A few weeks ago, Seibertron.com gave you the scoop on the upcoming MECH RC Robots that were designed by Transformers Artists, Andrew Wildman and Don Figueroa. One of those artists, Andrew Wildman, has just updated his personal blogspot: Wildwords, with some more info regarding the release of the first robot.

It appears that the United Kingdom will get first dibs on these new creations. In an article that Wildman sites on his blog, ElectricPig.co.uk states "Often is the case that all the best consumer bots get their debuts in Asia or America but this fine specimen is set to hit the shops in early October and it’ll be UK consumers gloating to overseas robot lovers."

So our UK bretheren will get first crack at owning one of these bad boys, but apparently at a hefty price. The MECH RC bots are due to hit UK shelves in October of 2008 with a retail tag of £399.99. That's just over $800.00 USD, for your information.

But still, these new bots promise to bring a new revolution to the industry of home robotics. "Ready to run straight out of the box after a battery power-up the Mech RC uses an entertaining on-screen software which you manipulate the movements of the robot as an animation then load up your action sequence."

Electric Pig stated that it will be allowed the first test run of the robots prototypes in the coming weeks.

Seibertron.com will continue to update you on these new robots as developments occur.
