Looks like headphones hooked up to an mp3 player

that's not a real transformer. why is the seller afraid to show the full box picture with the brand name? he calls it a "roborod"...yeah, that sounds about right.

No, that's what it looks like in car-form!

I guess I'll just wait for them to come out at my local toy stores as well as the REAL Transformers Alternators made by Hasbro...IF they ever come out and I hope they do.

I don't have the link anymore, but I was reading about them online, and apparently some Wal-mart's have them for around $3 or $4. I dunno what other stores might carry them though. Apparently, each model comes in two colors, one is silver and the other one is a copper-ish color.

Dude, it is called a RoboRod, made by Maisto. He probably just cut the top of the package out of the pic so you could see the car itself better. Why would he be "afraid" to show it??

Good luck with that. Every tC owner knows tC toys are few and far between. It's pretty much the 1:24 scale Jada's, the 1:64 or whatever the matchbox size ones are, and now these. Apparently the money is in xB toys.

Anyone found these at local stores? I am wondering who carries them? I tried Target w/ no luck. Be easier to know where to check? Probably will check Wal-Mart, Kmart, and KB Toys soon...just looking to confirm who actually stocks them...
