"I had Grimlock, his elbows exploded, I no longer have Grimock" was hilarious!
Edit: 52 Likes? I don't think I ever got that many likes, LOL
Edit, again: 124 likes!? What!?
Yeah
@@ShawnMichaelBeck Question, are you a bot? Not trying to be rude if you're not.
@@fennekin1750 no I’m am not
@@ShawnMichaelBeck Ok, I was just confused, & theres SO many of them on here, its annoying. Sorry if I was rude.
RID had interesting designs. It’s a shame the show didn’t give it justice. At least the toys are sweet. Fingers crossed we get updates to some of these characters into Legacy Evo. Also as a big fan of Mirage I approve of your statement.
There was a leaked listing for a RID 15 Universe Strongarm so fingers crossed
@@wakspacific6928 that would be so cool
bumblebee's design was utter shit and soundwave was done dirty
@@wakspacific6928 And also leaked listings for Cyberverse Windblade, Shadowstriker, & Chromia, which would be AWESOME!!! I LOVE Cyberverse Windblade & Shadowstriker! Chromia would go really well with Legacy Elita-1
Got your wish buddy
Fracture, Thunderhoof, Thermador, and Blastwave are my favorites. I love their freaky qualities, bringing some fun weirdo energy to the collection.
Bludgeon is really cool. Although I don't like that in the toy Blastwave is Bludgeon's recolour instead of Megatronus like in the show
@@irontownpictures9283 the toy was apparently designed first, and Bludgeon being cut from the show, they didn't want to modify the show model as much to save money.
Thermador is great yeh
Thermidor is the best
I like the new design of Mirage mainly the voice and vehicle mode but I still like the robot mode.
I like him too, wish he wasn't a Porsche tho. RotB Mirage, Bumblebee, Arcee, and Optimus (for the most part) are the best RotB Autobot designs, Wheeljack is trash. I also like Scourge, Battletrap, and I can't say anything for Nightbird cuz that mainline figure was bad, For the Maximals, Primal's good, Air razor is fine, Rhinox (from what we know) is fine, and Cheetor is trash (mainly SS)
@@fennekin1750 cheetor is great, he just needs more colour
@@MisterSandmanAU I don't like the head, cat mode (mainly SS cat mode), nor the colors (SS one)
@@fennekin1750 i think the head is jusr masked up, but i dont disagree with the critique on the colours, theyre pretty drab
@@MisterSandmanAU I rather Cheetor have a nice yellow & blue & more BW-y or Cyberverse-y head sculpt. And the cat mode of the SS one looks REALLY off, & the colors are not helping.
I don't care what anyone says RID 2015 was a good series and everyone was just hitting cause It wasn't like prime. It's like the Ben10 Omniverse of Transformers
I liked it, and omniverse is REALLY good
Nabbed my first RID the other day - Quillfire. Well-made, ridiculous and a perfect desk bot.
Nice, I thought he was awesome in the show. I own some legend class figures and as for the warrior class ones go, jazz and bumblebee
While I never had any desire to collect any of these, I still appreciate the look back as a whole, and subjectively what made these worth buying in the first place. Designs as a whole are very good just never liked the hollow/simplified approach that seemed to carry over from Beast Hunters/that era of Generations toys. Really excited to see what Hasbro can do with the Strong Arm design as a deluxe in Legacy though.
If you can find ToyHax’s sticker fixer, you can fix Bee’s stickers. And I have a theory, based on Bumblebee’s design from the show, I think that Bumblebee was supposed to be Smokescreen. The RID Bumblebee design has more in common with the Prime Smokescreen design than Prime Bumblebee, and personality wise he seems to be more like Smokescreen. I think they wanted to use Smokescreen, but Hasbro jumped in and said “Use Bumblebee! We need to sell Bumblebees!!!” I could be wrong, but I don’t think I am.
that actually makes a lot of sense, espically personality wise, why would bumbleebee be butting heads with optimus throughout the show? just didn't make sense, as to why their relationship soured, vs smokescreen getting jealous of his shot at glory being stolen from him
Nah, there’s no way they were gonna make smokescreen be the main character, not saying he doesn’t deserve it, it’s just they always were gonna go with bumblebee probably for how popular he is and how he was one of the main characters in the show. I love smokescreen and he does deserve it though and maybe you are right you never know. I don’t really think so but I still respect y’all’s opinions
@@gehrigrozakis5401 There is evidence that they probably did do it, you ever wonder why Grimlock acts the way he does in RID 2015? That because he wasn’t supposed to be Grimlock, he was supposed to be a different type of Dinobot. Hasbro made them change it because they know Grimlock would sell and to match AOE. If you still don’t believe that’s cool, but I’m seeing things that suggest that that’s what happened.
I think the idea was to continue Smokescreen’s story and finally make him the leader he wanted to be, but Hasbro stuck their noses into the writer’s business. Or maybe it was supposed to be Hot Rod because Smokescreen respected Optimus? I don’t know. The more I think about it, the more I confuse myself.
@@gehrigrozakis5401 maybe, however his personality is just off, he's arrogant and very cocky, while you could make a point the fame of a warhero, could get to his head, but it didn't when he got promoted, so to me it does seem more logical, for smokescreen to have fame go to his head and give him an ego instead of bee
@@elliottbelmont7065 but I must ask why smokescreen would be lieutenant when bumblebee slayed megaton. But you offer good points
When I was a child, I had the warrior class Steeljaw, and because the design of the elbows, I thought they he just didn’t have them, until now
Bisk/thermidor was a recent buy of mine, as well as scorponok. Love em both, thermidor is a cool simple uniqe transformation and looks good in both forms. Also got a megatronus when the show was out, and also gives me vehicon vibes, like a tank or heavy duty vehicon.
Bisk is my absolute favorite. The only problem is the way his head was designed makes it prone to falling apart - the rubbery face doesn't like to stay connected to the hard back piece. I ended up super gluing it back together, which has held up so far.
I wasn't into combiner wars that time so these guys were all I picked up, by today's standards most of them are lacking in many areas but theyre still really fun to mess with. I particularly love the decepticons with their weird animal designs. I kinda regret not picking up some of the later figures in combiner force since they seem to be really good like soundwave, stormshot, blastwave and bisk/ thermidor
i acctually used to love the rid show
I remember this show. I would watch that one episode where they combine for the first time over and over again.
Worst thing about the toyline is how many good character designs didnt get toys
Same problem with Animated.
I feel so old knowing that I grew up with rescue bots and RID
yeah but i do remember watching prime tho
"When he's in a pose he's fine, but when he's standing still he just falls over" rid skorpanok is the same as my opinion on kingdom cyclonus
the rid toyline kind of strikes me as a new age animated in a way. not quite as much budget, but very dedicated to the style of the show and trying a bunch of new stuff in terms of character design. seriously, the rid decepticons rule.
I used to own the bumblebee and grimlock figures, I am still on the hunt for that grimlock cause it was an awesome figure.
I like RID 2015 and I do hope that it'll get the Legacy Treatment.
BTW,I plan on getting some of the Toys from that line that being Drift and Jazz.
There is a Strongarm figure coming, but we don't currently know for sure that it's RID Strongarm. If it is, I'm certainly looking forward to it.
@@christianwelch4206 Probably RID 15 Strongarm because aside from Animated, she’s the most noteworthy of the Strongarms and has appeared in G1-related IDW comics.
I wish the show had advertised these better as a kid, because I was really on a hate train for it after the art-style change. I hated all the little gimmicky figures and the "weird" designs. I feel like if they'd done a little more to show off just what these toys were, 13 year old me would have been much more interested. In the last few months I've found basically complete Soundwave, Snapdragon, Strongarm, and Prowl. Pretty solid figures, definitely interested in grabbing more.
Scorpinok’s head looks like a Halo elite’s head
Kinda yeah!
5:39, It wasn’t you, it was the one-armed man!
While I appreciate the RID15 toyline, I think I prefer the Takara version, Transformers Adventure mainly because it has animate toyline figs like Lockdown, Swoop and Slug in his AOE colors (And this is coming from someone who has never owned both toys)
I have the soundwave from this line, and he’s pretty cool
I apologize in advance for horni
But the “friend who likes strongarm to much”
Probably has a strongarm figure in a cuum jar 😂
I have all of the RID2015 Autobots. I didn’t get any of the Decepticons because they were all really weird in that series, but I loved the Transformers from that line. They were very fun to transform, very clever, and often surprising ways to do things.
"Skullerkeem" kinda sound like one of those dubiously sensible yet awesome names JPG1 characters usually have.
I quite like these toys. Neat designs, and they were rather cheap. That Warrior Grimlock is one of the best grimlocks I know.
14:03 thank you someone finally spoke the truth instead of pulling a g1 loyalist
14:43 I'm gonna be seeing that face in my nightmares for the next 7 months
On Bee there is a small tab that you can cut a little (Emgo points it out) that locks the back leg kibble further down and gives him heels. I remember doing it on mine and had no standing problems afterwards.
Soundwave, Skywarp and Windblade are the favourite warrior class toys I have of the RiD 2015 line
i had the bumblebee as a gift and galvatron which were superb. enjoyed them alot more than i expected to
I’m telling you now. The warrior class grimlock is very good. A solid amount of articulation and nothing feels loose (and I’ve had mine since it came out) heavily recommend
RID2015 gave us the best Windblade figure imo. It just needed better paint.
I think you kinda showed the biggest strengths and weaknesses of these figures. Design wise, I couldn’t point out a design that downright doesn’t work, but certain weird QC and engineering things bring figures down a notch, COUGH, COUGH, Grimlock arms.
However, when the design comes out without any of that stuff, the figure hits HARD. I love RID drift so much I picked up all the variants.
15:08 when you mentioned earthspark bee I grabbed my figure of bee that's nearby and threw him at the screen
I actually think RID15 was a decent show albeit one with a case of severely undeveloped story elements, namely the situation on Cybertron, partially let down by Hasbro’s insistence on maintaining the aligned continuity at the time forcing comparisons to Prime into peoples minds. Though I will be fair to it in that regard, I think story arcs directly following up elements from Prime like the often-acclaimed Starscream arc were very well handled and I think if more TF fans were honest they’d admit that there are MANY episodes of Prime that are just as kid friendly as most of RID15, especially the mostly-filler of season 1. The show wasn’t in super serious mode all the time the way it’s gone down in history as being
The red claw on top of steel jaw's police deco looks like the siren on a police car, a weird one but it does the job
Remember the RID app that you would scan the toy then you would be able to play as that character
Brooo I loved this line! Still do! Not expensive, but still had very clever engineering and designs, and I didn't mind that the plastic was not great. I wonder if the new Earthspark deluxes and warriors are similar to these figures?
Also, you NEED to get the RiD Warrior Soundwave if you haven't already got him! Him and Thermidor are probably my favourites, and I have most of the warriors :)
"RID 2015 was EIGHT YEARS AGO"
That hurt.
At least Phatom Jaw's red claw looks like police lights in vehicle mode
I liked a lot of the Rid 2015 designs
My favorite soundwave is the RID 2015
the grimlock was the most screen accurate in bpth modes. it he was just voyager size with a few more points of articulation, it would have been perfect
I remember getting warrior class sound wave(the one with no gimmicks). Dang that thing was one of the best RID warrior classes ever
Fracture is my favorite by far of the line. I have that one and the brown decepticon they are so fun to transform and mess around
I don’t know why he never became another G1 transplant character since he’s got a style all to his own and could easily be a legal-safe rival to Lockdown.
YES! FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS THAT RID MIGHT NOT JUST BE THEIR THING! THANK YOU!
I liked RID because I haven't watched Prime at the time, so thank you for not saying that the show is straight bad!
I had the original jazz and on the back the paint didn’t match the packaging so I was confused when I saw the thumbnail lol
I had Drift as a kid and he was SOOO much fun. I'm considering getting an oversized Wei Jiang KO of it.
I love the jazz in this line
4:24 It's red specifically for this mode. It's supposed to be the lightbar.
Takara Repaints: "My death was greatly exaggerated."
this new mirage is jazz. my mind will not change.
There was something in RID 2015 that differs from prime is that a lot of creativity that was used and the result is making a lot of new decepticons like Thunderhoof and Underbite and even some character models like Ped and Steeljaw were used for different decepticons like Crustacion and Polarclaw , What was weird about the series was the transformation sequence scenes like bumblebee's car headlights become part of the chest and the windshield(I think) the legion and One Step versions borrow things from that like the legion uses the windshield as the chest
The one step version however borrows the transformation style of the show transformation so this is an example of how weird the transformations were in the show , Another example , Blurr's car spoiler ends up as a part of the backpack instead on the shoulders
I remember I bought the bumblebee figure with my grandparents in the mountains, and when I brought it home, I immediately lost it
RID15 is the one toy line I somehow have the most figures from xD
Cool to see the alternate decos of the figures I own :)
Funny when i was a kid ordering the figure that this mysterious red and green transformers figure is really rid bumblebee i can recodnize the car his head design i knew it was bumblebee but with green and red i think blue design
I really like the vehicle modes for a lot of these toys(and the designs for the vehicle modes in general besides bumblebee and prime) but man do the robot modes designs suck as toys and in the show definitely the only thing that doesnt make me want to pick these up.
Grejevor/Rollbar is by far my favorite rid deco and mold, it's just that good. I gave mine siege Aimless because it's the only gun with a handle long enough to not fit the kibble but other than that she's perfect
hes meatriding the stickers
There's an original GoBot called Scorp that has a fairly sleek scorpion alt mode.
Always liked that one as a kid. Totally forgot about it until I watched this...
the tfa color scheme for steeljaw is pretty good
I wasn’t actually aware they made toyhax labels for rid 15 stuff.
I think that might actually be my favourite Bumblebee...
"I have a friend who likes Strongarm... maybe a bit too much."
I wonder why...
I’m guessing the claw being red was Bc if you plug in on top of his vehicle mode it’s supposed to resemble a lightbar
I loved this toy when I was little. I feel old now knowing it was 8 years ago. The toys still rock
Scorponok’s hands look like MUTO arms
nice and i do feel old now
I still need to track down a Sideswipe to complete my crew...
Bumble bee has a face on his legs
The only figures I have from this are storm shot (I call him Jetfire cause heaven forbid a small Jetfire releases that's affordable) Soundwave, and Starscream. They are all pretty solid to me. Starscream is definitely the one that might be in need of an upgrade but they are all pretty solid
The claw on the police guy are supposed to be the sirens on a police car
I remember getting Jazz because he was my favorite, but bro didn't last 3 years 💀
I have literally never seen these toys before.
Also what in the world is that Jazz face?
The claw is red because its the light bar
Fracture is blast affect compatible!
OMg thank you so much for telling me!
2:46 I have had him for 9 years now , and I did not know his arms folded out !!!!!!!!!
I feel like my life is a lie 😢
I have warrior bludgeon and his pretool/repaint blastwave(?). Really cool mold, and both paint schemes work really well. I really want to get bisk, his figure always looked really fun
Hol' up. Did Hasbro ever make a non-gimmick version of Drift!? And I find it odd that Takara ran with the IDW comic coloring for Adventure/RiD15 Drift instead of something like AoE Drift.
That they did.
I got the RID Warrior Class Soundwave and he is fantastic!
I need to get into some of this RiD line. I had a 3 step Grimlock but moved that on. Got a 3 step Thunderhoof too. They kinda aren't my normal thing though seeing as they're pretty much big slabs with a neat transformation gimmick. But, I have the Warrior class Bisk figure on the way that I purchased off Bretosaur. Looking forward to that. As far as I'm aware it never came out in the UK, which probably explains why I've had trouble finding one for sale.
hey, i still have steeljaw and grimlock from this series. Suprisingly, steeljaws tail still holds him up, and grimlocks is also totally fine(his elbows are fine too, especially suprising considering my younger brother use to play with it when he was much younger)
Grimlock is my favorite, very explosive.
Unless you get the G1 recolour.
I have the version of Grimlock in G1 colors, sadly one of his heel spurs broke off after he was accidentally buried under a pile of laundry
Jazz is actually a heavy retool/rework of tfp rid bee
I actually had a version of Fracture where he had his minicons that could launch out of him but it burned down along with my house almost a decade ago. Pain.
Edit: Also the motorcycle mode was broken due to the whole minicon thing and nothing would tab in properly. More pain.
Thunder hoof and bisk are my top two that I need to get
I have the strascream from this line , i got it on a tianguis ( it's like a flea market but with stupidly cheap things)
With Scorponok I would recommend the Beast Wars styler retool with a new head
i used to have grimlock and fracture but the grimlock figure just vanished and i forgot about it for a while, now i just have fracture
The starscream figure from this line has issues, but it is a pretty cool figure to be honest!
Did you know that they reissue an animated lockdown toy in movie colors for RID 2015
Rid 2015 bludgeon (or blastwave if you are unlucky like me) is the best bludgeon toy yet hands down
Pretty good toys, terrible show.
I actually liked it tho
@@keayadeez6931 one person's trash is another's treasure
Agreed I love prime I don't hate rid but I don't like it ops death doesn't mean anything at the end 😔
RID 2015 isn't all that bad,It’s still Fun to watch.
@@emeraldphoenix5868 it's not as good as prime in my opinion
These were the days where warrior class were good and not some gimmicky crap, one thing does annoy me now about the figures is the autbot/deception insignia being a sticker for the app.
One of my favourite rid warrior class figures is probably megatronus. His story in the show was awful and didn't line up with the established continuity but the toy is cool. Unfortunately I lost the weird scalpel sword thing he came with
I need to get more. Only got Strongarm, Windblade (masked) and Soundwave (who I will turn into Animated Springer if I get another).
Rid was my Childhood
