Just be careful with transforming it, as it's gearing isn't too strong, so it can easily go out of alignment and be difficult to realign so that it will transform completely and stay in both modes.
It's the one drawback of these one-steps, if you try to transform it before you see what parts are supposed to be grabbed and moved, it can affect the gearing.
Aside from that, I love the engineering of the one-steps... because when the two modes are good or excellent, there is a lot going on inside the toy to make that happen.

A sea of yellow, with it all being released within the first two waves of each size class... AND the photo is still missing the 2 Kreons, the Kreo car, the 6-inch Titan and the Hero Masher. (the last two I don't yet have)



Just to offset it a little, here's Optimus after the same amount of time, and also missing the same items as Bumblebee.
Just like with Rescue Bots, a character with just a couple of cameo appearances almost has the most amount of toys of all the characters.


Some of the other characters who have the most toys...




Everything I have so far for RID, except the Kreo (on another display case) and the Super sized Bumblebee (on the top of the display case).


The Kreo shelf...

Got my hands on the power armored Sideswipe. Bought it primarily to repaint but also customise the joints are tighter than I was led to believe and I like that the sword can be stored in bot mode

Picked up warrior fracture today. Nice, really nice transformation almost puts animated prowl to shame. Recommended figure.

Now with added pictorial review! I said that Fracture was almost as good as animated Prowl, I just realised that Fracture's transformation is just Prime RID's Arcee

Fracture turns into a chunky chopped motorcycle and his boomstick (really it looks like a stick) folds up and stores on his side, incidentally it can store in an attack position. Everything pegs together securely you can't shake the bulk of him apart - the front wheel will unpeg though

In robot mode Fracture's joints are nice and tight hips are on ball joints his head, shoulders, elbows, thighs and knees are swivels or hinges. The toy has a nice silhouette and is very posable.

Another Legion Optimus redeco to add to the collection...
