I found this interesting pic in the Turkish Transformers site. I know some of the RPMs in this photo are already out there but some of thme are new like "Cyberhunt" and "Double Siders" Link: Transformers RPMS
...LOCKDOWN RPM. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Though I'd be more excited if more RPMs would actually SHOW UP here in the U.S.
[sarcasm] Thanks to the movies, we have non-transforming Transformers again! Just what everyone wanted... again! [/sarcasm] I only hope these sell well enough that Hasbro makes more cash towards the good stuff.
Got my first news credit! (whatever that works for ) What do you guys think about those Robot Riders? I can't make out or think about anything with them. They look like bunch plastic pieces scrambled.
One of the Robot Riders seems to be Ironhide. I can't work out if they are half transformed, or robots riding on the backs of other vehicles or what though. The Outsiders look cool - they look as though parts of the outer "skin" of the vehicle mode have been removed to reveal the robot inside.
Too many repaints....I like the RPM's b/c my son loves them but would rather see them throw out some new cars with different robots on them, who cares if they are in the movie or not....they would sell more if they did this.
Digging the Robot Riders and the Outsiders. It's nice to know that Hasbro's thinking outside of the box with these guys. And I think I need that Lockdown.
Woooo I like that Barricade outsider. I'm still waiting for the RC RPM Barricade to hit in here in CNY
Bought a few of the 1st wave, but hav'nt got any new ones. Temptation's rising, even thinking of getting a hotwheel like carrier. (one of those clear ones that does'nt say hot wheels) Would be fun to mock up as a TF car carrier with some labeling
Examning the ideas shown it raises some interesting thoughts. I like the normal color Lockdown. I'm not sure what the Cyberhunt ones are supposed to be though. I like the NEST Optimus - i'd like to see the Battle Blades Voyager repainted like that. Nice stuff in the 2 packs too. It's nice that the Repaint Jetfire looks like the War for the skies Jetfire. I like the repaint Mixmaster & the Red Ironhide and I respect the ones that copy the other toys the most like Red Ironhide, Black Bumblebee, Payload, Grey barricade, NEST Ironhide, Alliance Bumblebee and Black Megatron . I think that the Starscream there are the same mold though - unlike those shown at Toyfair. I like them best when they match the larger toys - so I wait with enthusiasm to see Jungle Ironhide, Tankor, Desert Brawl, Green Mixmaster, Skywarp, Ramjet, Thundercracker, Cliffjumper, Swerve, Green tinged Starscream. And likewise I'd welcome a repainted DX Lockdown that matches the blue one and a Sideways as Wreckage DX. So overall I like them - though I've got enough sense to spend the least possible amount on them.
Yes they could do more characters from the scouts and deluxes that are due the comming months. or vehicles from 2007. Like Swindle, Longarm, other Constructicons, or even a new Ratchet based on the new deluxes.
