I agree, very cool. As cool as a transforming flower....

Oh, wait, a transforming flower would be a little cooler. :-P


lol :lol:


Hah, this got me thinking. How about a transforming rose for valentines day Hasbro? :grin:

Another cool idea that came to me was Baseball related. Every year they should do 2 transforming bats and 2 balls. They transform into the MVPs/Cy Young winners!! Nifty eh?

Frankly I know that these guys can't transform but damn are they nice toys... I don't play with Transformer toys I put them up on the shelf, transform the once or twice and than leave them alone. I use them as models and always keep them in Robot Mode.

Same here, but knowing that they can transform is half the fun. Don't get me wrong, I have non transforming figures as well. I have the Revoltechs and I love the Takara PVCs.

However, non transforming, and deformed in one is a little much for me.

Ok, I'll make one concession to you RH lovers. The Decepticon Attack pack does display really well misb. :oops:

Yeh but I could just chuck Cliffjumper out of that and put Bumblebee in, and it will still look good. Look, I don't really care about the design this time, I know that the Design is not very good. I just needed the material quality. Is this some chump cheap plastic or is it a good plastic/metal that will last without shattering into bits.

Yes, it's very good quality. It's more of a rubbery plastic. Bumbled are you going to collect this line?

I love the Robot Heroes line and thoroughly recommend 'em.

And to the person who complained about the repaints of certain characters rather than new sculpts - can't really blame RH for that. Those Generation 1 figures (before they were known as Generation 1) set the precedent back in '84 with Starscream, Trailbreaker, Sideswipe, Prowl etc etc.

Talking of which, I hope we see Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen soon! :grin:

I'm missing the Decepticon Sneak Attack pack, Prime vs Ravage, and Hot Rod vs Shrapnel, but I've got all the rest, including the ones Seibs ain't got galleries up for yet:
Prime (with Matrix) vs Unicron and Jazz vs Thundercracker... love 'em!

I say they are cool and make excelent office decorations.

I have all of them except the wal-mart exclusive set. I would say the quality can be a bit spotty, my Thundercracker is missing a decepticon symbol on his left wing, so I would say give them a good looking over while in the package at the store. Of course its hard to see the symbols on the back of the jets while in package.

Not sure i really want to pick those guys up. I just got into collecting Transformers lately and don't want to buy stuff that I really don't want or need. I do, how ever like the movie line up and hope they come out with more Renditions of the figures and characters in Voyager class or Leader class.

Some one said that I should hunt websites for the scf figures that they are much better and not as cartoony, is this true?

Lol good question.

I don't know should I? I mean I only have $11 (I don't get pocket money usually my dad and mu just keep it for me and spend it during the year on something I would like) and that $11 was for making a cd for someone. Now I really want to get Deluxe 2008 Bumblebee, but this Robot Heroes thing is very interesting too.

So I wonder if I could by Robot Heroes now, and then later mum could buy Deluxe 2008 Bumblebee!

I have totally forgotten about Movie Robot Heroes :lol: Nah but I decided not to get them...

The best thing is, you can get 5 of the little blighters for $17 in Kmart during their sales.

Otherwise its $10 for 2, and even at that price these guys are worth it, they have so much personality, and for Hasbro toys, the painting is very good.

They also survive "play raids" by younger relatives, nothing to break off, or cause any "hoh-ohs" :P

Megatron is possibly the best of the lot, I cant get enough of the little guy, Grimlock is a close 2nd.
Awesomesauce; Use it, you know you want to.
