I made all of them into Christmas ornaments, they look pretty good on our tree every year.
Bee vomit tastes awesome!

Motto: "Freedom is the right to KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!"
I liked 'em. I still have Optimus with the Matrix, Megatron, Starscream and the Seekers, Jazz, Rodimus and Grimlock all on their respective character shelves and BW TM Megatron is just plain cool. But then again, I also have the Optimus Prime Mr. Potatohead on my DVD case so whatever. I think I have enough Masterpieces, G1, region free DVDs of series not released here, Third Party, original comic art and ultra rare Japanese chotchkies like exclusive '07 premier Legends and transforming pens and the like to balance out these and any other childish things that this toy line has to offer.

That said: I need more Kreons.

Motto: "BRING ME DANGER!"
I'm trying to wrap my brains around why you can state that Mighty Muggs ARE cult and Robot Heroes are not. If I switch these words around in the original post... There's no difference in meaningfull argumentation.

My guess is that it's a lenghty way of saying 'I didn't like 'em on hindsight'.

Well, since nobody seems to like them then I'm sure somebody will be happy to sell me Prowl, Laserbeak, Slag, Gnaw, Star Sabre, Deszarus, RiD Prime and RiD Megatron on the cheap...

I liked these from the get go, and I've still got mine out now when space is an issue and many other items are packed away. I never thought the movie designs worked well in this style, but I'm not really a fan of those designs anyway. For the G1s and BW characters the SD style worked really well. My collection also includes a lot of Decoys, a handful of other TF keshi, SCfs and 3" Tits though so small non transforming figures are quite welcome as far as I'm concerned. Small is good. I can fit a lot more small toys on my limited shelf space than I can big ones.

The only ones I got were the two - pack of Prowl and Blitzwing. And, honestly, I only got that pack to cut off Prowl's head, and use it (with some additional detailing on the helmet) as the head of a conversion of Gen Prowl into Omnibot Overdrive...

I, too, have the same doubt why those toys exist. But don't really care since I have the choice not to buy them. Eventually I did run across two of them. They aren't really good for either playing or displaying but I found them a pretty good and fun pieces for play games. For example, when we play Monopoly, I sometimes use them as the player (token).

I always liked them. They are really the only Super Deformed TF's i ever liked. I only have a G1 Megatron and i rather like it. I regret not getting a Soundwave .

But they kinda reminded me of M.U.S.C.L.E figures from way back in the day, of which i was BONKERS for when i was a kid.

RH's isn't incredibly collectable for me but i like the particular super deformed aesthetics of the line more so than other lines of that ilk.

I think they're kinda neat really. I was hoping for the Skullcruncher one with Grax riding him to be released but the line got cancelled.
