Amazon has been updated with a couple of new toys from the Transformers: Robots In Disguise toyline.
Both toys belong to the One-Step Changers line and are not repaints of their already existing One-Step Changer toys. Patrol Bumblebee and Patrol Sideswipe were revealed earlier as Switchblade Bumblebee and Switchblade Sideswipe on the RID Official Mobile Game update back in last November.
Toy Descriptions:
- Figure converts from robot mode to sports car mode and back
- Converts in 1 step
- Scan the figure’s badge to unlock the character in the Transformers Robots in Disguise app (device not included)
- The 1-Step Changers are 2-in-1 speed-changers, and this Patrol Mode Bumblebee figure is one of the speediest! He’s the same Autobot warrior as always, but he converts in just 1 step from robot mode to supercharged sports car mode and back. Take the fight virtual when by scanning his badge into the Transformers Robots in Disguise app (device not included). Can this Bumblebee figure’s Decepticon enemies keep up with him? Not as long as he keeps converting back and forth! Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.

The first TFW2005 front page story that featured photos of these two was this one:

So yeah, I'm sorry, but there's nothing even remotely "news" about this story.

Uses the same transfomation engineering of the "Switch Blade" TF4 Drift and later Sideswipe in TFRID2.0

I'm afraid not.

I knew we had seen them, because Bee and SS. had swapped transformations.

Yay! More Bumblebees to sit on shelves!

I picked up Quillfire and Springload last month in the UK but this 'Bee and 'Swipe are still on my radar since they're not just straight repaints like RID One-Step Gold Armour Grimlock, Patrol Strongarm, Night Ops Bumblebee and Ninja Mode Sideswipe were.
Have we previously had new versions of the same character design redone in the One-Step class before in a single line? Obviously not counting AoE Bumblebee as both his regular and High Octane versions and AoE Drift as both car and helicopter since they both represent different robot and alt mode designs. Whereas here using different molds, this 'Bee and 'Swipe are still both supposed to represent their regular character designs and deco in robot and alt mode just like their first One-Steps did.
Just seemed odd to basically take another crack at the same thing within the same line class.

Oh. My bad, then.

Yup because one of Hasbro's missions is to piss you off personally. They could make toys that you are personally asking for but instead preffer to make toys that they are sure wont sell instead.
come on, give me a break.
Also, this stuff is oooooooooooold news wtf. Its right here from a month ago http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans…one-step-changers-wave-6-8-out-us-retail.html

Actually, yes, and they've been mentioned in a couple of the other front page stories re Springload & Quillfire

Sideswipe slowly making his case to be the "new" Bumblebee now that Bee has apparently replaced Prime as leader.
That's what I thought. This was the Bee/Sideswipe one-steps that swapped each other's transformation gimmick.
Posts like this make the rest of us Beast Wars fans look bad.

These have been out at retail for a few weeks now, and in stock at EE for over a month I think . They ship with Springload and Quillfire.

Surprisingly, no. These are new product, never before seen. I checked the NYCC RID2015 article and found nothing about these.

Haven't we seen these two before?

sideswipe looks worse and bumblebee does not have as much character in the mold

Fun fact: No human being alive is forcing you to buy these. These are not for you. They are for kids.

More trash

The $33 price point? Just found out that both of them are indeed $10 as their old price. It's just a hiked price on Amazon.
