    I like them. Not enough to get the stolen chinese versions though. I am curious to see how much these will retail for though. Hasbro is going to be getting a lot of money from me by making these.

    Yes but with robots molded on the bottom and the rims actually match the on screen vehicle.



    I like them but not enough to pay through the nose. I can wait.

    Crap merch is crap....

    I just don't see how these could really be appealing to folks that are into TF's. They don't have the ultimate TF gimmick... transforming.

    I might pick some up the vehicle modes are very nice even if they dont do anything and if they retail for around the same price as some Hot Wheels (like $1 each) ill definitely get some

    They are also different than Hot Wheels because they do not use die cast metal for bodies and they are not to scale (1:64 for most Hot Wheels). It would be interesting to see someone put a RPM toy in a Hot Wheels track to see if it works, though.

    I'm guessing these will be like the CARS line and be overpriced and cost like $3 or $4 a pop.

    Also I think thats the first shot of megatrons RPM Tanks
