I thought it would be the step with his toes.

It's weird. 2 should be the minimum.
I really hope they do something nice for the UK market like actually release Legion Bisk.
They could have also have made a Legion Thermidor pretty easily too or even a Purple & Green Blurr.
They could show some more effort at least. They claim RID isn't dead yet - but with the final batch of the show being so small I'd be very surprised if they put even as much of a push into winding it up as they did into Predacons Rising.
-------
I wish Hasbro wasn't being so cheap with their cartoons now - as what I'd actually like is a cartoon based on the unusued content for the cancelled Transformers Universe game (and perhaps the Japanese MMO) that would be a semi-sequel to Prime/RID too but with a return to the TF Prime art style.

Open to theft too.

Sadly that too.

I'm glad they are making a few more though - I'd love to get another dozen of them - the more they make the more useful they get.
I still wish the UK would get it's own tailored refresh warrior wave with all the things we missed out on or got understocked.
Really what is wrong with these people never re-issuing Jazz.

She's now outstayed her welcome - it would be as bad if they repainted her - or released her with a different weapon or battle mask - but the same one over and over is now boring to me.
I wanted Jazz, Ratchet, Scatterspike, Bisk to break up the monotany of another refresh leading to another re-release of Strongarm & Grimlock (again).
Why not re-release Steeljaw - even Thunderhoof has only been refreshed once. But some of the toys never. Considering Grimlock has been out so many times i've lost count - I don't think it's unreasonable to way - "Hey how about sliding in a Jazz or Bisk for a change".
Besides Grimlock and Strongarm are going to sell slower than a new toy would... at least until they have a sale offer on them.

There's no new tooling to Lunar force Prime Strong, it's just different plastic and paint colours.
However it does appear that the Optimus that comes as part of PrimeLock is either a retool or new mold, consider the different combined mode; head, shoulders & waist-plate.

I think he's talking about the molds in general, and I don't really see it. Optimus is a long-nose truck, while Motormaster is the cab-over-engine type, and Heatseeker lacks the lightbar. So far retools for Crash Combiners are limited to the robot forms with new heads and chest.

Course I really cannot wait for Primelock and Saberclaw. I love the simple combining gimmicks.
On that note, Ultra Bee is my favorite RiD figure of the year so far. The warriors have lacked some stuff this year, moving away from the con designs of the past year and a half, and Bee is just so much fun. and the very concept of him is really cool too.
So yes, if you get a combining figure, get Ultra Bee

Along with them, both users also spotted some Optimus Prime and Bumblebee coin banks - all of which is pictured below from Walgreens stores, check it out!
The figures appear to be about five-six inches tall (give or take...it was hard to scale them). They have minimal paint-apps and arm articulation (but not leg articulation).
Not included in the picture were Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. I don't know what the distribution is, but I saw two Sideswipes and two Grimlocks.
These figures ring up at $6.99 each.
The Titans are about deluxe size, and only included the main Autobot cast. Coin banks were Optimus and Bumblebee only. I included a picture of them all together with a lingering Chromedome so you could get an idea of the size.

Here are the bios:
Decepticon Bludgeon is a dangerous and masterful warrior. Sharp as a knife on the battlefield, the ferocious samurai uses his mighty swords to pull off the ultimate surprise ambush on the Autobots.
Lobstercon Thermidor will do anything to become the captain of his ship again. Forced to become a regular crewmate, the Decepticon scavenger remains crusty over that freelootin’ Captain Scuttle who pilfered his prized ship from him. Plundering for useful weapons and tech, Thermidor scours the universe, clawing for his next opportunity to take revenge.
As Autobot Twinferno might say, “Great minds think alike”-- at least when it comes to destroying Decepticons. The flying warrior has two minds that barely agree on anything, but that only fuels his fire for demolishing the enemy. When Autobot Twinferno is in dragon mode, he breathes fire from two heads. It’s double the trouble for the Decepticons!
While these latest warrior toys have not been found in the US yet (nor listed anywhere online), they have been found in the UK and are currently on sale at Tesco for £ 9.99.
This came to us from fellow Seibertronian Stuart Maximus who also told us that the latest legion class wave, which includes Blurr, has also been found in the UK.
Happy hunting for fellow UK fans!

Never take such bios seriously as they're written on the fly and riddled with errors.

So do I, though Primelock is a pretty sweet name I will give it that.

Everything they had was crazy expensive though so I just bought a Bludgeon.
Who is kinda fun - even if his sword is a bit short.

Found these at a Walgreen's in Menifee, CA tonight.
Transformers Value Figure 6 inch AST
Looks like there's supposed to be a total of six, maybe in two waves. Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Steeljaw show up on each other's boxes while Grimlock and Strongarm show up on those boxes.
Also, this Walgreen's has a brand new buy two, get one free promo at the $6.99 price point.

I am always overjoyed when fans have more fun than what I anticipated, it means I kept the hype down enough for everyone to have the joy of discovering a toy's fun all on their own

Most likely not. The only figures teased that aren't out yet are crash combiners Primelock and Saberclaw, and those were seen once at a show. Heck, the final wave of warriors is out in Canada at least with no tease for new ones. And the final legion figures have yet to show up either.
They've sort of dropped the ball with the last wave or 2 for the line. I'm worried i'll never seen Primelock or Saberclaw, and I really want both

While he is currently unavailable at Amazon, the placeholder listing does give us our first look at the stock photography for the figure.
Check out those photos below, and please let us know in the forums below if you spot this toy at retail!

I'm not really sure how, other than being cheaper: the 2 molds transform exactly the same way. Though if these colors end up being the "real" colors those might be a bit better too

Exactly, I'm much more willing to accept simplistic transformations at $5 and fits in the palm of my hand range than I am at the $15 range.

Dragbreak is still there, but Galvatronus is now at $50 plus shipping, so he went pretty fast for that batch
