    (Just for the sake of completeness, not trying to claim this isn't news)

    These have been previously glimpsed via the RID mobile app and previewed via Figure Oh! magazine.

    Allspark Blue appears to be making a comeback.

    I still wanna know where Pumpkin Optimus Prime is gonna appear. (an easy assumption for 'when' would be around October)

    A
    season one finale
    repaint of Sideswipe won't make make me warrant a double dip repaint purchase cause of how horrible the mold is. Also that Bumblebee is kind of a fail too since they didn't even bother to repaint/ remold the head. To be honest the Optimus so far is the best out of them and it is still a shame Strongarm along with Sideswipe not including a
    Bumblebee sword
    as well.

    That sideswipe looks interesting. The other 2 don't look all that much different.

    Umm...sorry to break it to you... But I think that was a in-game variant, and was not going to be released as a toy.
    I'll get Sideswipe since he's such a badass in those colors, but I'm dissappointed that Optimus doesn't have a retooled chest when his 3 step version was remolded.

    I think I'm one of the few that like the sideswipe colors. I wish they would make more figures with more radical colors.

    I saw them today at 4pm at my TRU and decided against picking them up. I have the original Prime release that I wrist modded and I'm getting the takara Scourge repaint so I don't need another prime mold for $23 after taxes. I picked up the regular release of Sideswipe this past week with a raincheck and it is garbage because of those shoulders and he will be returned tomorrow so I wont be picking up a $23 repaint of him, haha. Finally we have Bumblebee, who needs another repaint of bumble bee who is the most repainted figure in TF history bah. my rant is ovah haha. I would have picked up a screen accurate Strong arm but they didnt make one so *rasberry noise*

    Why would they give us Decepticons when they can just keep giving us repaints. ok, they did have the decepticon deployer on the shelf too but he is crap with no articulation and is basicall a legends class upscaled to a deluxe. Is this the first TF show that has blatenly not released any bad guys except for that 1 in the first wave? Its a pretty one sided battle eh, prime, drift, strong arm, sideswipe, Grimlock and bumble bee vs that lone decepticon escapee haha.

    I have never seen this before....I'm guessing Hasbro was going to announce this at SDCC next week.

    Bumblebee and Sideswipe are meh but I think i want that Optimus.

    TRU exclusives, eh? That means we'll have to shell out 20 bucks a pop for these doesn't it? Does price match work on the size class or does it have to be the individual figure? If it's the latter, then I'm passing, though I'd only be getting Prime. I like the RID figures, but I don't $20 like them.

    So Hasbro spent money on new card art for limited-edition store exclusive redecos, but decided not to bother giving new card art for the regular (mass) release redecos of toys like (gold) Grimlock and (black) Bumblebee. :rolleyes2

    First I heard of these. I echo what some have said about Sideswipe and BB, but Prime does not look bad at all in those colors. Prime's mold, albeit small, is not a bad figure, imo. I'd buy it for $10 but probably have to pass if they end up being around $20+ at TRU retail.

    TRU is going to regret this decision.

    Oh, hello Allspark blue.

    Burn it with fire, like everything else NuRID touches.
