Pics? If I find something I usually take a picture on my phone and send it to the computer, they can't post anynews if they dont' have pictures. Or else it's just a rumor.  Jefrey8395:
I've been looking for this to give to my nephew
DeathStorm:
I thought these were spotted already.

what do the RPM's do anyways?

The only difference is there's a painted relief of the robot mode on the underside of each car.
Aaron:
I'mma have to pick this up for my little brother, the hotwheels nut.
ManiactoaLaco:
Wait, Devastator, as in combining Devastator? In those little cars with the robots on the underside?
Why I have I not seen/heard of this before?

Your first post and already questioning a veteran? I can vouch for Dahpadre he get's all over and is no bullshit. He'll post a pic for all the non-believers. This is a playset / track for the RPM cars.

Ultrawave:
...You know, I haven't seen ANY of the TF RPMs at all. ANYWHERE in WA. Not that I'm terribly interested, I just find it somewhat odd lol.
This thing looks cool though, if I was into RPMs I'd be all over hunting that
microclone:
thats quite an interesting cross over style toy for transformers, well perhaps not interesting but certainly new.
arcee3:
Outrun the wrecking ball? Hmm, so you have to outrun Dev's testicles? That'll be a challenge.  It actually looks really cool, now if only stores would start stocking the actual RPMs, I'd be a happy camper.
prime13:
it should come with mudflap scince he was the one who almost got eaten

Gosh, I thought he meant as in actual RPM, like in the vehicles.
Congrats to Nevermore for not being an ass.

Eh... Probably won't this.

Not everybody cares to slaver over every piece of news released and thusly isn't some encyclopedic knowledgebase for useless crap. This isn't the first time I've seen you flip out like this over something meaningless, but I expect it to be the last. Fit For natalie: Quote:

Like many of our newer members, ManiactoaLaco joined in the same month as the movie's debut, and like most normal people, he probably doesn't track down and read every single bit of toy-related news, especially in a toyline as relatively obscure (compared to figures) as RPMs.
Why don't you cut other people some slack, yes?
Scythe:
Where was this set when I was nine?! Quote:

I'm excited about "Devestator" since it's the first time we've had a TF-themed-Hot-Wheels-Compatible-Track. HOWEVER, the Go-Bots/Spychangers were the same basic concept as the RPMs....plus they TRANSFORMED. 
I have been getting most of the RPMs though, even if their robot modes are encased in carbonite...

TheLastAllosaur:
WTF? Just one wrecking ball?!
Spongezilla:
Hm, I'm not interested in RPMs. I'll likely ignore this.
Anyone notice that the Optimus Prime and Bumblebee stand-ups are on-top of the box? And they have the scissor symbol, so looks like you have to cut them out.
