I don't think that what Hasbro is doing could be called 'New'. Yeah new for Transformers but otherwise seems a little too copycat as far as that other toy line is concerned. Only that this seems more like a second fiddle rip off.Quote:

hmm i dont recall the lego ones being able to transform or constructed into vehicles, but then again i dont know to much about them so i could be wrong.Quote:

Plus the popular parallel people are making is with the Bionicle line due to style.
How about the fandom tries for the next month to not over react when Hasbro producing new kids toys that will appeal to kids. Since, you know, they're for kids. Anybody else buying them is just a bonus and Hasbro doesn't need to squat to make these more appealing to anybody but kids.
I personally, don't think they look to bad. And it's definitely something new for Transformers. I don't think Hasbro are so much trying to take on Lego but see Lego raking in the dollars and never ever ever leaving the public consciousness, and want to know how they can combine that with their existing properties while keeping total control. Construction sets didn't work for them, so they'll try Lego others big draw customisable action 'figures'.
