AUS Toy Fair 2009 Transformers wrap-up.

Whoa whoa whoa, did you say Slot cars?! That's seriously COOL! But the image doesn't look like slot car tracks... are they really slot cars like Scalextric or something different? I wonder what the scale will be and whether they'll be compatible with other slot-car sets... because that would be really awesome.

The wristwatches interest me too... hrmm...

I just wonder do you need a new Optimus prime for the jetfire to combine or the old 07 leader class prime do?? Does it just clip on like wing sabre on galaxy force prime?

I think that since it is a new Optimus mould, the combiner feature may require the 2009 toy.

Under ikon collectables, wth is that?! That thing is creepy.

Which thing?

Movie Devastator looks f***ing awful! How the hell did that design get approved?!

[GoktimusPrime]

And to think that it can't even fully properly transform (into the individual robots). (-_-)

Hope its a new mold... not really keen on repaints with some minor mod jobs

I'm pretty sure that they aren't slot cars, just die-cast cars ala hot wheels. othewrwise they would not be able to run on the plastic track.

I think the UK got a movie Slot car set, but the cars were apparently incompatible with Scaletrix sets. Not sure about compatibility with AFX sets.
