Thanks to 2005 Boards superstar Nevermore for alerting us to the fact RID Combiner Force figures are out in the wild, specifically Australia (via @paulagnewart)! Legends class Optimus Prime, Grimlock, Springload and Starscream were found. Optimus and Grimlock look to be the same as their previous releases. Happy hunting to those down under, keep an eye out Stateside and let us know if you find them in our Sightings Forum!

Springload is just awesome.
Nice one guys.

I'd definitely be up for Spittor and Slapper repaints
I also can't help but think this mould would work well for the minicon Slicedice, if they could find a way to include a tail

Does anyone else wanna see Springload redecoed as Spittor and Slapper?

My fiancee may never get Springload after all.
I may just claim him.

Starscream and Springload have early listings at Amazon, still without images:

Springload

Awesome

I found them at a grocery store of all places,
I just posted full reviews in the feedback section.
but long story short,
Starscream is Ok, nothing amazing. but still pretty neat.
Springload is a wonderful little psycho frog. and beats out the One-Step in every area, but size.

Found these guys while I was out running errands today
Will be posting my thoughts on the two new moulds shortly

Apparently.
I remember making that comment, but not so much the figures. Hm.
But then again I don't really follow RID.

Someone had to make the obvious joke…
BB Shockwave
WOW, and here I was considering to buy the terrible one-step changer Springload, thinking he will never get a proper toy. This is awesome! Odd that we never saw any ads or previews for these…
MastaBlasta
Makes it even better. Overly attched chosen one
Lord Dcast
Went rushing out to find it…and nothing.
Spiderus Prime
But Wingblade hates Starscream's guts.

These aren't Combiners. "Combiner Force" is the name of the line-wide subline imprint for 2017 regardless of the features of individual figures, just like 2ß16 had "Mini-Con Weaponizers" for 2016 even though not all figures were Mini-Cons or compatible with Mini-Cons.
The actual "Combiner Force" gimmick figures are these:

… which you should know since you replied to the thread about the NYCC reveals. Did you forget?

Combiner Force?
Now Prime RID has combining? Are these combiners?

Someone make it a thing.
