For fans who have been following the Transformers Robot In Disguise toyline, chances are they are still waiting for more on screen characters to be represented in toy form. Well fret no more because board member Nevermore has shared his findings of new preorder listing from online retailer ToyWiz.
First off, we have 1 Step Changers Quillfire, which marks the first figure made in his likeness. Then we have three new Warrior Class figure preorders listed, they are Decepticon Fracture, Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime, and Night Strike Bumblebee (which appears to be a different listing from already released Night Ops Bumblebee). These are all scheduled to be released between November and December 2015.
This is certainly a good sign showing that Robot In Disguise toys are still continuing, and perhaps hints that we may be seeing more from this toyline during New York Comic Con in October. Checkout the listings and share your thoughts with us on the boards.

I didn't include the Titans, Tiny Titans or Kreo RID Bumblebees, because I don't think anyone deserves that sort of visual torture.

Wow, every RID Bumblebee toy in one spot. That's a lot of self-inflicted punishment right there.

And for the comparison photos.
First (2015) Bumblebee – Night Ops Bumblebee – JP Adventure Supreme Mode Bumblebee – Night Strike Bumblebee. (missing the Clash Bumblebee as it wasn't released in my area)
Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime – (2015) Optimus Prime. (missing Clash Optimus Prime as it wasn't released in my area)
Legion (Clash) Megatronus – Ultra (Clash) Megatronus – Warrior (2016) Megatronus. (I don't have the Warrior Clash Megatronus as it wasn't released here.)
(back) Warrior Fracture – Deployer Fracture – One-step Fracture.
(front) Tiny Titan Fracture – Kreon Fracture.
Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime with all of the transforming 2015 Hasbro RID Optimus Prime toys, except Target 1-step, Clash Warrior & 3-step (those three weren't released here, and they aren't sold by online stores that ship to here).
Night Strike Bumblebee with all of the transforming 2015 Hasbro RID Bumblebee toys, except Clash Warrior & 3-step (both weren't released here so I haven't been able to get them yet).
Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime – (2015) Optimus Prime.
First (2015) Bumblebee – Night Ops Bumblebee – JP Adventure Supreme Mode Bumblebee – Night Strike Bumblebee.
When I first transformed Night Strike Bumblebee I thought it was missing the second stripe along the top of the car, but it is just a single stripe on the packaging. Since the RID Game app recycles alt-modes of characters in the game, the Night Strike Bumblebee in the game has the same stripes as the 2015 Bumblebee.
The first (2015) Bumblebee had better matching yellows than the Japanese and Night Strike versions.

Now that I've got the new four, here are some photos, including some comparisons, for you to enjoy.

(I watermarked some of the images in case other sites "borrow" them without credit, but I kept it small and in the corners so that it doesn't look like I'm promoting another fansite.)

I think this (in Australia) is the first regular retail sighting in the world of the new RID Warriors, that isn't an online store or independent store buying from an online store.

Really? TWO different One-step molds for Bee and Swipe?
Hasbro can't be that desparate…can they?
At least the new Decepticons look decent.
griffin-of-oz
I'll check…
Ah, it is too.
The parts on Bumblebee match the 2015 Sideswipe toy (the front of the car), which probably means a remold… and from what I can tell on the tiny blurry transformation steps on the packaging, the 2016 Sideswipe toy looks like it might be a remold of the Drift toy, or have the same engineering.
Nevermore
Oh.
I assume Sideswipe is a new scupt as well then.
Timothy.R
why anyone would order anything from toywiz is beyond me.
i'm also surprised that they're selling stuff through walmart's website.. two companies that are on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum. walmart who wants to sell everything as cheaply as possible and toywiz who wants to charge a fortune for whatever they can.

It's a new mold Bumblebee (you can see different gaps between parts), and is probably the one we saw for the JP Adventure line for early next year.

In stock at Entertainment Earth:
Warrior Class wave 5
One-Step Changers wave whatever
Surprisingly, the One-Step Changer wave features the original decos of Bumblebee and Sideswipe again, but we do also get a first look at Springload and Quillfire in packaging:

Big Bad Toy Store preorders added to the first post.
Nevermore
One-Step Changers now all up for preorder at ToyWiz.

Good thing that stores in my area have like 4 or 5 OP's and BB's still on pegs, but only like… One Steeljaw and no Strongarms left at all.
They could always use more Primes and Bees.
Nevermore
One-Step Changers now also listed at Entertainment Earth.
Might include new redecos of Bumblebee and Sideswipe.
Nevermore
Now listed at BBCW Distributors as one wave:
"Warriors Class Figure Assortment – AS08", ETA November, contains:
Blizzard Strike Optiums Prime, Decepticon Fracture, Megatronus, Night Strike Bumblebee
(No photos yet, but we saw test shots of Fracture and Megatronus)
So these might come out as one wave after all, even though ToyWiz is still listing Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime and Fracture for November and Night Strike Bumblebee and Megatronus for December.
Also listed at BBCW Distributors: "One Step Changers Assortment – AS08", ETA November, contains: Springload and Quillfire. ToyWiz is currently only listing Quillfire, but we got a listing for Springload back in February.
