    God, I HATE the cartoon face designs. WAYYYY too ugly, but that's just my opinion. If some company decides to make proper Transformers MP scaled Machine Men/Machine Robo/Gobots figures I really hope the faces are more Anime/Toy accurate than cartoon accurate. Well, I hope the anime faces are at least an option.

    Everyone seems to really like toy design elements on figures who also sport the toon look so no fear.

    This is incredible news, I know if the little ones became cheaper I'd defenitly be able to pull the trigger on them and with the DX line, like many have already said I'm down for any that get pumped out especially if they've got cartoon accurate appeal! If miracles can be worked out I'd love to see Cop-tur and Pathfinder!

    So how many Cy-Kills were there? There's this Action Toys Machine Robo one, there's KFC Salmoore (a Wreck-Gar repaint wasn't it?)... that it? What was the quality like?

    Ooooh it was too. I might pick one up.

    If they gave that Leader-1 the upscale treatment they did to Cy-kill a while ago, ill definitely bite.

    At what size? Salmoore (Unique Toys, not KFC) and Action Toys are the only modern ones, at a size similar to an MP carbot.

    And Salmoore is pretty good. He actually came before their Wreck-Gar. Some clearance issues if you don't know what you're doing, and he'd have been better if is shoulders locked in, but he's well worth the money.

    There are two Bike robos from Action toys - the 4" one and the DX Voyager sized one.

    I’d love a Fitor - I’m not much of a Gobot fan but I always admired that design. The Bandai version would have been great.

    Nice toys - they are just a really strange size from a Transformers collector's perspective.
    I've nearly bought some several times - just not had all the ducks in a row yet to do so.

    If they were either a bit smaller (and cheaper) or bigger - then I'd have long since jumped on the lot of them.
    But some of them are so titchy they don't jell well with a Deluxe Transformer - some are fine (like Eagle).

    I think the New DX scale may be more my bag.

    Not controversial to me, he's one of the main characters! Besides, people bought XTB's Ollie, and Wheelie was way more annoying than Scooter.

    I change my mind make’em in scale to match up with the MMC IDW figs.

    I’m really running out of shelf space.

    Ahhh, that's why I was getting confused. Anyone have the Bike Robo figures? Any good?

    Small one is fine but the larger DX one is literally one of the nicest figures I’ve ever owned. It even comes with an assortment of CyKill faces to swap out. Very highly recommended.

    They would be good friends probably, the kid appeal characters.
