I'd imagine the chances of this are absolutely zero.

For the sole reason they're not official Transformers, they're not even knockoffs.

well, i just want transforming toys, they're called transformers-wannabes

my opinion only, they're grossly out of scale when you're used to collecting TFs, plus, they look like KO's LOL.

but i'm speaking for myself only as i haven't seen or handled one outside the box.

I'd say that the chances are fairly low. They are a competing brand of toys, and Ryan has an absolute tonne of other figures on his waiting list that need to be done before the Road-bots.

I wouldn't completely rule it out, but I doubt any galleries for them would be made.

and Ryan may even tell you what his plans for them are himself.

They're not KOs. They are of a different brand. The brand name is Roadbots. A wannabe spin-off.

So far, i haven't seen or heard any stories or any kind about them yet. They're just simple car-robot copycats without directions at present.

I've got five Road.Bots. Four of the 1:32 scale (deluxe size)
They lack real names, instead they bare the car brand and model as a title, so I gave them TF names just like I do with every other knockoff, copycat or bootleg TF I've got.

Red Ford GT who shall be referred to as Pointblank
Blue Toyota Celica with yellow decals, dubbed Hydradread.
Yellow Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX christened Rapidrun
White Mitsubishi Pajero now known as Bugbite

And I've got one 1:18 scale (leader size) Road.Bot. An apple green Lamborghini Murcièlago who shall be Fuseline, leader of the Decepticon Roadbots. =)

They're decent enough. The car modes are great, though the small ones lack translucent windows, going for painted black instead.

The robot modes, while pretty posable, detailed and personified (e.g. headsculpt, robotic non-car parts) they are not the sturdiest and their weapons are oversized light-up blasters and huge melee staffs.

The transformations are pretty straightforward but require taking quite a few of panels off before transforming. Ranging from one to eight panels per fig, between the five I've got. These panels plug in at the end, either on the weapons, as a shield or back onto the robot. Kind of a cheat if you ask me.

Overall though, they're decent enough for the small price. You get what you pay for, a bunch of accessories but not the best quality. The 1:32 scale (deluxe size) robots are cheaper and smaller than Alternators and the 1:18 (Leader size) are too big, so they're really on their own.

Well, i'm glad youi liked them, besides, they're not that bad right? Anyways, can you help me? Which 1:18 fig would you like better? The hummer or the lambroghini?

I only collect official Transformers products released from Hasbro or Takara Tomy. Sorry guys ... no "official" Roadbot galleries here on Seibertron.com.

That's what i said, transformer wannabes

Well for one I luuuv the Lamborghini Murcièlago just plain for looks ( and performance =) ). The 1:18th scale one is a very fresh apple green, which I dig but is really a matter of personal opinion. There's a smaller 1:32 scale Lamborghini which is sunny orange (like E-Hobby Sunstorm) His robot mode is very wide from side to side, though slim from front to back. The head is somewhat like an evil Prime and the doors as shoulder pads make him quite intimidating.

The Hummer is avaiable in metallic dark red for the 1:32 scale and sunny yellow for 1:18 scale. Judging from pictures, car mode is just as solid as the Murcièlago, with lots of detail and correct proportions. I don't like the robot mode as much though. The inside of the back portion of the Hummer is hollow and kind of folds against the robot, making him look unfinished IMO, like they didn't really know what to do with those parts.

In the end, it's a matter of personal taste. Which robot mode looks best to you, which colour scheme and car do you like the most. I went for the Murcièlago because I already have a Hummer TF (Movie Ratchet) but if you're absolutely buried in sport car TFs (I'm not, preferring more exotic alt modes) consider the Hummer. Movability and durability are equally good along the line.

You can find pictures of all Road.Bots on the manufacturer's official site

Scale 1:32 would be interesting. I haven't seen this size yet. All i've seen were 1:18, plus a very few 1:24.

I may try a couple of 1:32, if they go well with Deluxe figures.

From what I can tell the 1/32 tend to be about the size of TF Deluxe cars.

Thanks for the heads up Ryan.

Never seen half of those figures in retail, but thats more likely because of my location than anything else. The 4wd bots catch me attention more as well, but thats because I dont really care for the rice-burner "souped up" vehicles.[/quote]

these are neat, they are transforming robots, but they are not Transformers. so no permanent place for them on here.

Maybe someday, Hasbro will buy the rights to Roadbots design. Hasbro has a habit of doing that to several different toy brands.

I don't think so. Maybe in the past, but not nowadays. Besides, one is clearly a BT Tracks KO

Then Roadbots is history.

Then if it's not going to be here, i'll post my reviews of them in the forums then!
