New images of RID 2015 Wave 4 Warrior and Legion figures have been found on Robot Kingdom’s Facebook Page. We now have a good look at both Grimlock’s and Bumblebee’s repaints.
Gold Armor Grimlock seems to be a straight up repaint with a G1-style scheme, and a new head sculpt. Elbows look unchanged, but unknown if the issue with the first Grimlock has been fixed.
Stealth Bumblebee gets a color reversal… and now has yellow wheels!
Both waves are in stock and available for order!

The orange doesn't look that bad at all. Besides we should all be more concerned about the arms breaking. I really hope they fix it because Grimlock is one of the few mold that looked good in the line.
also I still am digging that Bumblebee.

Hmmm so not orange orange but AOE Grimlock Orange. Still doesn't look bad just really want to know if the arm problem is fixed. Try looking it up for the Adventure version of Grimlock but haven't come across anything even mentioning it.

For those complaining about Grimlock's colors based on one photo with bad lighting, here's another photo from Action Robo:

Somebody put yellow plastic pellets instead of black plastic in the tire vat at the factory?!!
Oh well, I like Jazz okay, maybe I'll pick him up.

The tires could be an easy fix with a simple swap.

Maybe 2011 then? I know there was a year they showed practically nothing. Not talking about last year.

Other than the ugly yellow tires. I kind of want to get this Bumblebee repaint.

The Grimlock I at least half dig. It has potential. Maybe they changed it orange to go with the anime? Doubtful because its usually lame when they have a lame explanation of recolors in the toon to sell repaints. Animated did ok.with it so its possible
Bumblebee MIGHT look ok if you pop off your RID Bee ans swap with this Bumblebees wheels to give him all black look. But.if they.were gonna turn him black he should be ALL black wheels and details IMO

Huh? This is the amount of Generations that Hasbro revealed at the past few BotCons:
2014: 6 Legends, 2 Deluxes, 2 Voyagers, 2 Leaders
2013: 4 Legends, 7 Deluxes, 3 Voyagers
2012: 2 Legends, 5 Deluxes, 2 Voyagers
At 2014 they'd been forbidden from doing a full reveal of Combiner Wars, but they still showed off the first waves of Legends and Leader, Optimus (sans combination) and a silhouette of Superion. And that was on top of the late-2014 stuff they revealed too.

There was a year a couple of years back when Hasbro didn't even preview anything because SDCC was coming up. What? Don't people pay shit tons to go to BotCon now? I think the fans who are crazy enough about TFs to be completely blind to the Club's complete lack of care deserve something more than a see you next tuesday maneuver.
Then again, if I was showing off things like these…

People used to complain that Hasbro would "preview" toys at BotCon which the fans had already seen as stolen samples.
This year it could very well be Hasbro "previewing" toys at BotCon which are already officially out at retail in Hong Kong.

Grimlock finally has caught my interest with the G1 color scheme. I'd rather see it in person to make my final decision. So far RID Warrior TF's have been hit or miss for me.
Those yellow wheels and tires sure look spiffy on Stealth Bumblebee!
Not.

I dig them and I like both molds so I'll pick these up since I'm completing the RID Warriors anyway.
Can't wait until we get to those rumored "Decepticon Only" waves. Bring on Thunderhoof!

I normally try to see Hasbro's reasoning for their decisions, but hot dang this line is making that hard for me. It would take literally a few minutes for somebody with almost no photoshop experience to recolor the packaging art, and those bright yellow, unpainted clip on wheels have got to be a joke. I mean, maybe if it was a legion figure or they were clear yellow they could pass off as energized or something, but that is atrocious for a toy that costs between 15 and 20 dollars.
Grimlock looks nice though! Definitely not 15-20 bucks nice, unfortunately. My only guess is that they expected RID to not do very well, so they're investing their money in Combiner Wars which, although it has had some iffy figures, has been a home run on the whole, which I applaud them for.

wait, does he have a new head? it looks the same but the image is blurry…

That Grimlock is Beautiful! It shall be mine!

I agree, it feels like Hasbro didn't want to put much effort in RID this year, all of which most likely went to Combiner Wars.
I wanted to get Grimlock but the whole arm situation turned me off.
I guess that makes Halloween colour the greatest then?
NemiMonkey
Well that is definitely orange plastic and paint. Not as bothered by it as some people are. The only thing keeping me from saying this is a definite buy would be the arm issue. IF they fix it he is bought.
Well I wouldn't say that. The Movie Deluxe Brawl had arm issues that were fixed for that Dessert release so there is hope.
