    These are super impressive in person. They are about 8 to 9 inches in height I believe? The level of detail is super impressive.

    These are of course unpainted plastic samples. Nice articulation and actually a lot of fun.

    I was more than impressed upon first glance.

    I love the idea of some non-transforming figures for Transformers characters who didn't transform anyways. Let's see various drones, armor, human mechs, etc.

    Awesome!

    I was wondering when we'd see figures of these things.

    Hopefully they sell as a 3-pack.

    I would've mind an Alpha Trion in this format too.

    I'd rather they be sold 1 in the box. Buy multiples if you want. I'm sure many don't need an army of them.

    Hopefully they will be much cheaper since they don't transform.

    Wow these are a totally unexpected idea but great. Hopefully price id decent.

    And man, every time I watch a Headmasters clip it cracks me up how terrible the sound effects and voice work where. I really hate that show... but that's just me.

    This would be something that defunct 3rd party company Impossible Toys would have made back in the day, but this looks to be of better quality than their offerings. One of the highlights of the 3rd party reveals for me, these Centurion Droids will look great guarding the Vector Sigma toy!

    Who would have guessed that we'd be seeing guardian robots?! This is awesome! It's like every aspect of the G1 cartoon coming to life :)

    While I'm happy for anyone who wanted these guys in their collection... am I the only one that saw the thread title and was hoping "Guardian Robot" meant new 3P Gobots?

    Well technically these are Guardian robots:

    What we have here are Centurion droids.

    However, what's in a name. Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie.

    This and Cosmos stole the show for me.

    Maybe the OP can have the thread name changed.
    Speaking of the real Guargian robots, FansToys is said to be working on an MP Omega Supreme. I'm sure they will also make modified repaint resembling the Guradian robot.

    Though to be fair to the OP, the label in the photo does say "Guardian Robots".
