Ok. It's taken me 3 attempts total to make this thread. Anyway, am I the only one who finds these interesting? I would love to collect them. You can suppoedly mix and match them to make infinite possibilities. Gestalts on roids.

Would love to get more, all I have is the Pharaoh

Sure they each have their individual modes, but damn does this thing look awesome.

That thing looks like a Gestalt Kreo…are they along those lines, "build a bot" I mean?

I do! Whenever I think of translating characters which can transform and/or combine into anything into actual toys, like Amalgamous Prime, Nexus Prime, Shifters or the Ammonites, this is the kind of approach and engineering I think should be taken (well, this mixed with Construct-Bots and the Japanese exclusive Trans-Scanning, to be more exact).

Kinda, but not really. From what I can tell glancing at their Wikipedia entry and baltmatrix' list of reviews, they're basically a set of parts that can attach to one or more cores to create different configurations. The core itself can vary from the basic Mugenroids - a basic cube or other geometrical shape which can be transformed into different configurations - to the gimmick-centric Turboroids - cores with pre-built wheels for their own vehicle modes - Mugen or Tornado Engines - cores with spinning gear mechanisms - and Buildroids - cores which are themselves robots that can be diassembled into parts and are piloted by a Diaclone-esque Roider figure.
