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.  

 

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.

 

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...

 

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.

 

127

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

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

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.

 

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.
