    Default New Wave of Robot Heroes

    http://tformers.com/ig.php?mode=albu...ze=800&start=0

    They all look cool. Love Blackarachnia and Rattrap. Blitzwing looks wicked too. Cant wait to snap them up. They have been warming shelves post Christmas though as well as beforehand somewhat... I'm not sure about the longevity of the line

    It also appears this will likely be the packaging for the Classics 2.0. I'd much prefer the original Classics packaging. Much more sleeker.

    The G1 and Beast Wars figurines are awesome and the Universe Packaging is certainly better than the original and has a 'Classics' feel to it so I like it.

    From what I hear Robot Heroes have been doing extremely well in the US. The first wave went pretty fast in Aus too but the second seems to shelf warm a bit but it could also mean that they are over stocked on them.

    I am collecting these (just g1 not movie) because I enjoy them, they remind me of lil'formers. I have all the first and second waves as well as the exclusive 'diorama' one. The good thing is that they are very cheap and when a store goes on sale they usually have them at about 50% off so they rock!

    Can't wait for these new ones including Beast Wars! (although Rattrap's colors are a bit wrong and BA should of have gold instead of yellow)

    I've been really enjoying Robot Heroes, and have pretty much all the ones released except the diorama set. I even like the Movie ones.

    I'm glad they're extending this to the whole TF Universe by including some BW characters too.

    I'm looking forward to these, but wondering when the second wave of Movie Robot Heroes will hit our stores.

    Seems Hasbro has figured out they can put more than one or two colours of paint on a figure...

    These things are solid, guess if they are being put in the Universe line that we will be waiting at least 6 more months to see them which is a shame.

    Sunstreaker and Galvatron, Hound and Blitzwing looks good. I collected the G1 Robot Heros - All 8 packs, but I skipped the Movie ones. Funny how they merge G1 and Beast Wars and call it Universe series though.

    If I'm getting, I'll get the G1s only, as usual. :P
