ok well I was wrong about what parts would be what on the robot mode. But I have to say the treads becoming BM Rat Trap style wheels is a cool idea and I totally didn't see it coming. Now I want to see the other Constructicon's to see if this theme continues

I'd actually say this is his robot mode with those bits of kibble being a different set of arms and parts for the combined form maybe you could twist parts around but with out official photos or some concept its only speculation

 

also I'm not sure if this is an obscure homage or just a coincidence but this guy really gives me a Getter3 vibe

Well, that's why I thought he had giant wheels initially...

 

If those are his robot legs, he just went from must buy to complete pass, wheelchair robots are not cool. At least BM Rattrap had fold out actual legs.

 

Wheel-chair robots are much more realistic. There is no reason why a robot would need to be Bi-pedal.

 

I like the idea of a wheeled robot (again this isn't for all the figures - but some veriety is good.) The only reason that Rattrap (or any other wheeled robot toy) would need fold out legs is to stabilize - I'd be happy with a kickstand or something so that he displays nicely....

There's also no reason to design a robot like a pennyfarthing bicycle, this is all fictional anyway and bipedal is the major configuration we see so I don't see why he shouldn't be. I just don't find giant bulky head, giant bulky torso giant bulky arms and then 10 speed wheels a good combination here. Now I'm hoping he is just part of a combiner and those wheels just fold up and under the shoulders as decoration rather than actual mode of locomotion.

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
