Just got this guy in the mail. Found him on ebay from Singapore for $10. Don't know his name, but he is an Autobot. He is very small. Nowhere near the size of a real PS2 controller. I haven't transformed him yet, so here are his controller pics:

Here are his robot pics from the auction:

He's my favourite Real Gear guy so far...

Damn, this subline rocks...

Looks pretty cool although it should be black if it's going to be a PS2 controller. That kinda looks more like an X-Box controller than a PS2. Good pickup though.

X-Box controllers are also black (uless they changed it for the 360 :-?

)

Awww

Don't you wish you had a real Allspark so you create your own little Autobots like these..

Actually the Xbox360 controllers are white. but the locations of the joysticks on this guy are more inline with PS2 controllers than Xbox.
Xbox360

PS2

But i think he is modeled after this Ps2 controller:

Ew, it does look like that one!

Hmm... so does this mean there's going to be more Real Gears, or was this a rejected design, possibly for the sculpt being too similar to the controller in question?

(Man, now they need to make a transforming console... though it might jive in scale with the Microman transforming videogame headquarters from a few years back.)

I freakin hate the Real Gear toys. Just stupid crappy toys to sell more stuff. Do they even have real names?

I think I've seen that controller toy out somewhere. It looks very familiar.

just ignore the guy. alot of the stuff he complains about is not even worth the time reading.

as for my take on the controller, he reminds me more of g1 apeface.
