    Default Robot Replicas R*****t and S********m.

    Regulars Ratchet and Starscream make it into the Robot Replicas line in TF2. I was kinda hoping the non-convertable figures wouldn't be continued for TF2, as they aren't parent-friendly, causing a lot of frustration when a parent or kid bought one only to find out later that it isn't a 'real' Transformer (a convertable toy). The packaging isn't obvious or clear in making people know it isn't convertable, with *tiny* writing at the bottom of the packaging.

    Looks like Hasbro are up for more (unecessary) customer frustration and complaints this year.

    I didnt think they would continue either, these guys clogged shelves everywhere, and still couldn't be cleared out even when reduced down to $10 or less.

    Yeah exactly right, you can still find plenty for $10

    Maybe they sold well enough in the USA to warrant the need for new ones?

    I'd like to see them release Devastator as a Robot Replica.

    Those things look rubbish.

    ..they are. :/

    I picked up Robot Replica Decepticon Frenzy hoping to have a movie-accurate action figure of Frenzy... but honestly it's nothing more than a large movie PVC figurine - kinda like SCF/HoCs but bigger and no where near as cool as Mega-SCFs... and of course, way more expensive too.

    I just want a RR Devastator so that I don't have to buy that really big one that only transforms into vehicles but with no individual robot modes. I want to collect the individual Constructicons but I'd like a cheaper alternative for Devastator himself if the individual Constructicons aren't going to be able to combine (mY LiF3 iS pAIn). (-_-)
