    I don't have any Hot Wheels tracks, so I have no use for them and I'm not into Transformers that don't transform.

    Yeah, I'm not a fan. They sound kinda cool, but not worth the money.

    So far, I have the Barricade/BB two-pack, Megatron, Sideways and Long Haul (I passed on Ironhide in favor of LH).
    Overall, they're fun little cars, but the lack of metal is a downer.

    They're Action Masters, only stuck in the wrong mode.

    I would have liked these as a kid because I had a bunch of Hot Wheels cars. If they ever do G1 RPMS, I would get that.

    aaargghh. I bought them..they have been in their plastic bag form teh store where i got them..I haven't opened them --it has been 2-3 weeks alreay , I still have the receipts..

    in my mind they will be displayed in front of their robot counterparts-- say the OP truck, in front of an OP robot ... hhmm.. should I open the b=packages yet?

    I saw TRU is having a sale 2 for $5.99...

    maybe I should return them and get a better deal from TRU ..

    I dunno - at least Action Masters were cool little action figures which did the job of looking more like their comic/cartoon counterparts. RPMs are just cars (with some weak picture underneath as a 'robot' mode) and little toy cars are available everywhere anyways. I kinda want my TF to offer more than just that.
    I get your comparison, but I feel it's not doing Actionmasters justice when compared to RPMs.

    I only planned on getting a three of these: Ironhide (still haven't seen him), Long Haul, and the weird Ratchet repaint because I really like his color scheme. So far, I've picked up Old Camaro BB w/Barricade, Ratchet w/Megatron, New Camaro BB w/Prime, and I just got Long Haul from HTS.

    I like them much more than I thought I would, but I can certainly understand why people wouldn't want to purchase them.

    I will be buying some now that I am caught up with the current deluxe and voyager waves. Optimus, Longhaul, and Bonecrusher look really cool IMO.

    I guess they're okay, but on my limited budget, I'd rather buy legends figures at that price.

    I'd rather Hasbro put time, effort and money in RPM's into new Animated and Universe/Classics Toys.
