Awww, you beat me to the punch. I just left TRU and was going to complain about all the kids there.

awesome! I'm ready for more one steps! love playing with these and my kids love them too!

Thunderhoof is getting a "Deluxe" (Warrior?) version, right? Every time I see this version, I think about how cool it would be if they made a Deluxe version out of the Generations Scoop mold.

It's just so crazy to me that he has a subtle Slicer vibe from his color and paint apps.

Huh, Jazz Actually looks better now, good photos can really change your mind! (However, his package art looks manic, like he's gonna take his lance and shove it in a very uncomfortable place)
Sideswipe On the other hand I like less than in his first pics.
If CW doesn't slaughter my wallet, I'll give these two a try!

we need a 3P company that just makes visors for dudes with missing visors.

Seriously if you don't like the show or the toys then don't watch the show or buy the toys.

I would be inclined to believe the "kiddie" would want the same toy his big brother got and not a dumbed down version. I know I would. Im so glad there were no "kiddie Transformers" back in the 80's. (except happy meal toys maybe)

There were no "non-kiddie Transformers" until 1995.

Actually I take that back...:

That race car is pretty dope.

All three of those are dippity dope!

X, what age range would you put on "kiddie"? Last time I checked 9 year olds were still "kids". In fact the legal age of adulthood is 18, so...

Or "Bumblebee."

FYI Amazon has the three One-Step changers in stock with Prime shipping. They also have the two Legion figures listed but those are being sold by third party sellers at a horrible mark up

You weren't asking me, but... I have a 20 year old brother in law and I consider him a "kid". I'm a few grey/missing hairs older than that and I collect toys, so I still consider myself a kid, sometimes. I like to label things as fun or not fun, works much better in my hobbies.

So, I guess it's a perspective thing.

Destroyed

Fellow Seibertronian weebot17 informed us of the first sighting for the upcoming Robots in Disguise legion class figures : Fixit and Underbite.

These two were found in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong at 59.99 HK$ (which is 7.74 US$) and posted by bladestorm on OZFORMERS.

The recent review of Fixit showed us that these can be quite the neat figures, so hopefully this means these will soon find a way to our shores.

I've taken a real shine to Fixit and I think I've realized why.

@ Cary - You're on fire with the photoshop jokes today. good one.

Cobotron wrote:@ Cary - You're on fire with the photoshop jokes today. good one.

It's what happens when I'm in the office. I get bored and photoshops start happening.

Oops, I forogt, I really do like the little guy. I'm currently on the hunt for him. I was disappointed when I read the retail sighting was overseas.

I want Fixit, he's a must buy, but I'll wait with Underbite, I still hope we get a bigger release for him.

I just found Grimlock and am looking for Sideswipe. I will be hunting for these as well.

Cobotron wrote:I just found Grimlock and am looking for Sideswipe. I will be hunting for these as well.

We've gotten both of those. It seems Canada and US are pretty much synched up for this RID toyline. So Cobotron, you are collecting the legion class as well? How does it compare to the Prime cyberverse toys?

Sure! You've seen Micronopolis.
How they compare? Samesies, I guess. Legions tend to recycle a lot of engineering. I kinda have a hunch Sideswipe will be very similar to Prime cliffjumper/tailgate. I always like the simplicity of this size class.
The only bummer about the RID Legions is no weapons. I would have been ok if they just reused the Prime weapons. The hand ports are the same.

HEY UNCLE HASBY! Release a Legions weapons pack like you used to do for GI Joe!

I've seen those two in our area as well. I think they may have just hit our shelves. I almost nabbed Grimmy. The whole lot of them are cute. For some dumb reason, I just can't seem to drop $6 on them.

Definitely picking up Fixit and I may grab Underbite and make him someone's pet. His muzzle looks a wee bit like the mousers from TMNT.



Overall, I've been enjoying these simpler figures. Something about being able to transform them while mouthing "TSCHE-CHU-CHU-CHU-TSCHE" is very satisfying.

I've gotten a charlie horse in my jaw trying to do that with bigger class TFs. No Joke!

I'm not familiar with that one, so I had to go to the galleries, but I think you would be done at "TSCHE-CHU-CHU".

I should have Legion Fixit and Underbite by this weekend will galleries to follow soon thereafter. If my U.S. distributor just shipped them out to my store earlier today, they should be coming to US stores soon. If I were you, I'd keep watch on Target as they seem to usually get shipments similar to my distributor.

Thrilling 30 Swerve is good for that too! Love the little guy; He's probs my favorite mold ever.

Fully posable yet simple and quick to transform. Can't get any better than that

That shit eatin' grin doesn't hurt either.

Does anyone know if Takara is planning to release legion Fixit in their TED subline for RID2015? If all we get is the Hasbro release, that's fine, but I have a feeling Takara would match up the orange a little better with his on screen appearance. That Hasbro version looks ORANGE, while in animation, Fixit is a less vibrant orange.

In conclusion: Swerve is the best Transformer toy ever made. Fixit has a lot to live up to, but looks to be pretty cool too

Sideswipe is nothing like PRID legion Cliffjumper. No Legion toy before or since has been able to equal that legendary mold.

I find the cyberverse Ironhide mold to be pretty legendary too. It's as complex as a deluxe figure and, through sheer will, gets to have the clear chest panel actually be the front of the truck. That transformation amazes me everytime.

I've got the Trailcutter version of that figure, and the transformation is pretty cool. The truck pegs together quite nicely. The wonky head and the goofy forearms ruin it a bit though.

I prefer Trailcutter as well. Ironhide was a bit of a floppy mess, Trailcutter held together a bit better.

Were you talking about Legion Sideswipe or Legion Cliffjumper? The answer is yes to both.

I just recently found the Huffer version, he makes the cut.

I know. Look up!

Thanks for the reviews. Ya know Chuck, I really appreciate your love for the small and simple TFs. They are really under valued sometimes.

I think it has to do with nostalgia; as a child it was always easier to get a few of the smaller figures then a larger one. Also as a reviewer I tend to make my money back faster due to the lower price point.

Dang it! I've passed on that Huffer/Trailbreaker mold many times because of the goofy face. Maybe I will run into one of them at TJ Maxx again...

carytheone wrote:Dang it! I've passed on that Huffer/Trailbreaker mold many times because of the goofy face. Maybe I will run into one of them at TJ Maxx again...

I think Amazon has Huffer cheap

Confirming some of the speculations started from the Transformers: Robots in Disguise app, online retailers Entertainment Earth and Big Bad Toy Store have listed pre-orders for waves 5 and 6 of the One-Step subline, plus a Three-Step Change Sideswipe toy too.

There is currently very little information about the waves other than the titles and the provisional July release date, but follow the links above to find out more yourselves!

About $12, maybe one day I will need a filler to get free shipping. That mold isn't that high on my want list. CW and RID are kicking the bejezus out of my wallet right now anyway.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll put him on the back burner considering how.much you guys are talking him up.
