That's great news for those of us who have wanted to get these for so long. I'm sure kitbashers are going to have a blast with these guys, I can't wait to see what they do!

 

Hopefully we'll get some more info about who might be carrying them and when sometime soon.

Damn skippy, we'll be having a blast.

 

 

I just wonder how much they're gonna cost....

[madman1366]

I imagine they'll be more than reasonably priced. I'd be surprised if they cost more than $15. The Galaxy Defender toys were dirt cheap, so I don't expect these to be much more.

Hopefully they are good quality and I think calling them knock-offs is stupid because they aren't.

Yeah, but the GDs were just generic KO's. The Road Bots have lights, sounds and vehicle licenses.

I know, that's why I think between $15-$20 and not the $5-$10 that most of the Galaxy Defender toys cost.

 

They may be better quality but they're still a rather generic brand so they shouldn't be all that expensive.

These are not knock-offs of existing Transformers toys, but all new vehicles and molds that are not made by Hasbro / Takara.

 

 

How can they even state that?

 

Lets see here a car(different vehicle companies) that turns into a Robot... Theres no connection what so ever..

crazy!

[Z06]

Actually they can make connections, the only toyota Hasbro makes is Skids the Xb. No complaints though they all look nice.

I am really looking forward to these. At 1:18 scale they will work with GI Joes, Star Wars, etc. Those are the lines I collect primarily.

these aren't knock off's, but more rip offs if you were to call them anything.. the company just took an idea and did their own thing with it, none of the cars are the same, nor are any of the transformations.. they are simliar, and pretty much copied from different parts of different alternators, but that's not illegal or bootlegging or anything.

 

I would really like to get a bunch of these, especially since they are 1:18 scale! :D

 

I think the land cruiser one is crap, but the rest all look awesome

Not even rip offs. Competition is more like it. They should make a Skyline GT-R since Hasbro won't. they should even make an RX-7.

[FUGAYZIE]

looking good! that silver land cruiser is prime kitbash material for megatron

[Three Storms]

Are they die-cast like Takaras or plastic like the Hasbros?

I don't know, but I'm glad we'll have the chance to find out!

[JoeRhyno]

cant wait for Destro to be pimpin' in his transformable Land Cruiser

I think they are plastic.

[OB1Killa]

I got to see em up close ....

[Chug]

Woo-hoo! The Happy Wells are here! More Supra power power for all. I hope that we get that third one that's been seen.....though, with Alternator Mirage, that may not be happening. Oh well...I'm down for swords AND guns, though that lance would rock.

[iacon45]

I can definitely see those guys popping up in Big Lots in time for next Christmas especially since the company releasing them in the US also made the Mega Man and Street Fighter toys that were there.

[Z06]

They need to make an RX-7 and Skyline. since those are japan's best cars.
