Ah. There's a minicon named Forth. The one called Back makes more sense now.

Except for the fact the one called back IS the one called forth

I guess Hasbro couldn't make up their mind on that toy.... they just went back and forth on the name options.

Aaahh no, what? now I'm confused

Well there wasn't enough back and forth between Hasbro and the game devs because Decepticon Back is still in the rid game app.

TFW member Nevermore has found some bigger images at an online store called Toywiz, of the RID Warriors and One-Steps, giving us a better look at some of them.

Warrior
Blizzard Strike Optimus,
Megatronus,
Night Strike Bumblebee,
Fracture

One-step
Quillfire,
Springload,
Sideswipe (new mould),
Bumblebee (new mould)

They are all in stock as well, so maybe we might start seeing these newer waves here... and just skip any 2015 waves that didn't show up here yet.

Fracture still looks great
And megatronus takes up quite a bit of the packaging. Was hoping he'd be chunky
Shame his chest is unpainted and he doesn't have a transformable mask face :/

Quilfire based on his instruction artwork looks to have a pretty wonky robot mode. But not bad. Still gonna get his warrior instead though. Springload looks better than expected. The vehicle mode is still inaccurate. But not as bad as the earlier prototype pics made it look.

Really really strange that they are releasing new moulds of bumblebee and sideswipe without even giving them new names to differentiate them (like how the bumblebee is called "quick bumblebee" in Japan) that's just gonna confuse people

Really dig Fracture. So much purply goodness.

The new four RID Warriors appear to have been found at a major retail in Australia first, so here are some photos, including some comparisons, for you to enjoy.

(I watermarked some of the images in case other sites "borrow" them without credit, but I kept it small and in the corners so that it doesn't obscure or distract.)

And for the comparison photos.

First (2015) Bumblebee - Night Ops Bumblebee - JP Adventure Supreme Mode Bumblebee - Night Strike Bumblebee. (missing the Clash Bumblebee as it wasn't released in my area)


Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime - (2015) Optimus Prime. (missing Clash Optimus Prime as it wasn't released in my area)


Legion (Clash) Megatronus - Ultra (Clash) Megatronus - Warrior (2016) Megatronus. (I don't have the Warrior Clash Megatronus as it wasn't released here.)


(back) Warrior Fracture - Deployer Fracture - One-step Fracture.
(front) Tiny Titan Fracture - Kreon Fracture.


Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime with all of the transforming 2015 Hasbro RID Optimus Prime toys, except Target 1-step, Clash Warrior & 3-step.
(those three weren't released here, and they aren't sold by online stores that ship to here)


Night Strike Bumblebee with all of the transforming 2015 Hasbro RID Bumblebee toys, except Clash Warrior & 3-step (both weren't released here so I haven't been able to get them yet).


Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime - (2015) Optimus Prime.


First (2015) Bumblebee - Night Ops Bumblebee - JP Adventure Supreme Mode Bumblebee - Night Strike Bumblebee.


When I first transformed Night Strike Bumblebee I thought it was missing the second stripe along the top of the car, but it is just a single stripe on the packaging.
Since the RID Game app recycles alt-modes of characters in the game, the Night Strike Bumblebee in the game has the same stripes as the 2015 Bumblebee.

The first (2015) Bumblebee had better matching yellows than the Japanese and Night Strike versions.

First (2015) Bumblebee - Night Ops Bumblebee - JP Adventure Supreme Mode Bumblebee - Night Strike Bumblebee.
