Thanks to Oscar Fung on Facebook, we have the first in hand images of Robot in Disguise Jazz and Sideswipe. This pair is part of Wave 3 of the Warrior figures and should be out next month.
Check out the images and share your thoughts after the jump!

I already have them preordered and paid for. Waiting for the TT version to show up on HLJ.

I've been waiting for Sideswipe! I was kinda sad he wasn't in the first wave. Jazz looks ok. The head is a bit weird, but I'm digging his lance.

The Beast Hunters line may have looked a mess at times, and the colored swirl plastic is a really stupid idea, but at least those toys had nice designs for a change and some above average paint. I'd argue it was easily the best "main" line since Animated.
RiD 2.0 so far has neither interesting designs nor any paint.

Me Want! Especially Sideswipe

You're right my bad
Autovolt 127
I'd say its the molds in general then just the plastic itself.

"Things that make you go hmmmmm"
I'm still on the fence with the new RID line. I jumped all over Prime and have almost everyone for the main line, but the BH line really disappointed me; Bulkhead in particular has really bad plastic. Kinda looks like the Hasbro RID line suffers the same.
So far the only RID figure I have is TAV-10 Slag and that's only because I'm having difficulty getting Animated Snarl so I thought what the 'eck! He's on par with the rest of the Animated figures I have, plastic wise so I don't know if TT are just using superior plastic to Hasbro?
I dunno, might get the TT versions or I might wait until the Hasbro versions turn up at Home Bargains or B&M as everything else seems to be doing!

Looks like this will be the first Jazz figure that I will pass on. Thr entire RID line has not impressed me so far.

They look pretty good. I'm curious to see what pain Takara puts on that alt-Sideswipe vs Stepper pack.

Ah well each to their own I guess. Jazz still disappoints with the lack of proper paint apps.
Edit Anyone find it interesting how these two are packed in in the same wave, and Swipe was shown to idolise Jazz in Ep 10, also their previous FOC toys shared the same mold…the plot thickens!
Slingshot
This 10000%. These two need more love.
BigRed
Uh. Yes he did. In fact the toy transforms exactly like he did there, the only differences between them parts that are impossible to get right shape-wise due to the model cheating physics like the really huge thick arms and the chest that changes shape from the car mode to the robot mode and so on. but otherwise he is spot on.
Well would be spot on if he had actual color on his body.
Afterburner
If that alt mode is slick by dear god I would really hate to see unslick.
BattleUpSaber
Really? I think Jazz Is the least show accurate toy in the line. Jazz's show model didn't look like TFP Bee in a Jazz costume

"Face palm" I know, I mean he wasn't a main character, maybe it was the way I typed it, but you read it wrong, it not like it was two different sentences, I used a freaking comma, like I'm doing right now.

Because it wasn't that many years ago that Hasbro used to produce Jazzes that look like this Special Ops. Jazz (2011) – Autobot – http://www.tfu.info or this Autobot Jazz (2008) – Autobot Elite Ninja – http://www.tfu.info .
I'm sure Hasbro has very real and valid profit-related reasons for their change to simpler, hollower toys, but that doesn't mean collectors can be expected to be excited about it. It's just a natural progression of Hasbro towing the "the collectors aren't our market – small kids are" line.

I think these look great. I was slow to get on board this line, but I've had the warriors sitting on my desk for weeks. I can't stop messing around with them. I'm still waiting on the Takara Strongarm, but the rest of the warriors are quite fun. I really dig the Drift and Prime. Sideswipe looks to be the best yet.
GuardianPrime19
Jazz is literally in everything you just mentioned
GuardianPrime19
Why do people not like Jazz. He has a slick semi-cybertronian mode, and he is probably the most show accurate toy in the line
nobleboivin
might get Jazz. Don't care for Sideswipe though
