Via Monster Japan, we have a first look at the Robots in Disguise One Step Changers Patrol Strongarm and Gold Armor Grimlock. These two figures are a part of the fifth assortment of Robots in Disguise One Step Changers – and they are both recolors of their existing One Step Changer toys. Strongarm now has a “low vis” black deco, while Grimlock has a homage-tastic grey and yellow deco referencing the original Generation 1 design.

Who is buying this stuff?! It looks like something you'd get as a 'prize' in a Christmas cracker

You really haven't been around here long enough to understand what Slingshot is referring to.
Stick around, you'll get it.

What's the point of your comment? To complain about people, then?
It's not really related to the topic, and it's not constructive, either. It's like the complaining bugs you, so you COMPLAIN about it? Why is so much irony lost here? I just think if someone hates the repaints, they have the right to say so. God forbid we react negatively to anything TF related? Yeah, some people complain too much, but that's a completely arbitrary, subjective judgment call.
If you really like these RID toys and their repaints, you should state it intelligently and try to get some naysayers to join your camp. But calling out complaints randomly?

Did G1-ish 1-Step RID Grimmy need to be made? I guess Hasbro is really trying to get the 30-somethings to buy the toys without their kids' consent? Cause I don't see how this would appeal to new generations. I realize some kids DO watch G1… but then why not reissue the original Grimmy in a special 2-pack? They could call it a "Pa and Son" pack!

That would require people to care about One-Step Changers to click a thread about them in the first place.
I'm surprised our resident arsonist hasn't chimed in with his usual routine yet.
Slingshot
No, I meant on this thread. I'm surprised, that after all the outrage, people haven't brought it up on here.
Nevermore
You must have missed all those numerous threads where people complained about exactly that.

It's funny how everyone is mad that RID is having repaints, but no one is complaining that CW is having two entire deluxe waves dedicated to repaints, and half the CW Legends line consists of repaints.
Just something to think about.

Well, one does need to have some reading comprehension.
MnemonicSyntax
That doesn't even make any sense.

So, essentially, never.

Omg, not even the g1 figures were this bad!
SG Roadbuster
ok, repaints of the one step crap, when are we gonna see some actual new figures come out of the rid line? preferably some warrior class decepticons.

off topic but Transformers Legends is still coming even thought they said it would end on August 15. IT IS THE 17

Am I the only one who gets a very "Beast Wars" Silverbolt vibe from this Grimlock in his robot mode? The grey body with black head/helmet.
