The latest assortment of Robots in Disguise Warriors have hit UK retail! Combiner Force Warriors Wave 3 introduces Thermidor, the blue remold of Bisk, along with Bludgeon, a remold of Blastwave, and Twinferno, a complete new mold. The trio are turning up in UK Smyths toy stores as well as in Tesco stores, costing £17.99 in the former and £9.99 in the latter – which makes them well worth snapping up if you can get them at the lower price.
Happy hunting, Robots in Disguise fans!

After a visit in vain earlier in the week, I went back to the New Malden Tescos and found a set today. They had 0 on Wednesday, and 8 today so it's a reasonable assumption I saw a full case:
Four repacks – Op, Strongarm, BB, Grimlock
Four new toys: 2 Twinferno, 1 Thermidor, 1 Bludgeon
I can see the logic, Twinferno is the new mould here and Thermidor & Bludgeon are repaints …… but instinct says those two are going to be more popular just cos Bludgeon is Bludgeon and we didn't get Bisk.
Bludgeon's orange is a bit pale and the red should be burgundy, almost brown but apart from that it's near perfect.

Already got them.
Thermador – A bit better then Bisk, the blue is nice, and it feels like they fixed some of the issues. The claws actually tab to the side of the car.
Bludgeon – Hate the cheese wiz orange, and way too much of it. Other then that, still a good figure.
Twinferno – Sort of garbage. Legs feel like they\'ll break from transformation, toe transformation is pointless, dragon heads are a nice G1 reference, but he\'s a stealth bomber, why have them? Flames are cool, but the square pegs suck, and the paint could be better.
Happy Hunting.

Oh I always assumed you were Malaysian for some reason…

Hopefully I'll get Blastwave there on Labor Day Sale.

Deluxe Bisk was one of the only RID figures I was interested in getting. Seeing as Thermidor is a mould mate, I'll get him instead.
Just hoping that our Tesco's get them in!

I bet he's gonna be a shelfwarmer anyway since he looks so plain in terms of transformation for a Warrior-class figure.

Damn, RID Twinferno is the last one I've been waiting for. RID2015 distribution has been such a clusterfuck though. Just piles and piles of one-steps and soap bottles at every store. It's even worse because even places like BBTS that usually come to my rescue were really spotty on whether they'd order waves or not.

Bludgeon, Twinferno and Thermidor have not been reported in the US yet. If you see them, please post photos.

US is not the only place Transformers are distributed, you know?!
Ultrawave
Whoa, these are news? I see these guys everywhere in Washington

Still really want that Bludgeon, but if the tlk line right now proves anything its that it takes forever for any of the toys to reach most areas of the u.s.

Hasbro should just go ahead and continue this subline indefinitely. They are quite good. I would love to see some homages though to some of the G1 combiner teams.

The Warriors had a dodgy start but have been top toys for the last 18 months/two years. Bisk is amazing, several of this year's are really good. I'll be happy if they do more and so will my son who's the main reason we started buying them after he caught the show on CITV.

They're still available on HTS.com, if you don't feel like searching around. Wait for a coupon/discount weekend and you can pay around $12. Both are fun toys, despite the cheap plastic feel of this line.
But personally speaking, I'm not sure why they even bother with the RID Warrior line. They seem to put so much more emphasis on everything else that I just wonder why they even make these Warrior toys. 1-step, 3-step… you can't avoid those toys. But these guys?

Lol…
I still need Blastwave and Stormy…hopefully later this month…$9.99 would be so good…

I'd take any Decepticon they can do before the line's end. The animal bots were kind of interesting and different, so they really felt fresh and new.
