For instance:

Optimus Prime.

The Heroes of Cybertron Hasbro line (i'm sure you all know) are just figurines of the G1 transformers in various poses that mimick the G1 poses from the old TV series.

 

Personally, i really love them, cos they remind me of the series. Sure it sucks they don't transform but they do have poseable parts that are interchangeable.

 

What do you guys think of these figures? Which are your favourites and would you like to see more - if so which ones?

I'm all for them. I especially like PM Prime in Apex Armour and Powermaster Gigatron (aka Overlord), and I hope some Generation 2 figures get the same treatment.

 

More specifically, the following ones: Dreadwing with Smokescreen, Megatron, Hero Prime, Hero Megs, Bruticus and Superion. :)

I like them and have all but 4 and 5. Problem here is that the suckiest store chain in Texas was chosen to carry them. Walgreens of course.

Figurines can be cool, but the entire reason I buy Transformers is for the fun value, not the display value.

Yeah, I just can't bring myself to buy nontransforming transformers

Ya know, I never thought I'd want non-transforming Transformers, but the HoC line is really neat. I have Optimus, Megatron, Rodimus, Arcee, Bumblebee, Soundwave, Galvatron, and Cyclonus. They line the top of my TV and do it in style.

 

There's several more I really would love to have, including Starscream with the crown, Wheeljack, and others. If they ever do Grimlock in his bot form I'd grab that, too, but I'm not a huge fan of the T-Rex mode.

 

"Heroes" is a cool line and I recommend them.

Yeah Transformers that don't Transform are like Alcohol that doesn't get you drunk. Still kind of fun but defeats the purpose.

I buy them for display purposes. Heck, I do that with most of the toys I collect. If given the choice, I buy them MIB, and keep them that way.

 

Of course, I did open a Universe toy.....

...that really weirds me out. Isn't it cooler to display toys how you want them, not leaving them in package?

Are there any new ones coming out? And where is Unicrons Figurine at??
