    Looks like they're doing a Red Alert homage with Sideswipe. Makes sense, I guess.

    More non-stop news from a line that has been peg warming almost instantly. How about something from the line that sells out instantly

    THIS. Or more precisely, 'the line that CAN'T BE FOUND AND WHEN IT IS IT SELLS OUT INSTANTLY"

    It's a news post about something Transformers related, which is what this site is all about.

    doesn't matter how successful a line may or may not be, if it's transformers, its posted. simple.

    with 5000 odd comments i would of thought that would be obvious. I and many others actually enjoy this line for what it is.

    Kind of a weird color scheme for Sideswipe, but for some reason I like it.

    Make it Silver instead of white and we got a homage to the Movieverse.

    Not telling anyone not too but as a consumer in the majority id like to see news from what most of us are shelling out our hard earned money on not crap that's being shoved down our throats. If rid fans are in such abundance go buy some toys then ;)

    This. I enjoy the line in most cases and I'm looking forward to these.

    Exactly, how's about getting the shelfwarmers off the shelf before you churn out more of them.

    The Cyberverse figures seem to move quite well locally, so it's good seeing more on the way. It's the larger ones that warm the pegs.

    As for these, I'm seeing nothing but custom potential here, so no complaints from me.

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Do you think that Hasbros desire is to be unable to keep Transformers in stock? That good sales = empty pegs = Everyone happy? Hows that working for Nintendo right now with Amiibos?

    They are, that's why stores are stocking so much more RiD than Generations

    Warrior Figures move really fast, but 3 step figures don't move at all.
    One step and Legends figures fly off the shelves really fast as well

    Lol I check every day bud they are not flying off shelves .if you're reasoning was sound they would be doing the same with combiner wars. As it stands the generation's remain empty aside from aoe and bw .I have bought 13 combiner wars figures and would of bought more if they had them in stock. How many rid have you purchased?

    No I think they are pushing the product that they hope sells well because they have a cartoon and a campaign. while ignoring the one that does sell because it's not in their ill fated scheme.
