I got the first wave of Warriors and One-Step Changers today. Thankfully for free courtesy of a friend in the U.S.

Grimlock is the only Warrior I've opened so far, and I've posted my thoughts in the relevant review thread. I've opened the One-Step Changers and my thoughts are:

  • Underbite: Rubbish. Transforms from a ... umm... something with wheels to a... umm... something with a mouth and ... are those legs? The spring loaded transformation gimmick is prone to popping out if you don't squeeze in at the exact location.

  • Bumblebee: Better than I expected and pretty cool for a One-Stepper; I like how the the toy can transform back and forth from a 'standing' position, giving it a certain air of realism

  • Strongarm: Very interesting transformation, but disappointing robot mode.

  • Sideswipe: Same "switchblade" concept that we saw w/ AoE High Octane Bumblebee and car-Drift, but the joints on mine are rather stiff so that it doesn't quite flick in and out all the way. Not sure if this is just isolated to my figure or an actual design flaw -- anyone else experiencing this?
