More Robot Heroes Figures Advertised

Cool I want them! My first figures i will keep in the boxes

these little guys are fun and heart warming.

I hope they make a larger Unicron. I believe I saw pictures where there was a large Marvel Sentinel and Galactus in the works....

A large Unicron seems like a softball...

I'm hoping they make a gestalts wave! And the rest of the dinos...

Looking at the back all the names are 'TM' or ®.

What's the difference between trademarks (TM), or copyrighted (®)? Just curious...

any sign of these in the UK or Ireland... I think they rock...

are they the same scale as battle beasts??

This is old news, these were revealed a long time ago on TFW2005 and they've been on ebay for weeks.

Although I must say these are supremely cool figures.

Wave 1 was all we had in Toys'r'us yesterday, though a random single box of wave 2 Real Gear Robots ended up at a branch in England somehow. Lucky them.

wired i post the same thing a couple of days ago

Nice - I guess I'm going to have to pick a few of these up

Matty did have this last week, it just got overshadowed.

Unicron's kinda short, don'tcha think?

(R) is a Registered Trademark.
The difference between a Registered Trademark and a Trademark? In theory, nothing. In reality, it's much harder to win a trademark infringement case if it's not registered.

I like these figures, and would also love to see the gestalts/combiners as well. Problem is, I don't want to see High Tower as a Constructicon again. Hasbro has lost a lot of the trademarks to the names of the gestalts, so we don't get the original caharacter's names (just like "Insecticon" -- they could have at least named him "Insecticon Shrapnel" just like they do with "Autobot Jazz"). And I agree, seeing a Galactus- or Sentinel-sized Unicron would be great. Stick some Quintessons and some Sharticons in the box as well and that will be perfect!

Megatron looks adorable, and Unicron is very well done to.

The Soundwave/Bumblebee set is still my favourite, and a definite must-buy!

Bring on the Movie Robot Heroes now! I want a cute little Blackout toy!

This is what's on the back of the megatron - ultra maguns pack i picked up yesterday.

Saw and bought the Magnus/Megatron and the Bumblebee/Soundwave packs. VERY cool. If you put Soundwave and Bumblebee together, it looks like they're doing a collar-and-elbow tie-up.

starscream, thundercracker and skywarp all at mass retail?! take that, classics fans!

I gotta say, I love these KiddieFormers!

Wow We did not know about this already?

So cute...and heartwarming.

Cool. I think Rodimus should come with Unicron. Theres already a Prime in the first wave.

I like these things, the idea reminds me of Battle Beasts. Maybe they'll make vehicles for them too.

I have all of wave 1 (save for the Wal-Mart exclusive box set) and I noticed these on the back as well. I love this line! They look so great in package, that's where I've left them... for now.

The big difference is that they own a TM, which is copyrighted. So if you use a Hasbro Trademark, they can sue your ass up and down and which ever way they choose to.

With a ®, they own the use of the trademark. But the trademark itself is owned by the goverment. They could still sue you, but have to do so with the goverment's permission.

The display of tm and ® (and ©) is you that in terms of legal incidents, you know to whom you must appeal.

Prime with the Matrix looks cool!

And the Armada Unicron should work fine with these guys...

Also, on TFormers they have pictures of the horrible looking movie Robot Heroes.

Be prepared.

Hopefully, they will the main movie cast then switch over to G1 again.

Kind of how they did the Clone Wars movies, then started more of the original Trilogy Star Wars figures.

Yep they are doiing a large sentinel and galactus for the Super hero squad line. To make unicron in the small size and not the large is nothing short of Boneheaded!

Yeah. I totally agree. I am sitting here staring at my G1 Robot Heroes and I really enjoy them. Those movies ones are just gross. I think it illustrates perfectly how flawed those movie designs are. Anyway, I just hope they keep making the G1 ones and revitalize the Alternators line due to this.

Great. I'm looking forward to getting these.

1337 want.

God I hate super deformed things. Pass.

now if they would only transform....

SD-formers!!!!!

I think it illustrates the difference in design complexity. The blocky style of G1 works perfectly for the Robot Heroes line, the spiky-tons of little parts moving- designs for the movie don't.

I even like the green Ratchet now, but that Robot Heroes one is one ugly looking figure.

Wow, how cool would Battle Beasts look if they reproduced them now? Too bad there's not enough interest to get a new line...

Haven't been able to find the packs with BB and Soundwave and the Mags and Megs one. This is one line I hopefully will continue to collect. So cute!
