Via Action Robo, we can report that the next wave of Robots in Disguise Warriors have arrived at retail in Hong Kong. Robots in Disguise Warrior Wave 7 adds two new characters into the mix with Scorponok and Windblade, along with the new powered up form of Optimus Prime, Power Surge Optimus Prime! Hopefully their appearance in Hong Kong heralds their release in the US in the coming weeks.
Nevermore
Hong Kong.
But yeah, they've not been released anywhere outside Asia yet.

Is Windblade available anywhere besides Taiwan/Philippines/Ebay-with ridiculous-prices?

They come off really easy and are easily replaced by proper faction symbols from ReProLabels.com

Does anyone else have a hard time making themselves go for these because of the huge white faction stickers? No fan of the show and 90% of the figures, but I do like that Scorponok. Hard to pull the trigger with that eyesore in the middle of his chest on top of the cheap look/feel of all the rid15 stuff.

For good measure, some official stock photos (lacking the packaging):
Power Surge Optimus Prime:
Scorponok:
Windblade:

they look the same, until you try swapping them out.
the blade is thicker on the RID version.
the tabs that go in windblade's hips are a tad wider too, so that won't fit either.

I've been waiting for that windblade from the moment I learned of the new mold.
I got lucky, I managed to grab the last one from the only shop I could find where it wasn't out of stock.
the legends figure didn't work out for me.
in vehicle mode the tail keeps splitting, and the nose and cockpit area doesn't stay in place properly.
and in robot mode the right shoulder doesn't stay in place because the hinge is too loose.

I don't want that whole ML wave, but that Space Venom sure is tempting..

I'll be waiting for Takara's Windblade. I'm totally down on that Scorponok, however.

While I'm happy about new Transformers, all I can see in that picture are the new Spider-Man Legends. I want them!

no because most of them are worth the money you spend. the transformers are cheap these days

forget those cheapoutformers, Give me those Marvel legends.
why can't people in the U.S. get this stuff first….its all scalped by the time I go to the store…. (i like store hunting sometimes)

Is it…is it wrong that I'm more psyched about the ML Spidey figures…?

I just don't understand the colorchoice on windblade. It looks like a fun toy but god too much red

Come on Takara; show off your Windblade deco already. Aside from a chunky jet everything's in the mould already. U already have the Slipstream version of the Generations mould, the Legion toy and Iron Factory's Windsaber. I want a good deluxe one!

Thanks!

look like i'll be waiting for adventure windblade thank you very much… kill that thing with fire!

Unite Warriors is Takaras version of Combiner wars, you're thinking of Transformer Adventures and yes, we already know Takara is doing one and it will probably have the correct paint apps.

SLIGHT? The only part I can see that MIGHT be a straight reuse is the sword. The sheath is similar, but has bits moved round all over it in particular the peg which has moved from bottom to top.
I'll be interested to see the RID and Generations version alongside each other and a rigorous comparison done.
