We’ve got word that the fourth assortment of Robots in Disguise Legion class toys have arrived at US retail. Arriving after the fifth assortment already hit, Legion Wave 4 adds the alpine fresh Alpine Strike Sideswipe into the mix. It’s also the assortment which was supposed to debut the Legion Night Ops Bumblebee – but as he’s also present in wave 5 Legion cases, he’s been appearing at US retail already.
This duo was spotted by TFW2005 member Mizzinno at the Mechanicsburg Walmart in Pennsylvania. Happy hunting, Transformers fans!

Saw those guys at Walmart in central Mass today. I bought the G1 color RID Grimlock.

Found these two at a Walmart in Ohio today too.

Thanks as always my friend! I will check. I have the BB.

Good luck flexark, how you get that Alpine (red alert) swipe. If not already. Think they are on Amazon already…

Love that Night Ops Bee! Who can he be repurposed as? He works as Nightbeat for now.

No worries, I could have just thought of searching for your posts in state sightings to begin with
Mizzinno
Yes, sorry.
Sol Fury
Which state, please? Since different parts of the country get things at different rates, it is useful to know.
Wait, hang on… Mechanicsburg Walmart in Pennsylvania, right?

Good old Wally world

Legions didn't really get noticeably smaller since the original Legends price point got introduced in 2005 (which was then renamed into "Legion Class" in 2011).

I have both. I forgot that I preordered them. I knew legions were small, but Primus on a pogo stick! These guys aren't all that much bigger then a transformed QT Transformer. Though I am a bit amazed by what features they were able to put on their faces.

Yeah, Night Ops Bumblebee was spotted before because he shipped again as part of wave 5, but Alpine Stike Sideswipe is thus far only confirmed for wave 4, so this is the "real deal". They've previously only been available online:
Robots In Disguise Legion Figures Wave 4 at BigBadToyStore – Transformer World 2005 – TFW2005.COM
This only applies to the US. They've been out at retail in Asia and Europe for months.
Which store did you find them at?

I know that Bee has been spotted, but Alpine SS I think is new.
