I know Z3ROhour has them cause it says so in his sig.

i'd really like to get a few of them but i havent seen a review for any of them yet. is there a review thread anywhere on the net for this line?

nice! would you care to give me some comparisons to the alternator line. is there die cast on them? stiff joints? articulation? ball joints or rachet or pin. please give me some info. i'd hate to make a $50.00 purchase on craptastic wannabe transformers unless they can hold their own in my collection. are they heavy?

There is no metal on them. The plast quality is good, but not something you would want to force, or it will breake. General quality is good but only for exposition.

Not overally heavy, but they are large.

Most joints are either pins or ratchets. Not many ball joints that I remember. I have the extra large Ford GT, Lamborghini, Supra, and Hummer. They can hold their own, but they will stand out as different because of their weapons, size, and extra pieces.

The alt modes are my favorite parts, if you can get them to line up correctly. My lambo has not made it into robot mode since I opened the package.

I have most of the medium and small ones.

as it turns out, don;t expect Alt quality, but the med are pretty nice, if your careful.
the silver SUV being my favorite, he makes a damn fine Grimlock!

avoid the small ones.
they are little better than G1 in design and even gobots are more sturdy.

icannot even image how large the large ones are.

I also like the yellow Hummer (despite its horrific color) and the blue Toyota Celica.

What else can i say?

could you maybe do a snapshot of your RBs next to your alts or binals? i just wanna see how awkward (size wise)they look next to the others.

thanx in advance if you can.
