D00MTR0N · 10-03-2011, 05:16 PM

no and no,really looks dumb imo and the figures look blahh,to me its a rock em sock em rip off.

tgbobafett · 10-03-2011, 05:30 PM

Yea I thought the same thing when I saw it advertise first time haha

yourfacehere · 10-03-2011, 06:19 PM

All I know is I better see the red and blue robots face off, I wanna see at least one head get knocked up a notch.

TheSymbiote · 10-03-2011, 06:34 PM

No and Yes

I've checked out the toys and honestly not impressed at all. =/ they just look...cheap. may make a decent base for a Rocket Red custom

TheSymbiote · 10-04-2011, 07:13 PM

We just got a two pack of Atom and Zeus and they're ok.
They would have been so much cooler if they didn't have the light up gimmick because then they could have added a waist joint.
We would however like to switch the parts of some of them and then paint it all one color to make our own custom robot.

bmorr · 10-04-2011, 07:29 PM

the only thing i want to see from this is someone doing an ultron custom from any of the figs.

Bought the Zues to make a killer robot- I'm useing some Zeon Gundam's arms with these giant flippin claws with it...popped it's head off and am looking fora suitable replacment that looks cool.
Then it's repaint time!

Movie kinda looks like shit lol, there's some decent hororr movies coming out soon, I'd say hold off. I probably won't even download this movie.

I would hold off. But the damn thing expires tomorrow lol. I swear they make it expire on a Wed so no one can use it. lol. Well it's kinda my fault too. I sat on it for a month lol

behindthemask · 10-04-2011, 11:06 PM

Yeh well as long as it doesn't cost ya anything go see it and tell us if it's any good or as predictable as it looks... man builds robot, son is better then dad with robot, dad enters son in tournament to save some farm or business and fights competition along the way, but at the end when the giant battle is near the boy wins it all.. yay Disney. go shortbus lol.

We got NONE of that from the trailer lol

We saw it like
Man and son find junkyard bot, Man teaches junkyard bot to fight, junkyard bot wins it all for money for some type of expense that the man has.

Do Boy · 10-05-2011, 07:28 AM

I got that too. But Then again I have seen nothing but teaser trailers so Maybe he saw a full trailer.

Optimus Vader · 10-05-2011, 07:44 AM

Who ever green-lighted this project (movie and toys) should have to get in a ring with a giant fighting robot. The movie will be in and out of the theaters in two minutes and the toyline screams Prince of Persia.. they'll be a nickel a piece in a few months.

Jason Abbadon · 10-05-2011, 08:28 AM

I hope so! That Zues bot is making great custom fodder- I'm thnking some sort of mandroid might work from it as well...and the toys have this great feature that lets you swap their arms and legs to customize your own robots- a VERY cool toy feature that they could have skipped.

My son wants some and we are going to see the movie tomorrow.

Maybe I'll pick a couple up after the flick.

I thought that's what it's supposed to be, a modern take on Rock 'em Sock 'em

Rock 'em Sock 'em
Real Steel

Has anyone picked up the Build & Brawl set from Target? I want to be interested in this toyline but it's not grabbing me too much, honestly the light ups really throw me off from the smaller figures.

CLASSIFIED · 10-17-2011, 03:50 PM

I saw the movie and it almost made me cry several times.

My son has Atom and Zeus, and they're actually pretty fun to play with.
