This looks like it could be more successful than the short-lived Go-Bots cartoon. Now if only the toys themselves had a wider ranger of articulation.

I get that the simplicity is to help children build their motor skills, but the Go-Bots were aimed at the same target audience with similarly simple configurations, but they did have a fair amount of articulation in addition to that.

I mean, would knees and elbows really make it that much harder? I'd imagine that kids would enjoy them more being able to move their limbs around instead of only being able transform them and drive them around in altmode. What child wouldn't want to have more fun with them in Robot Mode too?

Not unless they use very strong, highly reinforced, child safe joints. Again, the Go-Bots had pretty good joint quality, so they could just use that technology for these. If it worked before, it can do so again. :D

LOL Yeah I guess, but their were some pretty bricky go-bots! I had the original Speed-Bot from that line, no posability at all.

These things are great!

As a father of a 3 year old boy, who adores TFs, but is to deemed young to have anything from the more established lines such as Classics or DOTM, (other than Robot Heroes there is very little in his age bracket). He is mad about these 'real Transformers' and believe me the lack of articulation does little to dampen his enthusiasm or imagination, which as a parent, is just wonderful to see.

Very true. Though, there were some poseable gems in that line. Like Aero-Bot (the "Very Best") and his mold mates.

Oh, I don't doubt that kids will have fun with these. I just think they could have even more fun with these by making the arms and legs move. I know kids would love to make these things move in a "walking" style, or make the arms raise up and down in a sort of friendly "shaking hands" gesture. It adds an extra level of realism and relatability to these things, making them feel more "human" and less "bricky". ;)
