Ok. It's taken me 3 attempts total to make this thread. Anyway, am I the only one who finds these interesting? I would love to collect them. You can suppoedly mix and match them to make infinite possibilities. Gestalts on roids.

Could you explain more about them?

Would love to get more, all I have is the Pharaoh



Sure they each have their individual modes, but damn does this thing look awesome.

That thing looks like a Gestalt Kreo…are they along those lines, "build a bot" I mean?

I do! Whenever I think of translating characters which can transform and/or combine into anything into actual toys, like Amalgamous Prime, Nexus Prime, Shifters or the Ammonites, this is the kind of approach and engineering I think should be taken (well, this mixed with Construct-Bots and the Japanese exclusive Trans-Scanning, to be more exact).

Kinda, but not really. From what I can tell glancing at their Wikipedia entry and baltmatrix' list of reviews, they're basically a set of parts that can attach to one or more cores to create different configurations. The core itself can vary from the basic Mugenroids - a basic cube or other geometrical shape which can be transformed into different configurations - to the gimmick-centric Turboroids - cores with pre-built wheels for their own vehicle modes - Mugen or Tornado Engines - cores with spinning gear mechanisms - and Buildroids - cores which are themselves robots that can be diassembled into parts and are piloted by a Diaclone-esque Roider figure.
