    I apologize for the lack of photo quality, but... yeah. I own all the molds originally designed for Car robots/RID now.

    Not pictured: Scourge and Mega-Octane, as they were designed for previous toylines.

    I should probably get the Dreadwind/Smokejumper set and maaaaaaaaaybe the new Sky-byte when it comes out.

    Nice , I am working toward this as well. I currently have Ultra Magnus, Landfill and X-Brawn.

    I also have Scourge/Black convoy*, Ruination,Sky-byte and the Predacon trio.

    *mine is a Black Convoy ( South Korean release i believe. )

    You're gonna want to get an Optimus Prime/Fire convoy to go with Magnus. Omega Prime/God Fire Convoy is a thing of beauty.

    I accidentally almost did this. Only missing the Autobot Brothers at the moment. Congrats on completing an awesome set of molds.

    It says something that almost all these molds are dead.

    I think it's just Rail Racer and Megatron/Galvatron that still work. They got good mileage and were/are kickass.

    Sadly I broke my Railspike T_T

    Well, there was some good respect shown by Hasbro when they re-issued Prime and Magnus in the Cybertron line.

    Well most of them were G2 repaints, but he should have the Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Scourge, and X-Brawn spychangers, to complete the new molds, as those were all made new for R.I.D.

    By the same reckoning, the Dreadwind/Smokejumper set shouldn't be included as they were designed for G2.

    I was just saying that I want to pick them up at some point.

    But I forgot all about the Spychangers. Ah well, at least they'll be cheap.

    Congrats! RiD is still one of the best toylines. It got me back into collecting, and some of the molds, especially the Car Brothers and Optimus, put most modern molds to shame.

    I recently did the opposite. I was only missing a few things, then sold off a large chunk of my collection, and now my RiD line up is basically just Fire Convoy and Super X-Brawn. It's been hard getting used to the idea I will likely never own Magnus, Scourge, and Rail Racer again.

    It's crazy, really-- these figures are on par with the TFs that came around in 2009, insane transformation schemes and all. Have you SEEN how the Car brothers transform? They are easily some of the most intricate figures I've ever fiddled with. (Though to be fair, Sideburn is a shellformer, so...)

    The Car Bros. are all shellformers.

    Sideburn moreso.

    The only "shell" I can think of on the X-brawn mold is the roof and doors, and even then those don't run the risk of popping off.

    Anyone else think the Autobot Brothers have a similar aesthetic to the Bayformers?

    I love this line. I've a quite a few of the toys:

    Ultra Magnus
    Fire Convoy
    Megatron
    Scourge (Archforce repaint)
    Prowl (Blue and White versions. The latter I think would make a cool army builder)
    Sideburn (red version)
    Dreadwind
    Smokejumper
    Wedge
    Grimlock
    Hightower
    Heavy Load
    Ironhide
    Prowl2
    Sideswipe
    Sideburn
    REV
    WARS
    Mirage
    Crosswise
    Hotshot
    Daytonus
    Armourhide (oversized deluxe KO)
    Gasskunk
    Dark Scream
    Slapper

    I like to think the Universe repaints like Devestator, Ratchet and Inferno along with the Botcon sisters all originate from the RIDverse. It needs more characters, especially Decepticons.
