Oh yes...didn't I mention? The Autobot cars are...get this...the size of
Go*Bots (o/` bum, bum, BUMMMMMM o/`). Hot Wheels size cars with clunky robot
modes, and the ones I saw looked like they were made of that softer, milky
looking plastic (ya' know what I mean? Almost like PVC, but not as nice?),
and the paint applications were sparce and badly done. I was very
dissapointed (I HAD been looking forward to these...maybe I'll just get
Optimus and Magnus and stop there).
They are going to look SOOOOO stupid next to Optimus and the other large
format toys...honestly, it'll make you pine for BeastWars (which I shouldn't
bag on, 'cause I actually really liked the toys and the show...even
BeastMachines was OK in my book).
I'd point you somewhere on the Web, but I've had a very hard time finding
ANY product out there yet. I was very surprised to see them at T'R'U.
