rest first online.

Not sure if I can really take to this show or the toys. I keep looking at Warrior Strongarm...but that price when I know CW is on the shelf isn't appealing. I'm considering warrior Prime, since I like collecting leaders at deluxe size, but again price versus product doesn't seem to balance with this RID stuff. £16.99 for that Prime doesn't feel anywhere near worth it. If they were £9.99 then maybe. But when the legion is £7 I think they've lost me on this one.
Without wanting to start a negatively toned debate, I don't feel they are working to their cause with Strongarm's character. They are pushing for positive Female types in Transformers, but I'm still seeing the tired archetypes; Prime Arcee had to prove she was as good as the males by being tough as nails and hardcore, and now Strongarm is the slightly dizzy over eager fan girl for the famous Bumblebee. Her design is good, very good. Her toy is probably my favourite of the line and the only warrior I'm serious about considering but...meh, I dunno. She isn't what I was hoping for character wise I guess.She could've been interesting, something different, y'know?

All I will say about Strongarm without spoiling later episodes is that we see more sides of Strongarm in episodes after the third one.

I truly don't get it. Hasbro molded in all of the details necessary to replicate the on screen deco, but the toys have hardly any paint, or at least not enough to stand out like the show and customs do. Why go to so much effort only to half ass it in the end?

And another thing I don't get? I actually prefer Hasbro's plain decos, the painted details and "lights" kinda drive me batty, tbh.

There's such a thing as being "over" detailed. That may be what's getting you. And to your first question, I would bet that the guy designing the figure doesn't know what the Paint department is gonna do, so he gives them everything and hopes for the best. Or, he just likes his job.

Seibertron.com is proud to bring you another exclusive gallery featuring Transformers Adventures TAV13 Nemesis Prime! This figure was recently released in Japan alongside TAV-14 Ultra Magnus and is the "evil" version of (our Stateside released) Robots In Disguise: Warrior Class Optimus Prime.

We invite you stick around and browse our Galleries, join the Conversations, and keep up to date with all your Transformers News at Seibertron.com!

Transformers Adventures Nemesis Prime

The coloring really makes this mold work well in a menacing way.

I'll say! I recently got RID Warrior Prime and was kinda let down. I was regretting the preorder I had for Nemmy here, but after all the in hand pics I've seen I no longer care. Black suits this mold so well I can forgive any shortcomings it has.

It's very pretty.

Am I the only one who wants this for TFA Scourge?

Seibertron has been hard at work to bring you new galleries today, first of Transformers Adventures TAV-13 Nemesis Prime and now TAV-14 Ultra Magnus! The figure originates from the Transformers Prime Beast Hunters line, but sports a brand new paint scheme to dazzle the eyes.

We invite you take a closer look at this fella and stick around to browse our Galleries, join the Conversations, and keep up to date with all your Transformers News at Seibertron.com!

Transformers Adventures Ultra Magnus

Really nice, it's a shame he's 12 months to late.

When was the last time Hasbro made a Scourge/Nemesis Prime? I always like the color scheme, but it seems we only get it via a Kreon or a Club exclusive or everywhere BUT the mainlines...

There was the Generations Thrilling 30 Legends class Nemesis Prime and Spinister 2-pack from last year.

How the heck did I forget that one?

Bought it, gave Spinister and gun to Tfss Scourge, stuffed Nemmy in storage

To start a new weekend, and a new set of galleries for a while, Seibertron.com focuses on the toyline for Transformers: Robots in Disguise, as we explore the recent offerings of the animated TV show in plastic form - despite their limited articulation, in some cases.

The first new addition is Three-Step Changer - or Hyperchange Hero - Steeljaw, self-appointed leader of the Decepticon pack of fugitives, and the latest iteration of the character across different classes. You can find the Warrior class gallery here, the One-Step changer here, Legion class over here and the Tiny Titan here. Click on any image below to view the full gallery, as usual!

Transformers: Robots In Disguise (2015) Steeljaw

Seibertron.com is proud to bring you some new galleries, featuring Robots In Disguise 1-Steps Night Ops Bumblebee, Ninja Mode Sideswipe, Thunderhoof, Fracture, and Drift! The Ninja's and Night Ops were first seen in the Transformers: Robots in Disguise Game App, while the other three are brand new and is the first Thunderhoof and Fracture cast in (transformable) plastic. See them below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for the best galleries around!

Transformers: Robots In Disguise (2015) Ninja Mode Sideswipe




Transformers: Robots In Disguise (2015) Night Ops Bumblebee




Transformers: Robots In Disguise (2015) Thunderhoof

Transformers: Robots In Disguise (2015) Drift

Seibertron is excited to add to our ever expanding Gallery Section: Robots In Disguise Legion Class Fixit and Underbite! The pair of these (as you'll see in the galleries) have already been released as 1-Step Changers, but some might find these more pleasing given the scale. See these fun little fellas below, and join us for a chat in the Energon Pub. There's lots to do at Seibertron.com!

Transformers: Robots In Disguise (2015) Fixit












Transformers: Robots In Disguise (2015) Underbite

Out of all the crummy/underwhelming/lackluster/let down figures I've seen from this toyline so far, the legion class figures are the only one that look like they are severely hampered in any way other than their size. I might actually contemplate getting Legion Fixit. Shame about the Decepticons of this show too. Quite a number had cool designs and they will most likely not even get decent toys.

I have Legion Fixit, and he's a goofy fun little figure. But I honestly suggest giving the Warrior Class figures a whirl. Bumblebee and Drift are good starts

The next offering in the Seibertron.com galleries featuring toys from the Transformer: Robots in Disguise line brings us two rogue Warrior class robots from the show: Sideswipe and Jazz!

The former, a regular member of the cast, comes with a slick red paintjob, Japanese kanji clearly visible on the car mode and a sword - just like a teenager would, right? As for Jazz, the bulked up ex-hot head features a lance styled weapon and manic grin on the package art, along with the trademark colour scheme of blue, red and white. Click on any image below to view the full galleries.

It really is unfortunate that Sideswipe has that issue with his shoulders. He is an amazing looking figure that just has 2 little flaws that really screw him up.

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:It really is unfortunate that Sideswipe has that issue with his shoulders. He is an amazing looking figure that just has 2 little flaws that really screw him up.

I still think he's a pretty good figure. His neck bothered me more ... it just looks odd or is too big or something. Can't pinpoint what bothers me about it other than it just looks off. His shoulders weren't that bad. They wouldn't stay in place, but the shoulder joint was tight enough that I didn't find myself constantly fighting with it while posing him for the gallery, which is always my biggest concern with Transformers toys. As long as I can pull off great poses and the toy does more or less what I need it to do, I'm a happy Transformers website owner.

Next stop after these galleries are the Transformers Adventures toys from Takara. I have the initial ones that are repaints half finished ... I don't think I'll have time to do Dreadwing, Bloody Knockout, Roadblock, Knockout, Shrapnel and Bombshell until after BotCon but we'll see where I end up at today after I take care of this past weekend's sales in the Seibertron.com Store.

I agree. I really do like him and he is one of 3 RiD guys I will buy (with Strongarm and Fixit). I dont really pose them much, so thats not a big concern. I will be really happy with him.

Man, the RiD line in general (arguably even Transformers in general) look so much worse than previous lines... and then here comes Fixit with ball joints out of the wazoo in a Legions figure.

I love the little Fixit figure. He's great! Wish he was a little less happy, but still a fun little toy for a figure that has wheels for legs.

I do like him too. and for $6 American value, I'll gladly pick up the little guy. I plan on using my FoC Grimlock and, since by a fluck I have both beast hunters Bees, I'll use one of them to go with Warrior Strongarm, Sideswipe and this little guy. He's so cute and cuddly in a Drill tank mode-ish way

He really is cute as a button, isn't he?

Another addition to the Seibertron.com galleries from the Transformers: Robots in Disguise animated series toy line graces us this Tuesday, with one of the biggest Bumblebee figures in the last couple of years. Check out below a sample of the full gallery - which you can access by clicking on any of the images - for Super Bumblebee, the three-step changer that towers over his Hive of fellow 'bees!
