We're still rolling with news and images from the BotCon 2008 with this cycle featuring the Robot Heroes that Madhammer and all of you are so ghey for. Hasbro put out a whole whole lot of them together so we don't know what's new. View all the little suckers in the image gallery.

and they're so cheap and (apparently) easy to make, I feel confident the line will last a long time and I'll *eventually* get most/all the characters I want.

I like how they bring in visual cues from the toys as well. And IMO these guys are waaaaaaaaay better than the Takara PVCs, in that the Robot Heroes have a zillion percent more personality than the stasis-lock-pose SCF guys. Not to mention the list of characters they've done/announced so far, which already kicks the ass of the Takara SCF collection. I mean, you've got Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Jazz, Ironhide, Sunstreaker, Mirage, Hound, Grimlock, Blaster, Ultra Magnus, Arcee, Hot Rod, and Megatron, Soundwave, Ravage, Rumble, Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Shockwave, Shrapnel, Kickback, Thrust, Blitzwing, Galvatron... That just rules.

They are pretty cool...I love Thrust's pose. It looks like he should be on the front of a D-Qwon instructional video.

I never liked the RH guys much (what's the point of a Transformer that doesn't transform?)

I think these are more true to the cartoon version than any transforming version could be, and I like that.

I also like that they are small, as my shelf space is limited. RH allows me to have a nice collection of G1 guys without an enormous investment of money and space.

It immediately made me think of Smithy... :tflaugh :redface

I'm a fan of Blaster's beatdown pose.

FYI Blaster and Thrust = one of the best two-packs ever

I never liked the RH guys much (what's the point of a Transformer that doesn't transform?) but I think I'll be getting the Beast Wars guys. They're neat looking and would be just about in scale with regular Autobots and Decepticons.
