The Energon Pub

There's figures that are not exactly Transformers, we're talking of the Transformable Robots, Generic robots that appear for make cash in the fame of Transformers.

Here's an example of them, the Die-Cast Metal "Insert vehicle name"-Bot figures





This robots are made by a company called Flying Dragon Toys, and i bought some of them (who died for make my works), the Emergency-Bot Rescue has lights and Sound.

Yeah, I've got a few of those lads; the Mini Cooper, the blue rig (the middle one on the box back), and another, silver car... Looks kinda like a BMW, but I can't remember what it actually is.

The "Road-Bots" arrived to Tampico.

I planned to make this review in my website, but due to space problems in Lycos, i'll make the review here.

Road-Bot Ford GT


This figure is in the scale 1:32, it has the same size than most of the "Deluxe" Transformers.

What includes?
- Gun
- Axe/Tomahawk
- Car's side parts (attached to the Axe)
- The "Front"
- Trident Blade for the Sword
- Gold Chromed Shield/Cannon
- Luminous sword with Exchangable/Removable Blade



Robot Mode
The figure comes packaged in the Robot mode, it has good articulation in the arms, but the legs don't have knee articulation.



Vehicle Mode
The vehicle is a scale replica of a Ford GT car, very well painted and detailed, it has rubber tires like the Transformers R.I.D. and Alternators toys.





The Over-all score for this figure is 7/10

I'm currently kitbashing one of those 1/32 Roadbot GTs. The plastic quality is excellent. The red is a deep metallic shade, and it seems to hold up to my glue better than the plastic Hasbro uses in TFs. I've been having to use CA glue, instead.

Another Road-Bot Review

Toyota Celica 1:32


The set includes

- Figure
- Booklet
- Sword
- Electronic gun/blade with removable blade.
- Trident Spear
- Removable back (can be used as shield)
- Chromed silver shield
- Removable claw for the gun/blade

Robot Mode





The robot mode is similar to a Spychanger for some reason, but it has good articulation in legs and arms

Vehicle Mode




The vehicle mode is a 1:32 Toyota Celica nicely painted, the flame details fits well (flames work with sport cars, not in trucks.)

Electronics (Lights)


The bright depending on what is attached to the gun device (claw or blade)

Over-all score: 9/10
