They're not Robot Heroes. I'm not sure what they are.

They look snazzy, better poses than the Robot heroes too.

I believe the ones in the second photo are rotocasts. The ones in the first photo look solid though. :)

Try inserting his key or swinging his sword arm. If there's no sound, see if he has a battery cover you can open and then see if there are batteries installed. It's possible that the South Korean version you have ditched the electronics like the US one did.

^I did as you said...and there is no sound...

Does it? I only bought the Takara version, so I didn't know. I knew the US version was crippled in some way, so I assumed it was the electronics, but I guess I might have been thinking about the floppy sword and wing plastic.

My modest haul for Feb thanks to Sky Shadow

I have both.

The only differences are in the paint jobs and Hasbro's VP wings being more rubbery.

Personally, I think that Hasbro's Vector Prime is rather good - It's not show accurate but it does have a nice paint job overall.

As Kup mentioned, it's just the paint apps and the plastic used on certain parts... all the electronics remain on both versions of Hasbro's Cybertron/Galaxy Force releases of VP (the gold and the white one).

The only ones that were 'crippled' were the latest Universe redeco (brown/black) version of VP and Botcon Alpha Trion - they both had their electronic gimmicks removed.
