Check my first post.

 

oh yeah, i knew that. was just testing you  

so deluxes are too big for one steps going from this shot:

maybe legion steeljaw would work better? hopefully? the one step looks plain awful...

 

Apparently so.

I wouldn't mind a bigger Underbite. I really like his character design.

 

i'm really banking a good toy of clampdown. between the hilarious robot mode and the ridiculous vehicle mode that's basically a scion xB with faux wood panelling he's definitely one of my favorite designs.

 

I want toys of them all, really. All the 'cons are pretty sweet. I really, really love 'em.

 

I gotta say, I bought this guy today, based upon what you said in the OP, and you know what? I love this guy. All these new RID One Steps are better than the AoE One Steps, and harken back to the Animated Activators!

This is not a bad thing. Like, at all.

 

Hasbro should turn this into an electronic talking dog

 

Is the part in vehicle mode that covers his face supposed to be floppy? Maybe I'm just failing at transforming a toy designed for little kids.

Still, this guy is pretty neat. Awesome transformation.

EDIT: Shitty comparison pics with Legion Steeljaw.

 

Got one yesterday. Wouldn't stay transformed the first 20 times or so, then started working properly. Fun little toy.

 

This toy never works. It won't transform Into robot mode, and now it can't even transform correctly into vehicle mode  
Probably the worst toy I've ever bought from a TF line.
I might try to get a new one to see if it'll work but I doubt it will.

 

I had the same issue, but then I tried the fix where you pull his rear hips outwards while in vehicle mode until you hear a click. That solved it. Went from my most disappointing purchase to a solid toy.

But I still have the problem of the chest piece (which is meant to cover the face in vehicle mode) being floppy in vehicle mode. Any way to tighten it?

 

Robot Mode: Underbite, portraying the biggest and arguably most powerful Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise series, is… just adorable. Sorry, I had to say that. Look at him, he’s so tiny and cute! Who’s a big, bad Chompazoid? Yes, you are!

Apart from its inherent cuteness, there is not a whole lot you can do here, though. The back of the head features the lever for his spring-powered jaw, there is some very limited leg articulation, and... yeah, that’s pretty much it. Important note: Underbite’s beast/robot mode is not the “default mode” of this toy, as it needs a tensed spring to remain locked in. Transforming it a couple of times back and forth can lead to wearing out the little piece of plastic that locks the beast mode into place.

So bottom line: cute to look at, but little more than that, I fear.

Alternate Mode: Underbite folds down into a non-Earth vehicle mode, somewhat resembling a futuristic tank. It’s from here you can trigger the 1-Step automatic transformation of the figure by pressing the back legs together. The vehicle itself is nothing special, resembling the vehicle mode Underbite used in the cartoon, and that’s pretty much all I can write here. Sufficient for this figure, but no more than that.

Remarks: Underbite was the very first bad guy Team Bumblebee fought in the 2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon and he was a tough one. As a so-called Chompazoid he gets stronger the more metal he eats, he allegedly consumed an entire city on Cybertron, and it took assistance from Optimus Prime’s ghost to take him down. He was later freed to join Steeljaw’s gang, imprisoned again, and then freed again.

As far as the toy goes, Underbite seems to share the fate of his direct predecessor, Prime Breakdown, as being the largest of the Decepticons in the cartoon, but not getting a toy anywhere near that scale (at least Breakdown got one from Takara). Apart from this 1-Step Changer here all he has gotten so far is a Legion-class mold, nothing else. So instead of towering over everybody, he appears more like a doggy among the Warrior-class figures from RID. Too bad. Apart from the scale issue the figure isn’t bad. It’s a toy to play with for kids and it does that job pretty well, so no complaints. I just wish we’d gotten a bigger one for those of us in the double digit age range, too.
