These look very interesting, as a kid who used to collect Gobots I'm intrigued to see more from this line. Machine Robo was the precursor to what would become Gobots in the states. Tonka brought them over and changed the names and identities to import them to the states. Much like what Hasbro did with Transformers importing the Micro Change and Diaclone figures here and gave them their own fiction. 

Gobots came out here first and was very collectable and fun to play with also the less expensive alternative to what would become Transformers. Obviously the Transformers won out but Gobots still hold a special place for me and am on board with this new line!

I guess Action Toys lost the license?

That looks to be the case. There was radio silence for years now. I really hope this time we get past way more than a few waves here and there.

I have the deluxe Bike Robo from Action Toys which came with the amazing Cy-kill face swap which I love. I hope Megahouse can include some Gobot love in these too.

 i really wish i picked up that bike robo before it became unattainable. It sat around on bbts for a while at, I wanna say $75 or $80, and i just never pulled the trigger on it.
