Huh. If I were in my pre-teen years, I might find this rather amusing in a good way. Looks interesting!

Ooh, I just noticed on the box that each of the robos in the line transforms into a geometric shape.
the brown and yellow bots look cool. Are you planning to cover anymore of them?

I've had a thought that that would be a good idea for an accessory mecha line for Super Sentai- geometric shapes that transform into weapons or extra limbs...

Also

I observed that the shapes which the robots turn into ALSO correlate to the "tower" of shapes on the back box art. It looks like these bots have a combining gimmick of some sort.

Enthusiast, is there any way to separate the robot into two sphere halves? Like at the waist joint while in ball form?

The whole set can be found here, along with pictures of the combined units. Definitely looks like a decent set of robots, if you're into this sort of design

Wow. Those, uhh... those

Wow. Those, uhh... those aren't half bad! The pyramid's kinda painful with the stick limbs, but there rest are decent enough.

the rest

They do indeed combine into a tower, but I'm missing the spaceship so it's kind of pointless. The ball does separate into halves. The pyramid is the weakest, but the others are nice. I like the orange polygonal prism thing the best.

YEEEEAAAAHHHH

YEEEEAAAAHHHH

Ahem. I was looking at the picture on the front page and getting all excited trying to figure out what it transformed into. I was thinking either a Buddhist style bell or maybe a stupa. I clicked the link and...well, I wasn't as excited.

Awesome! You've inadvertently helped me out; I saw a pic of this and the other bots in the line awhile back, but I had no way of figuring out just what the heck they were. Best I could figure was "shape bots" but obviously it brought up nothing. Now I know! Thanks!
