Went to my local Walgreens and saw these on the pegs.

Variations are:
Prime x 3
Megatron x 2
Bumblebee, all G1

 

ive got to get them who makes them ????? who i tell u who

 

They don't transform...

fail.

 

I think this is the result of the Tech Deck Dudes thing. Awhile back, Tech Deck introduced robot looking guys whose design, mottos and bios (though swapped around between characters) were VERY VERY SIMILAR to Transformers characters.

Optimus Prime was called "Minga" (including a Nemesis Prime redeco):

and here's Megatron


The Tech Deck Dudes website no longer list them, which means it's likely that Hasbro got wind of this and pressured Tech Deck to stop making them, and assuming these Universe fingerboards are made by the same company, it's possible that the two companies worked out a deal for Tech Deck to make licensed Transformers-branded Tech Deck boards.

 

If you take soem time and dig through the tech deck figures you will find there are tons of characters rip offs. Of the top of my head I know I have seen, Hellboy, X-Men's Cyclops, and God of War. I doibt hasbro took any action as alot of there stuff would be gone.

I do have the two you should and could get tempted to replace the crappy pack in boards with the new ones

 

Cool.

I'll set them up with my Robot Heroes.

 

That's pretty cool, and unexpected. might get one or two of them for a couple of my smaller TF figures.

 

LOFL!!!!!  

 

Hell yeah!I remember these Tech-decks.I saw them while I was in Wal-Mart.Man,they're cute.And now they have a TF crossover in it!

 

No, you're not telling. You are asking.

 

There's also 2 other Tech-Deck Dudes based off of Rodimus Prime and Ultra Magnus.

One was available in a multipack though. I think it was the Rodimus one.

 

when i first saw the pics i thought they were a switched product in the packaging that people do at wal-mart

 

Those are cool.

 

My thoughts exactly! Tech Deck dudes watch out!

 

Oh no....not TF TD's...say it isn't so!!

 

Price on these?

 

Awesome some actual tf boards for my tfs to cruise with.

 

Nice! Have to keep an eye out for these!

 

i gotta git me one of those
