Since the Roadbots toys are/were a legitimate toyline that has been released in stores in this country with their own moulds, seeing them now knocking off Transformers moulds is surprising. More surprising will be if Hasbro allows them into the country as well.

It's an odd move to make, sure it's cheaper to manufacture toys from pre-existing moulds, but surely Hasbro will come down on them like a tonne of bricks?
:confused:Keeps coming up with an error message:confused:
I saw some smaller scale (closer to BT size) Roadbots the other day at Target Galleria. I didn't pay attention enough to notice colour changes, i think they were just smaller versions of the large toys that were around last year.
I don't think this is gonna end well for the people behind Roadbots... :rolleyes:
note: i've 3 roadbots but these fellows can't stand properly, look good in alt mode but s****y in robot mode...
The originals were rip-offs of the AT/BT designs anyway. Now they're getting even lazier... :o
good for kit bashing though and kids who can't afford real TFs..
The originals used cars that no alt/bt ever used, and the robots were very different looking and came with weapons. These were acceptable.Quote:

What a twist.
fellows arn't they saying that these are not related to either Hasbro or the other company?
therefore its not the Roadbots company's fault
I really think that the big wigs at Has/Tak just don't care.........
Yes, the happywell roadbots are getting knocked off by someone else that is using Hasbro intellectual property is what they are saying. There's a third currently unknown player to blame.Quote:
