Gobots Return...New Machine Robo

dukefett · 10-02-2017, 12:10 PM

I find it odd that these seem to be only US distribution? I've never seen any of these new ones up for preorder/sale on Amiami/HLJ and the like.

I was a little underwhelmed with the original release, but this one looks ccool.

benvoliothefirs · 10-02-2017, 12:54 PM

Holy faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaq yes!!!

Tomax · 10-02-2017, 05:26 PM

WOW, now it comes with cartoon accurate different face plates expressions. double sold. that was the icing on the cake. must have.

GizmoTron · 10-02-2017, 05:33 PM

Kind of glad I skipped the smaller figures, because it looks like I might have to bite on these larger figures if they're going to fully homage Go-Bots.

captainN · 10-10-2017, 02:49 AM

Wow i wish GoBots makes a come back.

Gonna bump this thread again, since I received Shuttle Robo for my birthday.

Figure is great, but holy good god does the kibble have pointy corners and sharp edges. I realize these are for collectors, not kids, but I've never had any toy stab me this way, regardless of the target audience (aside from some of my wife's Skylander figurines, but that's a different story). Still, I love her altmode (since Shuttle Robo = Spay-C for me), and she's pretty nicely poseable, even if all the die-cast in her legs makes those a little more difficult to pose.

Have there been any updates since Bike Robo DX that have been missed? Did anyone over at Action Toys mention why Turbo Robo was pushed back/swapped with Missile Robo? If Turbo gets released with the next wave (which I'm assuming will also give us Steam Robo and the long-awaited Blue Jet), I'm gonna be buying most of that wave out of the gate.

Bike Robo DX looks like it just came in stock this week on many online stores. I've seen a few photos starting to pop up on Twitter.

I don't know if DX Bike Robo is in stock since BBTS and TFSource just put pre-orders up for next month. Peaugh did a review and it looks good, unfortunately the $140 price is a bit too high.

My first impressions of Action Toys Machine Robo line was somewhere in the middle. While I liked Machine Robo/Go-Bots getting some modern love, the quality seemed to be all over. I'm glad to say that Bike Robo is a solid figure, probably due to Action Toys holding it back to get the feel right. I hoping the line continues beyond what's been released because I think Action Toys is just hitting its stride.

I want those trucks and figh-tor

Tomax · 10-28-2018, 12:22 PM

turbo and the jet guy is a instant buy from me
question: is turbo and fitor gonna be in the DX large size

soundwavempl · 10-29-2018, 04:53 AM

Turbo and Fitor are not the DX large size. They are closer to deluxe TF size.

singsingjohnny · 10-29-2018, 11:43 AM

Definitely picking up Turbo...if it's ever released...

Fuzz · 10-30-2018, 07:08 AM

I need that Loco figure!

Every time they confirm that they're not dead, my heart swells.

And now it's Loco, my absolute favorite toy from when I was a kid.

Turbo, Fitor... as long as Action Toys keeps making them, I'll buy every single one I can!

I just wish they could make Cop-Tur. That was my favorite as a kid, but apparently he's not among the characters they are allowed to produce for this line.

I'm really surprised we still don't have a preorder solicitation for Turbo, given that we've seen the prototype on display at shows for quite awhile and he's a fan favorite everyone is eager to get.

I also really hope they eventually upscale Leader-1 to a deluxe robo size to match the deluxe sized Cy-Kill that came out last year, so that we can finally have both in almost Masterpiece transformers scale.

GizmoTron · 03-07-2019, 03:56 PM

Holy hell, this line still lives? I didn't think I'd ever get the Loco/Steam Robo figure.

protostar8 · 03-07-2019, 04:12 PM

Wow, this is a surprise. I thought we'd get Turbo and Fitor, maybe even the truck who's name escapes me at the moment long before Loco. All I want is friggin Fitor dangit!!! lol

chuckdawg1999 · 03-08-2019, 01:06 AM

Was Loco a Renegade?

I'd really like to have a Cop-Tur figure. He was one of the first Go-Bots I ever got.
