Probably worth buying just to get the heads to use for kitbashing!

BTR all over again... only better! The miniature version of the bot in :lego guy" form is so cool!

Posted: **Sat May 21, 2011 2:46 pm**

Of funny note, Sideswipe's mini-figure got trolled because it's Red Alert!

I will pick up all of these! BTR was awesome awful, but I think this is much different.

my first reply on seibertron.com!

yes! i am FIANALLY part of the seibertron.com family!
i am as marry as a little school girl!

does anyone give credit to the person that originally tells seibertron.com, not just writing the report?

Posted: **Sat May 21, 2011 2:51 pm**

Mirage is the only one im interested in. The heads are great on all of them but the figures themselves suck, Mirage is the only one that has a good alt mode & an ok robot mode but its nothing special.

Posted: **Sat May 21, 2011 3:00 pm**

Not buying them. And nobody can bribe me.

Posted: **Sat May 21, 2011 3:01 pm**

jazz and prowl are the only ones i would buy since they look like they have good articulation and look like their generation selves, but the remander of my money will be spent on DOTM figures.

Posted: **Sat May 21, 2011 3:01 pm**

AHHHH, so cool! I almost want to start buying these. Almost. But I don't need them. But I want them. :lol:

Yes, we always try to give credit to whoever initially lets us know about something. In this case someone going by "paranormal troll" submitted this info to our "news & rumors" link. I gave this person credit at the bottom of the news story on the front page.

The figures don't look very good to me, but I think it's nice that Hasbro is using classic G1 characters for these rather than only movie characters.

Posted: **Sat May 21, 2011 6:05 pm**

cool! As a fan of Leo stuff (Bionicle RULES!!!) I actually find these pretty good, sadly, since BTR never got here, I strongly doubt these will :-(

I believes you mean "LEGO"?

Posted: **Sat May 21, 2011 8:56 pm**

These are okay. I really like the little lego guys but why does Jazz have a set of eyes and his visor? But here is the big question why is Prime only 70 peaces and he does not come with a little guy of himself. That is just crap...I mean he is the leader and all.

Posted: **Sat May 21, 2011 9:17 pm**

Hmm. The more and more I see of these, the less and less I care.

These look pretty bad.

Sideswipe is the exception, and Ratchet's altmode isn't bad.

I love the picture of the mini figs for Ratchet, it looks like he's holding a gun on the guy.

Posted: **Sat May 21, 2011 10:49 pm**

These might be interesting if they actually transformed, but since you just take them apart and put them back together to change modes, they should really look a lot less sh**ty.

Posted: **Sun May 22, 2011 5:06 am**

I was tempted by these until I found out that they don't properly transform. Most of the robot modes look rubbish, some of the vehicles are alright.

Cruddy Lego knock-off in my opinion...

Posted: **Sun May 22, 2011 6:19 am**

I will own these...

I like the new idea for Transformers. NOt into much DOTM stuff, so I'll get these instead.

Posted: **Sun May 22, 2011 9:44 am**

Agrh these are nice, but why not lego hasbro? it would attract fans from both lego and TF... and it would be higher quality... cos it's friggin legos! Also, it wouldent cost much more... these set have abt 150 pcs each... which is the average lego basic set...

Posted: **Sun May 22, 2011 10:56 am**

i just wish they would sell the little Kreon figures individually. i dont really care for the sets, the heads are cool, but the way they look is so jumbled. i know its the nature of building toys, but why do them as a building toy in the first place?

Posted: **Sun May 22, 2011 6:47 pm**

any one notice the Autobot driver for Sideswipe is Redalert? :???:

Posted: **Sun May 22, 2011 6:58 pm**

Haha, yup. Hopefully it's a mistake and we're getting Sideswipe instead.. But then again this is probably hinting that we're getting Red Alert. We're also getting Skywarp and the other seekers... IIRC.
