Have you guys seen this piles of smeg? They are basically super deformed Escalades, Mustanges, Scions, etc that turn into robots which shoot water at each other. Though I imagine they might make good custom fodder (if you take them apart), I can't bring myself to pick one of them up.

Isn't hot wheels just ripping off alternators and my first transformer from playskool and combining them to make these things.

Yeah, 'cause you know, Transformers was the first line ever to come up with the idea of a vehicle turning into a robot and back again.
P.S. I kinda like 'em.

Saw them at Wal-mart a couple weeks back. These thing look shoddy as hell. The simplistic transformation. Not to mention, how the hell would the top half of the car be supported by the midsection?
I wouldn't even dignify these figures by kitbashing them into Gobots.

They apear to have the same design ethic as the majority of minicons.
Cheap and terrible.

I saw some of those in TRU a couple of weeks ago. Didn't really like the look of them, but i think they were quite cheap for their size.
I may pick one up tomorrow to see what they're like.

No, no, this is more like the G2 Go-bots... One over;y-simple design, used to death for EVERYONE.
There are decent transforming toys out there that aren't transfomers, and there are those that try but fall short... Then there's half-assed garbage like this.
The smaller ones that auto-transform look like they might be passable, but I'll only pick one up because I'm too lazy to get a proper Autoroller off eBay
