Wow. Those are some hollow-ass legs.

So it's for a good cause.

I saw the image on the main page which only showed his head and chest, and I thought, 'Hmm. That looks OK I guess.' Then I saw the full body shot and I have only two words.

Butt
Ugly

except for the hollow legs that is a hell of a nice figure, and the only screen accurate one so far

this looks amazing . why couldn't we have gotten this instead of the Deluxe class version.

this would look interesting next to CW leader Megatron , RiD2001 Side burn ( amazing figure BTW) and Metro-Plex and Devastator

Thr road to hell is paved with good intentions. I think that was a feature they should have just left out. Really dont like the hollow legs, good cause or not makes the toy seem less spectacular.

I wish people would stop complaining about his legs..."he has hollow legs....Boo Hoo" SO WHAT!!! lots of Transformers toys have hollow legs(Gen Metroplex, Platinum Supreme Starscream, Thrilling 30 Generations Skybite, Fort Max ect...to name but a few) but it doesn't make it a bad toy! YES...they could've made a part that folded over to cover up the hollowness but you only see the hollowness from certain angles.....depending on the way your looking at it

anywho...I'd've bought the figure...if....it happened to appear in the UK in the bricks & mortar stores, but it won't, as it's a Takara release.

This is a damn good toy. I recommend it.

I'm pretty much over this line. I picked up the first few Warrior Class figures like Grimlock, Strongarm and Steeljaw. The majority of the releases haven't interested me since
After having the few I got for a few months, I've decided to give them to my son to play with as he will get a lot more enjoyment out of them than I have.

I am considering picking up the Jazz just so I can repaint him as Stepper/Ricochet.

But there's already a Stepper coming from Takara.

this looks awesome

but i heard that another remolded version was coming out later as well, saw some protype pics a few weeks ago.

i got this guy coming, but i def like to see what the remold version turns out like, cuz it looked bad ass from the pics i saw.

I wish they did a better job on the weapons with this version, seem a lil puny for prime, esp the gun

Am I the only one who's really not excited by that "G1" Grimlock? I was interested when I first heard the rumors, but after seeing that it's movie colors, not G1 colors, I lost all interest. Don't need an orange Grimlock

I'm ok with this. These looks fairly decent

Those yellow wheels look dumb :/

Anyone know if they fixed the robot mode arm issue on Warrior Grimlock along with the new colors?

I wonder if Takara is going to do more of a proper gold on him...

I like that you can make him a psuedo dino headed monster too...

With the red paint on Phantomjaw's claws, it looks like he just killed something!

They look gorgeous

SillySpringer wrote:With the red paint on Phantomjaw's claws, it looks like he just killed something!

I think it's more to evoke a light bar without just casting it in translucent plastic.

Phantomjaw is simply awesome.

The basic Steeljaw figure while good on it's own is so much better in these colors. So glad I skipped the standard release for this pack.

I could do without the multicolor scan logos though....

Wish the steeljaw mold had slightly more defined/better-developed articulation, as it is, those shoulders/elbows are kinda terrible to look at

Agreed. That paint job is badass

Seibertron.com is proud to present our newest toy galleries, this time featuring the 2015 RID (Robots In Disguise) cartoon characters!

New Galleries: Minicon Deployers Fracture with Airazor and Drift with Jetstorm

Drift, the Samurai and Fracture, the...well, random nasty Decepticon (voiced by none other than Kevin Pollak!) compete head to head with their Mini-Con partners in tow. Each bot is dangerous on their own, but deadly when together!

The Deployer figures do fully transform from robot mode to vehicle and back, although it tends to be heavily simplified and is built around the launcher and it's gimmick. What gimmick, you ask? Well deployment of the Mini-Cons, of course!

In vehicle mode, Drift launches Jetstorm out of the nose of his car form to send him blazing (literally, I might add!) into battle! Because of this, Drift's car mode tends to suffer visually, where as Fracture wins this round because of his altmode being that of a hoverbike, he comes with a sidecar that doubles as his deployment launcher!

While the articulation and transformations are simplified, it is the first Deluxe Class sized Fracture we've received in the toyline, so far and much like Drift, you have to buy him to obtain the Mini-Con he's partnered with. (They're worth it. Fun little buggers!)

That's not all! Collect the entire waves of Mini-Cons for form Energon beasts using their translucent armor pieces! Wave 1 creates what seems to be an Energon tiger, while bits of wave 1 and most of the armor from wave 2 creates a shark! Who knows what wave 3 has in store, but it's going to be fun to see! (I personally cannot wait. These are fun little gadgets, both the Deployers and the Mini-Cons. Throw in the extra of Energon build a figure and you're in for a treat!)

Enough from me, on with the show! Click on any of the images below to be taken to each figure's respective gallery:

Not feeling these guys.

I will be sad if this is the only Warrior-scale Fracture we get. I love the character and wish he had a better toy. I like the character so much I'd go out and buy this in a heartbeat if I could remove the deployer attachment without having to use tools.

As is, saddened by missed opportunity.

I don't want Drift, just Jetstorm....
Fracture I like a little bit better, still want him more for the Mini-Con.

Also, shouldn't Slipstream be the one packaged with Drift? I seem to remember Jetstorm not like Drift that much.

Autobot032 wrote:Drift, the Samurai and Fracture, the...well, random nasty Decepticon

Bounty hunter.

Then again, so too was Drift a bounty hunter as well.

The overbearing gimmick, the lack of articulation, looking kinda like they couldn't decide on being main line or Construct-Bots, those are all pretty bad. But truth be told I think it's more damning the little guys can't plug into the big bots' arms.



.... and Drift STILL doesn't have his 'stache in the right color.

Noideaforaname wrote: But truth be told I think it's more damning the little guys can't plug into the big bots' arms.

It really is. I thought both Drifts should have tabs on his arms for Mini-Cons. I mean really, that's basically how Slipstream and Jetstorm travel. Same with Airazor and Divebomb. With Fracture that might be slightly harder to pull off though 'cause of the way they designed him. But with the Drifts? No excuse. Its a pair of small tabs on his fore-arms, that look to me like they end up as his car doors. At least on the deluxe figure.

I heard somewhere that any Mini-Con is compatible with either deployer, can any verify that?

If they weren't complete bricks, I'd be all over these guys

I (finally!) found wave 1 yesterday on my way home from work, and I picked up Divebomb on a whim. He's so cool! Not only are the colors fantastic, he's just a fun little guy to fiddle with. The clear energon bits are a big win for me, the effect is great in both modes.

Would it be nice if they had at least basic arm swivels? Yeah, but I knew what I was getting when I grabbed it, I just wanted to snag one to check out. It's won me over on the mini-con portion of the line for sure.

The deployers on the other hand... well they're kinda terrible. I don't plan to pick up either of them, but I sincerely hope we get a proper deluxe Fracture at some point down the line.

They're not just 'kinda', they definitely are terrible. It would have been cool, if it had been a slot launcher in they're chest, and were also satisfying voyager class figures; but, as they are - definitely garbage

The warriors look very good. The deployers are ok, but I wish they weren't all bricks

Rounding out the deluge of new galleries for Robots in Disguise and Transformers Adventures toys comes the three most recent Takara Warrior Class figures: Drift, Sideswipe and Jazz! It is very interesting how the Takara deco can either really improve the figure, like in the case of Jazz' vehicle mode (you have to see it to believe it) or a different shade of plastic, like with Sideswipe and Drift. Take a look and let us know which of these is worth importing! All figures available for your perusal by clicking on any image below, of course.

Oh, I'm right there with you. This is straight-up garbage (just remember, all that paint was sacrificed for all of those easy-change pieces of $hit)

I am still not over that heavy retooling spent on those 3 step changers.

Yup, just remember that every time you wonder where all the 's are


It may be a little vicious (yet, probably true), but between these easy-things, and the existence of a superior simple series, I just think the rid'15 easy-things have 'corporate suit decision' scribbled all over them

Sideswipe and Drift are also significantly different. Different shades or "oranges" on Drift and "reds" on Sideswipe. Sideswipe also has different text and the black in his vehicle mode is replaced with red on Takara's version. Sideswipe's wheels are also different. Drift has red paint on his vehicle mode doors, plus his goatee is painted.

Yeah, TT's Drift is staggeringly better on all accounts (especially his face)

How are the shoulders on Adventure Sideswipe? Did Takara fix them?

Doubtful, apparently some of the 'clash' sideswipes' shoulders hold

The shoulders seem the same on Takara's version. Haven't opened my Clash of the Transformers Sideswipe yet. Will update you guys when I do his gallery in the next week hopefully.
