    "Sorry boys, nothing to report about this figure yet."

    If it's any consolation, I'm shipping a Red HEIFER to market this week...and she was kind of bullish.

    There's also a buzzard Starscream and a wolf wheel jack coming soon. And transform element is doing a cat bumblebee. And they all look pretty great

    I was thinking, if they made beast bots from characters who transformed into inanimate objects like the G1 characters did, when can we expect Megatron as a PET ROCK?

    Not gonna lie. I had a few of these back in the day. And I kind of liked them.
    I might have hit my head on a rock(lord) back then. ;)

    I thought they were pretty cool. Though I understand people not being impressed by them.

    Oh, I had one too. The little gold nugget one. Great playability.

    I loved (and love) Rock Lords in the same way I love (and loved) G1 Perceptor. They both appealed to the admirable 80's "kid science" craze... I remember getting several toy microscopes, crystal-growing kits, etc. and I liked that Perceptor and the Rock Lords seemed to be extensions of that. I have fond memories of playing with them in my grandparents' garden, haha. I re-accumulated a big collection of Rock Lords a few years ago, and you know what... I still love them. My favorites are Tombstone and Nuggit. And you know what... they're actually pretty great toys. Touch, well-sculpted, and reasonably well-articulated by 80's standards.

    As for their, uh.... immobility in alt mode, I think I always figured they could bounce and roll themselves around like the rocks in Labyrinth. :) 

    I'll always stick up for Rock Lords. :)

    I always click on this for the nontransforming bull (or cow) pictures. It’s so relaxing.

    Oh well, I’ll have to wait for the KO downscaled version.
