Want to see Barricade and Frenzy. These are a good idea. Now you can recreate the scenes from the movie. Wounder how much they'll be.

The Bumblebee one is actually pretty good.

The Prime one looks too thin.

These look pretty awesome

Yeah, these look surprisingly good! The range of poseability alone is enough to make me want them... man, I can't wait to get my paws on some of these.

I wonder which characters will get this "Robot Replica" treatment? We already know Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz, Megatron, Barricade and Frenzy, I hope that's not all...

Holy Crapoli!!!! Those guys are freaking sweet!!! ofcourse the collector in me only wants them from Japan, sorry guys, but I like opening it and putting it back in the packaging.. so I'll wait to get the Takara/Tomy version, maybe they'll increase Prime's Size to be a lot more imposing to Bumblebee and fix Bumblebees paint applications to gun metal or something closer to the actual robot..Also Prime is okay as far as him being skinny, he just needs to be enlarged, then he'd look right..I think these would be better if inscale to each others form..

I love them because the posability, the movie accurate bodies and the action poses I will recreate will be sweet!!! :grin:

Hee Hee I feel like its 1984 all over again!!!

To Hell With Revoltech!!! actually it'd be nice to pose them together..

Now if they made non-movie characters like these, I'd get some.

No gap bridging between these figures and the transformable ones. This alone is a turn off for me. I'll put my 500 dollars down when i see them thrice as tall and detailed, AND transformable.

Heck, engineers nowadays are a few steps from making real ones, why should toys be left behind?

GM: Please pump more money into the franchise and hire better designers and modellers.

These guys need to be real cheap for me to get them, I do like them though, and the bios are great. The one for BB also explains the poit behind some of his music merchandise coming out too(and I thought it was just random product)

Still not all that impressed, the painting is the usual lazy hasbro quality, the sculpting is fairly well done, and does make the movie designs look quite nice (bar the heads).
Still passing on them though.

Revoltech KOs? no thanks.
And they don't Trasform to boot. definitely a pass for me.

the detail is amazing i checked out bunblebee hes better looking than fast action battlers what are the prices for these and can they transform looks like someone repainted optimus to look like nemises prime but could be wrong if the prices are good and they can transfrom i might get them.

Ultimate bumblebee kinda dissapointed with excellent detail but what hes cost they could at least put a visor on top of head so ha can change into battle mode ill get him either way.

I guess the Action Masters' haters won't be after these guys, they don't transform!!!

They are awesome, but I don't think I'll be getting them unless they're cheap...they just so much movie merchandise, and I'm sure there'll be other better stuff coming out too.

yeah i know, i was just kidding... :grin:

Why don't they do a baattle head for BB to replace for the funky bot face, I mean if they are gonna do hands, then why not do heads, and make a monkey face Prime or hands that are opened for dramatic poses like Revoltech.. hmm maybe they'll release Robot Heroes upgrade packs, with extra heads and hands for each bot.. that would be cool...

Also they should come with Bases with the Autobot symbol or Decepticon symbol...

I'll admit i didnt like these at first but they have really grown on me... The choice of poses rocks, i can see these as great fun on top of my desk.

I just got an error message when trying to access the page. Oh well, I've seen the other pics already, and there's probably a bunch more on the way...

yeah but these new pics rule compared to the other, there is an image of Bumblebee holding ahis arm canon and making a pose just like the box..

Downside is that BB paitn apps don't look like they should on the back of the box, but then again they have time to correct it before Movie blowout day..

Optimus Prime has glossy tires, which I can't understand unless he's wet...

othen then those things, and oh yeah Bumblebee needs a new head, preferably one with the battle mask, and a set of hands that are open, like revoltech, then the line would really rule..Maybe Takara tomy will get around to doing that, since the Japanese love options like that..one can only hope.. :PRAY:
