Are you by chance referring to Hasbro's Built To Rule series? There's been a
little discussion of this brand here on LUGNET
http://news.lugnet.com/off-topic/clone-brands/?n=1768
And here's my review of one set:

I love those Vorgan guys in general and their primitive-looking weapons in
particular. Very cool IMO.
With sets like these, MEGABLOKS puts TLG in a tight spot. TLG can't really
pursue the same genre without looking like a clone of the clone (as in the
recent Skate Park sets), but TLG also presumably doesn't want to miss out on a
viable market.

Intresting to see if the construction could copy over to lego, with the lack of megabloks special peices. I saw Optimus, and at least 3 others. (...)
