I was shopping in Tesco one day and managed to bump into the latest fad to come from China....ROADBOTS!! They come not from Cybertron (or Hasbro), but from Happy Well, a company based in Zhuhai, China.

RoadBots will give the AutoBots a run for their money. Unlike the Autobots, who transform into lame cars like the Camaro or Solstice, these Roadbots will whip their behinds with the Toyota Supra, Celica, Lamborghini Murcielago, Mitsu Evo VIII and IX, the Landcruiser, Pajero and various other (mostly) japanese makes.

Did anyone actually purchased one to find out about the quality? Maybe it has potential to become a collector's item?


Some pics:

lawsuit, anyone??

damn those Chinese. Why they dun go all the way and make bot toys from their OWN copycat vehicles ?

those are copies from the alternator/BT line. been around since the alternators 1st came out. not even near as perfect as an alternator/binaltech.

at least they r pretty decent looking...though i prefer stuff from the Alternators/Binaltech series

if they didn't make it so damn big and if they made the robot mode cooler looking, maybe they'll be better appreciated. the current design is a no no to me.

wow ... talented copywriters

yup saw these as well, LMAO!

i saw this just now with my bro...we were laughinh at it hard...lol.

how much for one?

keng laa china

Looks cool...but doesn't seduced me enuff

maybe they try to produce cars that alt/bt wont release...

haha...Toy City got alot of this toy..but no Transformers..bout the price forgot already..

Transformers the Movie 2. Autobot vs Roadbot.

with his gangs gone starscream is up to lead another new faction in a war against he Autobots; the ROADBOTS!

those price is either 79.90 or 89.90

i saw quite alot at tesco last week.. their quality.. very bad

but som ppl say its more realistic in its vehicle form.

a gift for my upcoming nephew but the price

believe or not, these toys r also sold in the US, Canada and some european countries...and they all swear by its attention to detail which even surpasses that of Transformers. (or maybe they just liked Japanese import tuner cars)
