Hasbro has released some new official images of the third wave of Robot Heroes based on the 2007 Transformers Movie. All except Jazz are new molds, they are:

Ironhide vs Dispensor
Optimus Prime vs Barricade
Allspark Power Bumblebee vs Starscream
Battle Jazz vs Megatron

See the images below:

So they'll make a robot hero version of Dispensor but not an actual Transforming version? To tell you the truth im getting a little sick of these guys.

News Credits: 8 · Tue Jan 29, 2008 8:22 pm

Where as I can see us all punching each other in the isles for that one figure while the rest go warm some pegs!

Seriously, near me the G1 RHs flew right off the shelves, but the movie bots they can't seem to give away.

I look forward to the G1 and Beasts though.

I like the idea of the poses for these new Heroes,
but personally, I think the molds are

WEAK.

And what's with Megatron's face????

Maybe they'll eventually make a Transforming Dispensor later in the line :PRAY:

(They probably have to work out a contract with Mountain Dew to use thier logo)
As for this, I never liked the RH, but If I see Dispensor & Ironhide in stores, I'll definitly pick up(for a Robot Hero, Ironhide looks pretty badass in that pose

Haha, sweet, I got credit for this!

Anyways, I love the idea of Dispensor, although I wish he was a regular Transformer. I'll probably get this Allspark BB too, and I'm actually liking this Megatron vs. Battle Jazz. Don't know about Prime vs. Barricade though, but i'll probably get that too!

Okay...

1. I am **** sick of this line

2. But I am getting Dispensor/Ironhide (mainly for Dispensor)

3. Barricade's face is scaring the **** out of me

News Credits: 1 · Tue Jan 29, 2008 8:32 pm

Well, I will definitely be picking up dispensor, but the rest I will pass on (Megatron's face just looks retarded) and hopefully they will make a transforming version of dispensor.

Why, too kiddy for you? Seriously, I'd rather have 50 Robot Heroes, than let's say 8 Robot Heroes + a bunch of people bitching about the lack of them.

Just be happy Hasbro is actually listening to the people asking for this line, because many people actually enjoy it.

AAAhhhhhhh......
come on the robot heroes are cool.
Even though yeah i would prefer a tranforming version of dispensor just be happy that you get a dispensor at all.

I think you are right on with this. I tend not to by non-transforming Transformers, but they are doing a good job
with these things.
I actually think the pairing of Megatron with pre-death Jazz
is one of the best jobs Hasbro has done with any of the movie toys.

Ironhide = very clever pose, nice stuff

Dispensor = sooo cute, must have!!

Bumblebee = awesome sculpt, another keeper

Starscream = maybe my favourite Hero to date, awesome pose!

Jazz = sad they all got new sculpts except Jazz, still it's a fun mold.

Megatron = why do they keep putting blue on him?! And his face looks seriously F'd up - the first Hero was better.

Barricade = he looks... happy?

Optimus = he looks... constipated?

All these sets are great except for Jazz and Megatron. Glad they all got new molds (except Jazz). It's worth it just for Dispensor, but the other new ones are great as well. Sad they didn't do an Arcee one, I would have liked that...

Hope this line continues, I love these guys too much.

Okay, they made Dispensor. Everyone enjoy.

News Credits: 1 · Tue Jan 29, 2008 9:28 pm

I prefer to buy Transformers that transform.

Spoken like a true "Anti-Action-Master-ist".

But yeah, why make a Robot Heroes version of a character that never had a main line toy?

Sweet I want despencor!

Whoah, chill dude. It's just my opinion. Like a lot of other things, these pile up on my store counters, making you have to climb over them, and they won't bring out new figs until the old ones have sold. And I have NEVER seen anyone saying, "PLEEZ HASBRO WE WANT MORE ROBOT HEROES!" I would like to have Transformers that transform. The RH's were good in the beginning, but they're just getting repetative (the same figs in different poses). Remember, this is just my opinion.

Because chances are we WON'T get a mainline toy of Dispensor, so it's this or nothing.

And I think most fans would rather have JUST the Robot Hero Dispensor than nothing at all.

News Credits: 3 · Tue Jan 29, 2008 9:54 pm

Now I will have to buy the one with Dispensor. I still hope that we eventually get a transforming deluxe Dispensor :PRAY:

News Credits: 5 · Tue Jan 29, 2008 10:01 pm

ugh, i don't like what they're doing with this line. looks like these figs should go in one of the attatix battle packs or something.

News Credits: 4 · Tue Jan 29, 2008 10:23 pm

I'm definatly getting the Dispensor and Starscream sets.

The other two I'm not sure about though, maybe if I have extra cash...maybe. And why is Barricade strutting?

News Credits: 8 · Tue Jan 29, 2008 10:39 pm

Dispensor s great, but I'm still adamant we need one that transforms.

News Credits: 1 · Tue Jan 29, 2008 11:41 pm

While I don't own any, I think the G1 Robot Heroes all look pretty neat(except Ravage) but the Movie ones just don't work for some reason, none of them really look like anything.

I was in a big WalMart type store(the NZ version) the other day and dropped by the toy section for a quick look at the TF's, they had one Ultimate BB on a shelf and ten - yes TEN! pegs full of Movie Robot Heroes.

I would have lol'd but it was too sad a scene
