The G1 Convoy and Lio Convoy that come with the DVDs ARE different, you know. They have metallic red paint instead of the normal red of the regular versions.
RM was for me pretty hit and miss. The smaller sized figures Im actually quite fond of, Like the cyberjets (got all 3 now, woot for me!!) and the Mirage homage one (riije I think...)
Are these figures as durable as the Cybertron figures? I'm planning on getting Starsaber and Victoryleo set. is there any difference from the set to the individual packs? Thanks.
I can't really say, all mine are MISB so I have not had a chance to touch one or play w/ one so I can't say for sure but Im sure theres others on this board that can answer that for you. Im kinda curious about the durability myself
I only have the robotmasters seekers and the plastic seems to be of a cheaper quality than any of my Cybertron figures.
Unfortunately, no. At least not in my opinion. I got several loose RM toys in a huge trade and I really like them because they're so show-realistic (or "on-model"). But they are sadly a little flimsy. Classics are a huge improvement over them. I'm not a diehard collector--that is, I prefer buying loose because they're cheaper, and I don't buy imports or "vintage" MIP/MIB toys unless they're significantly discounted. Due to their lack of durability, I would never buy RM toys any way but loose. But if you like show-realistic G1 figures, they're hard to beat. They're like Action Masters that actually transform.

And here's my latest RM-22 Lio Convoy What do yall think?? Think I should complete the collection or not worry about them since they're duplicates?
Robotmasters is such a small line compared to other TF lines.... I say go for it and get the other duplicates! Personally I *love* this line. Great fun, cool new molds of existing characters and really nice repaints.
