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

[griffin]

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.

[GoktimusPrime]

..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). (-_-)

Didn't the last batch end up with less poseablility then the Transforming figures?

[GoktimusPrime]

Robot Replica Decepticon Frenzy definitely has less poseability than the Fast Action Battler. It's just complete epic fail compared to the FAB really IMO.

Movie accuracy be damned - I want a better toy!!

An exception because he only had the FAB or the little fold out that came with Barricade

But the others seemed to have less

Do Not Want, though I will say the initial RR line did offer a really nice Bumblebee I ended up buying 3 of them, mind you massive Bumblebee fan over here!
Jazz and Barricade weren't too bad either just a pity about their posability and top heaviness.
