Yet more Robots in Disguise Clash of the Transformers toys have arrived at Canadian retail. This time, we’ve got the Warriors assortment, which consists of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Sideswipe. All three are redecos of their existing Robots in Disguise Warrior class offerings, and like all of the Clash of the Transformers releases seen thus far, all three are exclusive to Toys R Us. Sadly, the heads on Bumblebee and Sideswipe are not remolded to represent their new headgear shown in the package art.
This sighting comes to you via Matrix Holder of our sister site, Cybertron.CA! It is also reported that other Robots in Disguise offerings, including the Mini-Cons Wave 1, the Deployers, and the Mega Optimus Prime, have reached Canadian retail.

And I have conceded that G1 Masterpiece Bumblebee will be the last Bee I buy unless something REALLY amazing comes out…just my opinion. I love and even own a Camaro, but that is just not Bumblebee to me.

I think the Sideswipe might make an okay Blurr for those of us lacking one and not wanting to pay 3rd party pricing…

How so?
Nevermore
Are you actually still typing your responses or do you have a bot taking care of that?

That Optimus is actually half decent despite the lack of retooling.
The other two are meh.
Cheebs
Oh, hello Allspark blue.
Burn it with fire, like everything else NuRID touches.

Another Bumblebee to add to the collection!

TRU is going to regret this decision.

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.

Sideswipe looks nice but another Bee and Prime… eh I'll probably skip most of this toyline

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.

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.

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.

Needs to be on the America shelves NOW!!!

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.
rapid_fire
Just give us some Decepticons!!

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*

I think I'm one of the few that like the sideswipe colors. I wish they would make more figures with more radical colors.
Slingshot
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.
T-Logicon
That sideswipe looks interesting. The other 2 don't look all that much different.
