Referring to TF:Prime toys as RID

[Paulbot]

Within posts/topics/context it's been perfectly clear, but it's starting to become dominant on other TF websites.

I just looked at the Cliffjumper comparison topic at Seibertron, and can see the need to use the two acronyms within a posting to make it easier to refer to each quickly, but don't see a need for RID to be used in a topic title... especially since the FE set is essentially been and gone now. If it was an ongoing line with the Regular "RID" toys, then there might be an allowance for it, but fortunately there shouldn't be anymore news on the FE set, so don't need a prefix for the regular figures in news titles to differentiate them from the FE figures.

But I thought all transformer lines were associated with the old catch phrase Robots In Disguise, isn't it just that though?

It's going to be Chug-a-wug-a-doodar all over again...
Are people normally so confused so easily?, do we honestly need a new tag-line every 3 waves?

I wonder can we not call the wave 1+ Transformers Prime toys "RID"?

[etc]

+1 Agree much

And of course last year Neil Kaplan - the voice dub actor for Robots In Disguise Optimus Prime - was a guest at SupaNova (I had him autograph my RiD Optimus Prime toy )

Maybe there are some things I don't like to change or maybe I only like change that is for the better. Either way I think it'll be difficult to refer to the new names for the size classes that are clearly designed to appeal to children.

Maybe PRID?

Amen to that...I can't say 'Powerizers'/'Revealers'/'Weaponisers' without rolling my eyes. Who came up with those titles?

Ditto on all counts. Im a Basic, Deluxe and Voyager man myself..... But still call them Mega most of the time. I also call the new toys Prime not RID.

Wait, I've got a better one.

We've had TF Prime First Edition (TFPFE), now we have Prime Robots In Disguise Edition.
TF PRIDE!

They make more sense than Voyagers at least. What does that even mean?!
