Hasbro has been busy updating their official Transformers site in time for Botcon and the Transformers Movie, with images of Robot-Replicas and Unleashed figures, Hasbro has also put up images of the T.E.C.H Role-Play toys, everyday objects that turn into weapons.

See the images here.

cool. like the tight shot

I like the blade and the recorder gun.

Uh... pass.

O_O For an instance I believed the cell phone was some sort of robot with a radical ahir cut!

Man they are really scraping the bottom of the barrel now... surely they could have put a bit more imagination into the Alt modes... i'm sure i've seen some crappy power ranger things that do the same thing better.

I like the Quickbow the PDA. and Flash Bang the Flash Light.

The phone doesn't look like a dagger.

and the camcorder, well lets just say, Armada Laserbeak, did it first.

Dang, even the flashlight-gun and the camcorder-gun had orange tips.

No offense to anyone who finds these things cool, but to me, Hasbro needs to stop wasting their time and resources coming out with crap like this. I'd rather see them use their resources to improve the quality of their toys, make new characters, continue the Classics line, and build on what they already have. These things are okay, but essentially not worth my money. Let's see some more movie-styled Transformers (not repaints), new Classics figures, and so forth. Even re-issue the Cybertron and Titanium figures.

OMG! I'm complaining! Eeeep!

front paged and credited!

Garbage Formers, nearly worse than Prime's gun.

First off, that gun has an orange tip.

Are cops, and bank tellers that stupid?

I don't see any need for these, but can see myself looking for a set on Ebay 10 years from now wishing I got it then.

I do wish that they added some of the light and spring effects to the RealGears instead of these though.

One day, a man will shoot another man in broad daylight. No-one will have seen it coming, as his gun had an orange tip attached.

The day after all toy companies will be required to put neon-green tips on their toy guns.

And after a guy gets shot with a gun with a neon green-tipped gun, go to another color? Eventually, colors will be useless and manufacturers will be required to attach rubber chickens to the tips.
