Haven't gotten enough of Drift from IDW and Age of Extinction yet? How about a little more Drift except this time around he's sporting a color scheme more indicative of Bludgeon. Check out the pictures below of Robots In Disguise Warrior Class Drift, which fellow Seibertronian Breakdown318 found on SmythsToys.com.

Hm, that's not a bad looking figure. The arms are a little weird, and the shins and feet are insanely huge, but the rest of it looks alright. Still, I think I'll limit myself to a Strongarm figure and a Bisk figure.

These retailer photos always take away some of the magic of the initial Hasbro released ones, bringing me back to reality.
Just look at the difference:

Yeah, the lifeless "pose" of the new photo brought to mind those spin-attack things.
Took me a minute to realize that the loops on his one hip are to store his swords.

While searching Amazon for a Drift listing I noticed that Warrior Steeljaw is in stock. Grimlock was in earlier today. It looks like that the three warrior figures come and go from Amazon. Something tells me 3rd party sellers are buying them up or Amazon only has low stock.
On another note judging by that head and arm design I'm calling it now, Drift is a rebuilt/upgraded version of Sideswipe.

Just found video reviews for RID Warrior Class Bumblebee, Strongarm, Grimlock, and Steeljaw!
As expected, I have no interest in Bumblebee or Grimlock. I'm REALLY liking Strongarm's toy, and Steeljaw is interesting, but poorly executed since it can't seem to stand up without having to balance on it's tail.

I know that I've defended unnecessary gaps in a Transformers construction before as it's been around for at least 20 years and oh so many figures have them. However those legs are pretty bad. I get why they're like that as with the way the rest of it's part are constructed, there isn't room anywhere else for them. As such, the ones on the legs were made even larger. I just think they could've at least put one or two cross bars in there. It doesn't look like it would need them structurally but at least it would've look more filled in. On a positive note, if you wanted your drift to have a bunch of guns instead of his swords, at least you'll have a place to store them.
It doesn't look to bad otherwise and it's legs don't really even look that bad. They're just big enough to make you think that maybe they're there for transformational purposes like Classics Sideswipe/Sunstreaker. I like the colors as we don't seem to get orange Transformers too often. It's color also allows one to display this Drift next to an AOE Drift and Generations Drift without a problem of them all looking alike.
I don't have specific shelves and when I display my figures, it's just a mashup of a bunch of different figures that I like regardless of toyline/continuity. So I would be displaying this, if/when I get it, with other Drifts at the same time. Hey, there's a few million people with my first name, and even hundreds with my first AND last names, so why can't Transformers share names too right? So to me, three drifts can exist at the same time and so can a "G1ish" Grimlock with the dreaded RID Constructibot Grimlock and the new RID Grimlock.

Yeesh, that review for Strongarm just shows how thin and flimsy these new figures are. Hearing that horrible cheap plastic-y clacking as it moves reminded me an awful lot of the crappy plastic Mega Bloks uses.
A shame as I really do like the character design. Oh well.

"Counts as" maybe? The way I am reading it, it's as if he doesnt have a Generations Drift and was hoping for a place holder.

so sorry. I haven't been clear in my posts. I forget that there is a whole bunch of others things we are talking about here.
I meant to say "counts as" as in, I was hoping I could get him to "count as" G1 Drift but this Drift is too different for my tastes. I like him though. He'd make a cool Yoketron or maybe even Banzai-tron. In fact, he is going to be my Yoketron I think.

While it's a fairly cool-looking design, especially when posed in an actual pose, this line really does seem like it was designed just for kids. I'm not feeling it. At least they are starting to be more creative with the secondary cast members. It's almost refreshing to see many aren't just the next update of the G1 cast.

I should start my own toy company, just so I can get a handle on the cost of producing an action figure with no hollowness, no gapes, seamless lines, and maybe lights and sound, with a bunch of accessories.

I avtually don't like Gen. Drift. He's too blocky, which and of itself is fine but it restricts posability severly. Yhe figure doesnt look like someone who would be light on theor feet with a sword.
The movie fig is thicktoo, but he's got more range of movement and the bulk is more evenly distributed.

So...Drift more or less just straight up rips off Bumblebee's transformation, with a slight change here and there. Yay, originality! Whee!
*sighs* I've yet to find a single figure from this line that has impressed me enough to buy them. They've come and gone on Amazon about three times and not once did I try and buy them. I watched the video review for Grimlock and found it to be a nice figure, but ridiculously small. Bumblebee is taller than Grimmy, for goodness sake.

Robots In Disguise has been arriving to retailers such as Amazon (US) and Smyth's (UK/Ireland) and they've been trickling out to the video reviewers, which we just reported on earlier this afternoon, and we have yet another video review to share with you:

I agree...with the exception of Grimlock, who should not be like he is. I'm not a diehard geewunner, but he really has been constantly the same every since G1, heck, Optimus has changed more then him!
Anyways, first wave, picking up Strongarm, because I like her design.
Drift I miiiight get, depends on how he comes across in a video review.
And since we got those little titan thingamajigs I'm guessing a Prowl, Cliffjumper, Hammer Strike and Thunderhoof are in the works. And going by the artwork, all four might be worth grabbing.

Oh. Joy. Another Bumblebee figure.
Sigh...
Ah well - I won't take it away from anyone if they want another. For my part, I don't foresee buying any Bbee figures from hereon out, unless a line comes out that's so good I feel inclined to collect all of them (even if there's a Bbee figure in the mix). So far though, this line doesn't look like it has that kind of pull.

Well, then that's an argument against itself since G1 Grimlock had two different character portrayals. Dimwitted cartoon version, and intelligent yet bombastic comics version.Fires_Of_Inferno wrote:Sabrblade wrote:All of the following have deviated from G1 Grimlock's form, deco, or both:

Masterpiece line aside Has/Tak has seriously gone backwards with its toy design in the last few years. It wasn't that long ago they were producing some really nice stuff, Prime FE series for example, but now we get this garbage.

Been messing with the Legion figures a lot. They're just as good as any of the other Legends/Cyberverse small guys that came before. No steps back there, and some really cool transformations to be quite honest. If you're into that size range you won't be disappointed.
The 3-Step "Hyperchange" Grimlock is simpler than I expected. I actually think the Transformation is fun, and the Dino mode is pretty good, but the robot mode lacks any articulation besides the shoulders which is very disappointing. Not the worst looking bot mode either, just can't do anything with it.
So yeah, if you like the old Cyberverse stuff, the Legions will not disappoint you. Hyperchange Grimlock is not recommended by me for anyone over the age of 7, unless you're really into the character or the kid stuff in general (no judgment here if you are).

I meant the character, color isn't a problem, but the constant of Grimlock has been he's big, and ego to match, has attitude and a relatively limited vocabulary. I'm omitting the RID (not RID15) version, because he wasn't even slightly the same. The main thing is that the new Grimlock appears to be an utter mockery to the character we all know and love.
Not trying to start a flamewar here, but the new Grimmy definitely rubs me the wrong way.

The larger sets include Sideswipe Roadway Rundown, Strongarm Capture Cruiser, Bumblebee Disc Demolisher, Optimus Prime Beast Blaster and Underbite Jet Pack Take Down.

Definitely want Underbite and Hammerstrike Kreons. I wonder if they'll eventually come out in the Custom sets... even if those don't seem to do so well.
I wish there was more variety in helmets. Nearly everyone is either 'Ironhide' or 'Knock Out'.
Although they actually made a faceplate-less Optimus helmet, which is one I've been wanting, so that's good.

I can't quite tell, but it looks like they might have gotten the message and added solid, character-colored helmets to those custom sets...

Alot of people seem to be pegging Steeljaw as the main villain, however it seems like Underbite is the big bad. My suspicion is that Steeljaw will be an Autobot convert

I got that feeling as well, and I don't know if it's just my bias for wolves or there's something about the design of the character that hints at him being more noble than his initial Decepticon allegiance, but I'd love to see him have a change of heart too. Of the new Decepticons, he seems the least "monstery" in bot mode. Also, G1 Steeljaw is an Autobot, and Hasbro has generally been trying to keep names with their original factions post Armada, even if the characters themselves are reimagined compared to their original depictions. Maybe his name is a hint for us of what's to come story-wise for the new cartoon?
By the way, is it just me, or does Underbite's Kreon bare more than a passing resemblance to G1 Galvatron?
