    The Robots in Disguise series has been REMARKABLY lacking in Decepticons thus far, with only ONE villainous Warrior in the early waves (though Takara did attempt to buff up enemy numbers a bit with some repaints).

    And while the actual future of the show remains somewhat in doubt, new Warrior-class toys are making their way to shelves- FINALLY adding some new bad guys to the ranks! First among these is Fracture, a Decepticon bounty hunter usually more interested in mayhem than reward.

    Fracture's Vehicle Mode is a motorcycle, generally referred to as "chopper-style." Its a fairly basic Vehicle and it balances well enough thanks to a well-placed kickstand and weapon storage.

    After a fairly simple transformation we get Fracture's Robot Mode. The design is pretty good but I definitely find it lacking; anyone who watches the show knows that Fracture has two Mini-con servants, Divebomb and Airrazor, that usually appear in fights with him.I keep wishing NuRID had a proper Voyager-class; this Minicon gimmick with Fracture could easily be recreated with a larger figure...

    For the most part though this is a fun Warrior-class figure- articulation in all the right places (though he lacks a waist) and a pretty interesting blaster/club weapon.

    If you're not interested in this series I doubt Fracture will be the figure to win you over for good, but if you ARE interested in Warrior-class than Fracture is definitely a win. Good design and a nice amount of play value. Definitely worth checking out!

    While disliking the line as a whole, this is the only figure outside of Megatronus that I'll actively look for. I'm a sucker for biker bots, and he looks interesting enough to ignore what line it comes from.
    He will be repurposed as Thrust on my shelf.

    I didn't even know he was out. He looks pretty good, especially that alt mode.

    I have to agree, this guy is one of the few from the line I'll be actively looking for

    This line keeps getting better and better. The funny thing is that these guys have better quality than the CW figures.
    Back to the main point, Fracture looks beautiful and I can't wait to get rid of my One Step figure. To be honest, I could care more or less about the mini con gimmick.

    I still need to pick up this guy's Minicons, but with the one only being available as a set, I just can't bring myself to do it.

    Same thing with Drift's Minicons.

    looks cool to me. Not a huge RID fan, but looks real fun. I wonder if a Joe can ride the bike mode.

    This one looks by far the best figure in the entire RID15 line.

    No, this is the Warrior/Deluxe class figure. That is crap.

    I finally got Fracture, and it pains me to say that I absolutely love it! The transformation is fun, the figure is nicely articulated and the overall play value is high.
    The gun mounts on the side a bit weirdly, but it doesn't bother me. The gun is nicely detailed and looks pretty awesome underslung (you have to bend the wrist half way to get this hold). Really, the only thing bothersome is that he's pretty short. I believe he may even be a fraction shorter than Arcee, but it's hard to tell with the shoulder pieces.

    SnakeEyes- Unfortunately, he's not really ride-able. The frame of the bike is VERY wide. I don't think even the Barronness's legs stretch that far.

    I know this is the Warrior. He was saying he wished there was a Voyager sized figure with the Minicon deployed gimmick, which is what I linked to.

    Gotcha.
    Isn't the deployer as big as a larger deluxe?

    Yes, but they feel as cheap as a one step figure.
