Hasbro have posted some official CG images of the Toys R Us exclusive Clash of the Transformers Warriors toys on their Pulse website. The images showcase the trio of Autobots Optimus Prime, Sideswipe, and Bumblebee in the CG mock toy style images we saw a bunch of post SDCC, along with the new Decepticon Warrior, Megatronus. The three Autobots are available now, as is Megatronus – though Hasbro are saying “November” for him on their site, which is we presume when he’s likely to be showing up a bit more widely and hitting saturation.
Those concerned about Fracture ending up as a Toys R Us exclusive – you’ll be happy to know that he’s not listed as a part of the exclusive lineup in this update, hopefully securing him as a wider release.
Check out the images after the break.

I just saw the images of that new Megatronus figure. So glad I saw this before I ended up settling for one of the other figures. Unlike the other two figures this one actually has accurate cannons on his arms rather than the cannon from vehicle mode being one solid piece that attaches to his arm like Megatron's Fusion cannon. It's way more articulated than the other two figures. And the best part, his head is molded with the mask on which is how I prefer him to look.
The only complaint I have with this figure are the white paint apps which were more of a dark grey in the animation model but the other two figures have that same issue. Plus it's something I could easily fix so still a great representation of the character over all.
Now if only I could see some colored images of a Warrior class Fracture. I don't really care for the One Step Changer or the Deployer but I really want a Fracture.

Megatronus looks awful.

The first retail OP warrior figure had the bottom portion of his hands and arms covered by the grill panel. Now it looks like they fixed that, but I'm not sure.

what do you mean by modded arms?

Megatronus' tank mode reminds me of a HISS tank

Same here. I hope the mysterious "Transformers Adventure TAVVS – 06 Strongarm Battle Mode & Sideswipe Battle Mode With Fixit" is her armor mode, but who knows?

True, but it matches better than Bumblebee's colors at least.

Eh. Cool?
The truck kibble isn't covering his hands.

Well, this version of the "warrior" Prime I may actually buy. The basic one is a bit too poor on paint apps for my taste.
Not like this one is a whole lot of difference, but still a better choice…

There's something…very, very phallic about the former 13's alt mode. The bayonet makes it worse.
Also, the Prime redeco reminds me of the Hasbro Galaxy Force Prime's colors…

Megatronus… I like him, I want him.
But if it's Clash of the Transformers, that means he's a TRU exclusive. Which means he'll be 20 bucks 😐
And I'm not buying that. Hopefully it's just the facemask version that's exclusive. I could go for a non-facemask version released at regular retail (even though I do love that facemask…).

I need that Megatronus!
and maybe Sideswipe too, but I hope we can have the "armor" mode of Strongarm too so we can have the 3 in their saint seiya form that will be great for my collection

These have been out at Tru retial for a couple of months. Nothing new besides Megatronus.

Because adding light blue to a white-and-blue character really wouldn't be much of a change in colors?

The most interesting think in that article was the it was written by Mark Webber!
(Or am I the only F1 fan here?)

Is that faceplate molded in or retractable?

It's too bad they won't ever be able to defeat Megatronus though because THEY FORGOT TO INCLUDE STRONGARM.
Gee, I wonder why they left *her* out?

Really? I can't tell

God, they still haven't run out of AllSpark Power baby blue paint yet?!
You are aware of how many times Hasbro actually doesn't do a paint job in as much detail as Takara, right? I.E. Reveal the Shield Jazz vs. Henkei Jazz.
Or basically every single Prime toy – sure, Takara only did stickers but even then the stickers were more accurate overall to the show than Hasbro's paint apps.

Sorry, should have stated I hadn't followed RID'15 at all I also should have guessed this deco wasn't just pulled out of thin air, especially since of late Takara doesn't do a lot of Random redecos.
