By now, almost every toy predicted in the Robots in Disguise App has been revealed aside from 2:
Stomp n’ Chomp Grimlock
Warrior Megatronus
And now, thanks to a post on Weibo, we finally have images for one of those: Stomp n’ Chomp Grimlock.
Surprising no one, this is simply a straight up repaint of Age of Extinction Stomp n’ Chomp Grimlock sporting the colours of Robots In Disguise 2015 Grimlock. Even the robot head still uses the Age of Extinction headsculpt as can be seen in the images below.
UPDATE: A listing for this toy was found on Toysrus' website and the price is revealed to be 79.99 $ USD.

Huh. Didn't expect an on-screen Movieverse character to get recycled in a non-Movie line.

That giant AOE Grimlock sold for 100$ originally. It began to move a little when it was 80$. They only got rid of them when he was on clearance. And now, it shelfwarm at Winners at 50$.
This time, the optimus accessory have been removed. It look nothing like the show. The killer question is, for how much will it go for? Because it clearly don't have the collector market in mind and mommy usually wont buy a toy that is worth 100$ or even 80$ to little timmy.
Bad planning, Hasbro. Bad planning.

RiD Stomp N Chomp repaint revealed? I actually saw this 2 weeks ago at the local TRU. Was it put on the shelf by mistake? Some kid was looking at it and oooh-ing and aaaah-ing, begging his mom to pick it up. The mom said 'You already have this one!' and the kid said, 'But this is Robots in Disguise!' The mom tried several times to point out that the kid didn't need this one because he had the movie version, and every time the kid said, 'But this one is Robots in Disguise!' As if that somehow 'won' the argument.

I'll try to make a run out today and see if it's still there. It might have sold (but this is TRU of shelfwarming fame), or they might have recognized the error and pulled it. In the which case I will have no proof of what I saw...

Shockwave 7, are you a robot or a Vulcon? I kid.
This statement is funny because it really kind of puts collecting into perspective. Do I need every Bluestreak I can find? Fact: No. Do I want every Bluestreak I can find? Emotional Response: YYYYEEEESSS!
Children exemplify this idea. I wonder at what age logic really kicks in?
The first S&C Grim Must have sold well, or else this decision would be completely illogical on Hasbro's part.

Well, it IS the whole basis for much of the comedic dialogue on any Star Trek show I have noted that much of the trolling that takes place on the internet is because of that very issue. Whenever people start losing on the basis of facts, they retreat into the comfort of emotional rhetoric, and thus, nothing gets resolved because in the minds of the emotional, their feelings counter any and all evidence to the contrary...

Well there was very little development costs for this particular release. I have a feeling this doesnt need to sell all that well for Hasbro to make good money off of it. This really feels like a decision based entirely from the business side of things since it lacks any creativity.

so thats what hasbros doing with all the left over stock, pretending its something new & hoping itll actually sell this time. The AoE one is still warming shelves what makes them think this wont join its brother for the long haul? If it was a brand new mold or even a remolded AoE one i could understand but a straight up repaint, yeah good luck with that especially since it doesnt even come with a figure to activate the gimmicks.

Well - durned if they weren't still there on the shelf as of today. If anybody really, REALLY wants to get RiD Stomp and Chomp Grimlock early, then hop onto your private lear jet and zip out to the Orem, Utah Toys R Us store where you can pick up TWO of them which are on the shelf at this very moment for $79.99 US.
SOMEBODY'S gonna get a stern talking to after this, I'll wager...
Also at the store are several 5 Step Megatronus figures, as well as several 'Clash Of' RiD deluxes, including Sideswipe and Bumblebee....

Well, this was sudden. On the very same day that Toysrus has a listing for Robots in Disguise Stomp n' Chomp Grimlock, which finally revealed this figure, we have a store sighting. Shockwave7 spotted this big guy at the Orem, Utah Toys R Us store. Here is what he had to say about his discovery:

I guess I should also say again that this thing was there in that store for two WEEKS before I posted these pictures today. I just didn't know that they hadn't announced yet. Go figure.....

Likewise.

I am mildly amused that the earlier Robots in Disguise was a brand that included repaints from earlier lines (like the Scourge/Bludgeon toys) and eventually became a brand to release "Whatever".
If you combine Adventures and RID-15 you have a line that includes; Movie, Animated, Classics/Combiner Wars & Prime Moulds in a single line.
I found that sort of ironic.

Overpriced piece of crap which will shelfwarm and collect dust.
By far the most purely stupid re-release of a mold I've ever seen.

Now if only they could get the good toys out that fast!
I guess, I dunno. I was under the (completely uneducated) assumption that Movie designs by the actual Movie crew were off-limits in non-Movie lines, and that Platinum Edition (that's what the G1 guys are, right?) might be juuuuust skirting the edge there due to being "special edition" instead of being in a new line entirely.
*wonders if they could reuse non-vehicle toys like Shockwave and Laserbeak*

I like them better on RiD Grimlock. On Bayformer Grimlock, they kind of make him look like a big pickle.
Shame they didn't do this right. A reshell plust replacing the Optimus figure with Bumblebee or Sideswipe (or Minitron, but i don't dare even hope) rather than just throwing it out would have helped a lot here.

The more I think about it the more I'm shocked that Hasbro didn't think that kids might like to play with One steps as a group and not pay attention to what franchise they are from and as such they should have retained the metal pieces in them - don't you think ?
Even if they didn't at the time have a plan to use them in a Grimlock repaint there is the idea of "Imaginative play" to consider. not to mention they might still be making One-steps for years to come it would have given them a unifying theme and future proofed them.
Retaining the metal piece could have been a feature they could use or ignore as they chose too like how Minicons were sold as toys to slap onto other toys - or just sold as small toys with the Powerlinking never even mentioned or even appropriate in some cases.
Instead giving some more people a reason to buy an expensive toy they've given some people a reason not too. which to be honest is a bit disappointing.
Putting that aside though I do still think the toy looks far better in green.

That's not irony. Coincidence and parallelism, sure, but not irony.
I do kind of wish this new grimlock at least had a new head, but it's not like I'm buying it either way. My friend brought up a point, though. This is the second big box item this year, and it might replace Devastator on shelves (at the places that carry both, which I think is only TRU). Not encouraging.

I just saw a couple of these Grimlocks in Toledo, which is odd because it usually takes forever for anything to reach us.

I know I can only speak for my local area but the "zomg SHALFWERMER!" comments on this are hilarious to me. The AOE version of this thing moved once Christmas shopping season hit last year. I had planned on waiting to get it on clearance, but if I had, it would not have been available. I think this is a lazy, albeit incredibly smart release. Low production cost, probably not a crazy high number of units produced, easy money, and maybe some happy kids that didn't get the AOE one they wanted. Plus, another Dinosaur on the shelf in Q4 to compete with Jurassic World for the attention of the five kids in the US that won't be going Star Wars crazy.

For the sake of clarity;
Irony is used in previous statement in the follow senses :
"A situation that is strange or funny because things happen in a way that seems to be the opposite of what you expected."
" incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result;"
In other words I didn't 'expect' the RID Brand of 2015 to share that feature of odd ball repaints with the brand of 2001-2003.
I didn't mean it in the "Opposites" meaning :
"irony: the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect."
Or
"the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning".
Those later meanings bare more resemblance to the tone of Sarcasm.
As I wasn't being sarcastic - I was commenting on an unexpected series of events and as such the usage is I feel perfectly valid.
If it helps you can take the intent of the original statement to be one of me commenting on something I found "amusingly incongruous" instead.

If anybody really, REALLY wants to get RiD Stomp and Chomp Grimlock early, then hop onto your private lear jet and zip out to the Orem, Utah Toys R Us store where you can pick up TWO of them which are on the shelf at this very moment for $79.99 US.
SOMEBODY'S gonna get a stern talking to after this, I'll wager...
Also at the store are several 5 Step Megatronus figures, as well as several 'Clash Of' RiD deluxes, including Sideswipe and Bumblebee....

thetoyshop.com often list things as out of stock before they come into stock on the Entertainer site they've done that with some Combiner Wars toys and more recently with the Rescue Bots Boat.
