Some new images of Transformers Robot Heroes figures have been found on The Australian Target Transformers site. These images give us our first look at the Robot Heroes figures of the characters for the upcoming Transformers Movie. You can see images of the Ratchet vs. Megatron two-pack by clicking here, and following the links (movie merchandise, then 'Robot Heroes').

hhmmmm voyger prime mold is classed as a leader?

by **XEN0** » Mon May 28, 2007 7:56 am

the leader class is priced $99 and it included robovision prime for $49 all the prices on that thing seem wrong the pictures are pretty nice . personally i am going to skip most of this line i'd rather spend my money on musiclabel and other non movie based lines.

The Robot Heroes Movie Megatron is oddly cute, but Ratchet looks too messy.

I can't wait to see the others, and I hope they do more of the movie characters. From the listings it looks like Starscream, Bonecrusher, Brawl & Ironhide won't be getting the robot heroes treatment...

Remember, those are Aussie prices, not U.S.

When I saw the topic, I thought it was for a G1 Robot Heroes Ratchet, and got excited. Then I saw the pics.

I'm not sure I like them, it looks too much like that Graffiti style urban art but in painted plastic PVC.. :-?

Megatron looks like he has frost bitten toes!

So, we're getting some movie based figures in this line afterall...rats! The G1 figures look 100 times better than the Bumblebee and Megatron from the movie!

I saw all the Robot Heroes at Walmart yesterday. Kinda cute, but I passed. I've been spending enough money on other TF related stuff. I also saw the TF Wallpaper stickers. It looks like a lot of the movie related stuff we haven't seen much of is going to start appearing in stores everywhere within the next week - as expected.

Yo I had these in the cart the otherday along with all the first blast of movie crap, but the register flagged the transaction and I couldn't buy any of it!

I tried 3 managers and a $50 bribe. I was well over $300, and since it was my rent, what was another 50 gonna hurt!?!

I haven't taken to bribery yet...

Same here.

I saw all but the movie Rachet and Megs at walmart this morning. I think they are great, and will probably end up collecting the whole line.

I tried to buy the Shockwave/Grimlock, Mirage/Starscream, and the BB/Soundwave packs, but they wouldn't sell them to me at the register. She said they were not supposed to be released yet and shouldn't have been put on the floor. Thanks lady.

So I got lucky with the Mirage Starscream then.

I'd hate to really have to pay 16.99 for scout class... that's $10 more than here in the U.S. lol.

Cool stuff. NOt surprised, but Blackout's legs are mistransformed...

Didn't rotate the waste.

I updated the story to include a screenshot of the figures.

Thats alright, the week after next(when I get payed again) I'm hitting the stores full force!

I'd like to go on the release day, but I just won't have the cash I want till a few days later, and I mine as well do this right :grin:

I'd like to think that line was tongue in cheek, but if not, please check out http://www.xe.com/ to compare the US and Australian dollar values. The Australian price is still about double the US price, but that's the way it is in most of the rest of the world in my experience.

Anyway, more robot heroes is A-OK in my book.
