Those are definitely not LEGO and they look horrible Bumblebee doesn't even look remotely like the character.

Thought for the day: Lego is real-life pixelation.

Not if done properly by MOCcers who know what they're doing. This is just really crap.

Sad thing is despite only being so-so, they still look better than Build To Rule did.
I don't mind the visible building block look to the bodies, but they really should of just made seperate pieces that look like the heads and maybe the hands so they'd at least be reconizable who they are.
As much as I <3 both transformers and legos, pass here.

Did not work with Armada, and fails even harder with Animated. Lego and Transformers just don't go well. You really need a very large amount of pieces with some specialty parts and hinges to pull of a decent representation.

Meh,
I get turning Animated to blocks is probably more evil than most, but they could try a little harder on the faces.

There was a transforming G1 Prime done a few years back, Japanese market also, much more detailed, just trying to remember who made it...closer in style to the old 'Lokblocks' type of blocks rather than LEGO. These look to be smaller, but by the same company.

That would be Kawada, under the "Diablock" line in 2007, and it was licensed to boot. With that, the news item is slightly incorrect.

I've seen fan-made lego TFs that looked vastly superior to these...at least I'm pretty sure they weren't official TF releases.

Yeah, these certainly arn't genuine Legos. If they were actually made by Lego I'm sure they would look ALOT better, they make some pretty sweet looking stuff these days. But am I the only one who thinks Bee in robot mode looks like movie version?

Lego and Transformers go together like tuna and gum.

Actually, those are just generic building blocks, not exactly "legos" as Lego has no involvement as far as I can tell. In fact, upon further inspection I see the word "Diablock", which could mean they're new entries for Kawada's line.
On a side note, Lego did request people not to refer to building blocks as "legos" in order to keep their trademark from becoming generic.
