Gobots finally making a return?

[Trent]

I reckon your best bet is to order these toys online as soon as they're available for preorder. Given that Hasbro now owns the rights for Gobots, I'm not sure how likely it'd be that these toys would see a Western release, as Hasbro may not want to undermine Transformers by competing with itself. Although it would certainly be possible for Hasbro to consider releasing some of these toys as part of the Transformers line itself. Hasbro doesn't seem bound to only release Takara moulds, as G1 saw several non-Takara figures (e.g. Jetfire, Deluxe Autobots, Sky Lynx, Omega Supreme, Deluxe Insecticons etc.).

But I reckon it'd be unlikely.

I intend to slap that preorder button so hard......

The question though is when and where. I've been following these since the prototypes showed up a few years ago. Progress appears to be so slow that it could be another year or next week. Couple that with not knowing how these are going to be released and it makes it ever so slightly frustrating.
