i picked up a gravity bot bumblebee the other day. these things are legit, pretty fun to play with. i wouldnt really consider these an actual transformer, but rather a transformer novelty toy.... really cool for what it does nonetheless

they have toys that represent the "on-screen characters".... theyre called deluxes, voyagers, and leaders. therefore, these gravity bots dont need to do that job, cause its already been done.

I understand that these are geared towards younger children, but If I were a six-year old, and was the unfortunate recipient of one of these figures, I would still be sorely disappointed. Hasbro must think kids are getting stupider and stupider by the year, 'cause I had no trouble at all with the early Beast Wars toys I had when I was a wee lad....
its not like these are the only transformers available to kids.... deluxes, voyagers, fabs, rpms, etc, are all in the same toy aisle, so a kid can pick out any toy he wants.... if a kid picked out a gravity bot, its because he wanted to, not cause he was stupid. but since youre smarter than most kids, im sure you wouldve picked up a deluxe or something
