    This just might convince me to get my first RID toy.The car modes for the bots are enough to justify buying em.

    Seems that all the warrior class figures that transform into cars feature almost the same transformation. I got bumble bee and drift. Not sure I will get any others.

    Oh yes, I've waited far too long for this moment. The mismatch red is still sore on the eyes, but Sideswipe's bought on sight (assuming Takara doesn't reveal their version soon enough for my patience XD) That front fender engineering looks ace, though I wonder if his sword on the back is held there by a clip or simply by friction.

    He will be the second (or third) one I pick up. Got drift. Without the stupid st Kerr he is pretty cool. May get Grimmy. Others I can pass on. If they release the Nemesis Prime over here, I may get him.

    My wallet is happy about another RID pass. Looks better than the other versions, but still looks like the cheap toy that it is.

    There's a slot on the car roof, that I'm assuming ends up on the back in bot mode, that the sword can tab into.

    Unless they make a voyager(or bigger) size Grimlock, and I'm not counting the 3-step size one, then I'll start collecting these.

    Otherwise I'll just be getting Strongarm, and that's it.

    I guess it's not that bad considering that SideSwipe, Bumblebee, etc., were all mono-designed to look as though they were all carved from wedge-shaped pink erasers. How many bot-designs can be squeezed out of a wedge anyway? I'm afraid that the RID series will try to find out. (Should they be called Wedgie-bots? :D )

    Very nice, would look even better with a proper paintjob, and it's a shame about the door arms, but never mind, he's solid enough.

    I like him. I can excuse the backpack just because his on-screen design is so streamlined, I can't imagine how they'd work it out. So, the door arms are probably the worst part of him.
    A minor issue in my eyes. I still really like how he looks.

    Yep, he and Jazz are bought as soon as I can get my claws on 'em. I'm actually impressed by how good and show accurate Sideswipe is. Love the crap out of him. This waiting shit, it sucks.

    Going have to get this for the TF15 collection. But I really wish they add more cons in the warrior class.

    Sideswipe is by far the best looking figure out of the RID line so far
