    I think they're cool. I'll buy these for the kids in my family. They won't get frustrated because they're easy to transform, and I won't have to do it every five minutes. And they probably won't break as easily as mainlines.

    hmmn... In the illustration with the cop bot directing traffic... it's bad enough that he takes up the whole intersection and no one could get around him, but all of the streets appear to be one way streets converging into the same intersection... If any of those cars go straight their in for a head on collision.

    Anyhoo, these look like a great way to get my nephews (3 and 5) into transformers. My 2 year old daughter would probably get into these too... she love Optimus in all his forms.

    They remind me of Playskool Protectobots.

    He's actually stopping other cars from running into each other, assuming that the decepticons had changed all the signs so that the cars were all going into the intersection. :D

    I think they look great for what they are. I would pick up a few. Anybody know the rough size class and price on these. They look "Legends-y" but could also be simplified Scout sized.

    Price not given yet. I assume somewhere around "Gravitybots" price point because of the similar concept.

    Those are actually cool drawn designs.

    I think I smell a new set of background characters that IDW will constantly blow up.

    Great concept. I think this is a winner that can be expanded upon. Not so much something for myself but there are always those kids who love transforming robots but are not allowed toys that glorify war.

    So getting all of these for my kid! I tracked down a bunch of playskool gobots before he was born and I was always wondering why they didn't make an Optimus for the line

    these guys actually look kinda cool. when the post said they were successors to Robot Heroes, i thought that meant they were static figurine-types. but since seeing that they transform and all... i think i might actually get these guys (well, everyone except Prime and BB).

    the vehicle and robot modes look really interesting and even though they seem to have Legend class articulation, they'd be great for... children... that i'll have in the future... right. I'll buy them for my future children... lol

    These look kinda cool, really. I'm especially liking that other firetruck robot (not Prime) because for some reason I am getting a lot of "Wrecker Pyro" vibes from him. Depending on the size, I might even be able to kitbash one by using not-Pyro's chest as a base.

    Some nice designs in there, very stylized, with plenty to appeal to kids & big kids alike. :D  I can see these selling well.

    I wish I had an excuse to buy these. I love the official lines for their complexity, but these seem like they'd be fun just to have at the desk and transform when you're bored. Well, more entertaining than the Allspark Rubiks cube and Ice Cream Twins I have at the desk now.

    This is cool for little kids but they got the names wrong. Police car should be prowl constuction vehicle is bulkhead and firetruck is inferno.
