    Might be a good time to remember how Transformers got it's start....... multiple japanese toy lines brought together and sold over here; and given a new show.

    Not THAT different from this situation if you ask me. Oh, aside from the fact that hasbro did it legally. Haha. Although........ Jetfire anyone?

    Hmmm... Anyways, looks interesting. :p

    1-2-3 Transformers, Gobots, Kicker.

    A recipe made of win? (no, not really, but wow.)

    I love that their faction symbols are so close to the line, but just enough not to cross it. I'll give the Chinese their props, they've got colossal BAWLZ.

    Wow. "Copyrights? ORLY?"

    That looks like him with some re-tools. Too bad it is appearing to be a total KO line.

    I don't think anyone has a problem with other companies trying to do a competing line. Often then do turn out at least a few very nice figs. It's when they do it by blatantly stealing Hasbro's work that people get upset.

    It's like watching a computer game. Which isn't exactly a bad thing I guess.

    But if it's for kids then where are the huge chins? :p
