These guys are pretty cool. There are about 12 of them in different colors, but they're all the same build. Ever since the roadbots, I've been interested in 1:18 transformers, and it's nice to see Maisto picking up on the idea. These were at Zellers in Canada and retail for about $7.

AWESOME!

I'm a big fan of 1:18 Transformers of all sorts, so I'll definately be scouting for these!

I wonder if these will be by the other die cast stuff at Fail-Mart.

Does TRU carry Maisto stuff, Drew?

Sorta.

It's mostly repackaged as part of the store brand "Fast Lane". There are a FEW actual Maisto items floating around though. Hopefully these will be a part of it.

Pretty cool... they kinda have a Go-Bots feel to them.

I wonder if the states will get them.

Do the wheels come off or are they perma-attached?

The wheels are attached.

It also seemed very gobots to me. I liked, and got, this particular one because the color scheme reminded me of Cy-Kill. The transformation is also gobots simple, taking less than a minute to transform.

i was a little impressed in bike mode, but I'm highly impressed in robot mode. very cool looking, and great scale.

Posability is pretty good too.

The arms, elbows, and wrists, ball joint hips, knees and calf cuts are all articulated. The seat comes up kind of like a scorpion tail, the "wings" open and close, and you can move the head around which makes him look a little more expressive.
