Thanks to fellow TFW2005 member Yaujta for snapping a picture at a Hagerstown, Maryland Wal-Mart of Transformers: Robots in Disguise Gold Armor Grimlock. Gold Armor Grimlock is a part of Wave 5 of the RID One Step Changers along with Patrol Strongarm, who has also been reported.
Good luck finding this newly released toy for those of you who are interested!

You know, I have never seen CW Ultra Magnus in any store in So Cal or WA state. Have seen any in the wild, lol?

The Warrior Class figure is not news. It was found back in August.
Robots In Disguise Wave 4 Warrior Class Out At US Retail – Transformer World 2005 – TFW2005.COM
But since the One-Step Changer and the Warrior Class figure are not the same figure, one of them being out does not automatically make the other one released as well.

Did not know this was news. Saw the Warrior class figure on Saturday in Target in NC.

I've been wondering where the f*ck he went! I mean, instead of G1 1-step [craptacular] Grimlock, Wal-mart could be getting some CW toys… my local WM's seem to only stock 1-steps… which is perplexing as I don't see them really move.

Saw Grimlock, Patrol Strongarm, and a restock of the Protectobot limbs at the Leominster, MA Walmart tonight.

Still not found at US retail: Combiner Wars Voyager Class Battle Core Optimus Prime.
(Just in case people think he's already been reported or something.)

Carlisle Walmart, Strongarm confirmed.

I know same here and I saw someone post a sighting for the warrior version so thats what also made me think it was already spotted.

I got the non onestep version this morning at a Fred Meyers in Canby OR. Hope this helps a bit, and they only had the single figure.

hell i dont keep up with these and had no idea this was newsworthy. my walmart in waverly iowa has had these for at least a week and half. Patrol strongarm, ninja sideswipe, and gold armor grimlock
Autovolt 127
Pretty much.

I always take pictures, just in case. Never know, and in this instance, it paid off.

Of course, what would a first retail sighting of a new toy be without the inevitable "saw this last week, didn't know it was news" responses.

Looks okay, but the Warrior version I got a couple of weeks ago is better.
Nerdicon
Saw him and the Deluxe version at Target in D'iberville MS a few days ago. Not sure if I want it or not.

Perhaps K-Mart will be an easy destination to find these. I have seen plenty of RID toys at every single local K-Mart store I've gone to.

Oh sh!t I thought he was spotted awhile ago because I saw him last week in cottonwood arizona walmart.
