Keep your optics locked right here at Seibertron.com, your Ultimate Transformers Resource.

I have the Bumblebee gravity bots, I have to say, the amount of detail on Mudflap and Skids face is pretty sweet.

Haha, Skids and Mudflap look soooo down. Poor guys.

Would've been obvious to include pics of Stealth Bumblebee with the Bolt Bumblebee figure.

Not really. Stealth Bumblebee was from the previous movie. I can't do comparison pics of every single combination.

I know, I know, I'm just saying that if you were to include pics of him with another Movie BB of similar colors, Stealth BB would be an obvious choice.

These have got to be the ugliest "Transformers" I've ever seen. They just look like garbled heaps of plastic rather than the on-screen characters they're trying (and failing, hard) to represent. 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.

Besides, I thought the FABs were supposed to fill out the toy collections of fans six and under. I wish Hasbro/Takara/Tomy would concentrate on making more quality products than trying to cash in on the license in every possible way with crap like this.

To play the devil's advocate, like it or not, it's a business and the bottom line is making money. Hasbro is making a lot of profit from milking the RotF toyline and any good business would do the same given the opportunity. That being said, yes, it's pretty obvious we are not looking at Masterpiece level toys/figures here. Fugly little things, aren't they?

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.

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

A six year old maybe (just remember, everybody's different and just because YOU could find enjoyment in a BW toy at that age doesn't mean others will), but a three year old I can safely say absoloutely loves them!

Regardless of how they look, they're damn fun and as Nemesis Rodimus said, a great way to kill some time.

I find them to be pretty fun sometimes, it kills time, but apparenty can be quite annoying to those around you. On a side note, maybe people can buy this for your pets, because my dog can apparently "transform" the gravity bot successfully. I'm gonna try to train him to "transform" 1 on each hand at the same time.
