    Yup, Behold the Mighty Autobot Bruiser Skittles!!!! After the pic I added a purple Autobot symbol to add to the goofiness. Might repaint his head to really add to the effect. At least there is fun to be had with these guys and at the price who cares if one gets an unfortunate paint job. It's all in good fun. Maybe I will paint him an eyepatch too.

    I got these guys on a pretty decent deal last year, and I have to say I like them for what they are.

    If they had come up with a better head design, they would have taken over the minibots in my classics display, but they just don't work well enough to fit in with Classics for me.

    They are fun, though, and at a super-cheap price they were totally worth it.

    I picked up the core three (Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, and Bumper) and totally agree. For <$10 they are very fun and really evoke the classic toys. The car modes, in particular, are delightfully vroom-able.

    I can't remember if I've been in this thread before, but I bought two Hubcaps (one to repaint into G2 Hubcap who was my first TF ever) and one Bumper and I love these guys. Fun detailing, cute facial expressions, and they're just so...playable. Shame what happened to Impossible Toys, but they went out on a good note.

    Not to necro this thread but the set of 9 is the deal of the day at BBTS for $34.99. Even if they turn out to be junk I can at least give them to my newborn in a few years when he wants to start playing with dad's toys

    I think they are fun toys to fiddle with.

    They are totally worth that price, just as desk toys.

    With a little more thought, these could have been great, but there were just too many cut corners.

    Hey all, I have a full set of these available (minus the black variants) - unopened and still in their BBTS shipping box. When they were so cheap I impulsively ordered a second full set because I like them so much but I really need to pare down my collection. Anyway, PM me if you want them. $30 shipped anywhere in the US.

    That's tempting man.

    I have Wasp, Glyph, and Tap-Out and think they're great, so getting the whole set (minus the black versions) for $30 shipped is a great deal.

    Feels weird selling the whole set for less $$ than I paid for Bump alone when these were first released. :lol

    So, bbts had another sale, and I picked up a few figures. They're quite awesome. Wish the heads were better.

    Is there a way to store the guns in either mode? Id like to throw the boxes out.

    If anyone is looking to sell their three piece black set or at least just the night-jumper, PM me. Happy to pay a good price.

    If anyone needs an extra gun for this set (for dual weilding or whatever), I have a black gun from my IT Bumblebee for $3.

    Hi all,

    I bought these as a future gift for my son last year from BBTS. He had his ninth birthday last week so beforehand I picked up the labels for 'em from Reprolabels and stickered 'em up. They were a big hit and he loves them :)  I decided to take a few quick pics for everyone. If there's a specific bot anyone would like to see in either mode just let me know and I'll see what I can do. Gold-Bee is the only one who seems to not be holding up very well.

    Everyone loves a four and a half year old bump, right >_>

    I recently had some unexpected surgery (the best kind!) with limited mobility at home for most of it so I decided to organize all of the children's toy boxes. With four children (five if you count me) we have a lot of toys, heh. I was finishing up the box of Transformers my two youngest girls like to play with and I decided to inspect the Impossible Toys Minibots. My two youngest stole these from their older brother years ago and to my amazement, all of the Toyhax stickers have stayed on through all the play of my son and his two younger sisters over the years. My one daughter absolutely loves these little guys and always plays with them whenever they are out. Only a single headlight was askew on "Hill-Jumper" and I took care of that no problem.

    But I did notice the toys themselves felt a little sticky and not from dirty children's hands sticky, either. I believe the rubber tires are slowly starting to disintegrate and the bags I had these in certainly weren't helping things, either. I took a slightly damp washcloth to each figure and that seemed to bring them back to life again, though. Hopefully these guys will last a little bit longer because my youngest is still only nine. It also helps that only my son bothered to ever transform them. The two little girls just like the car forms which is fine by me seeing as how the last time I checked "Gold-Bee's" one leg was only holding on with chewing gum and hope, heh.[​IMG]
