Over a decade ago, I gave my Robots in Disguise Car Brothers to a non-collecting friend as a gift, and they’d been sitting in his garage for all that time. Having just cleaned out that garage he dropped them off to me again, thinking I’d have more use for them now than when I gave up the hobby back then. The Car Robots Mach Alert, Speedbreaker and X-Brawn became Robots In Disguise Prowl, Sideburn and again, X-Brawn. Playing with those excellent toys again, something dawned on me. Car Robots is now almost as old as Generation 1 was when Car Robots first came out. Blast From The Past | Source Blog <- CLICK TO READAll the best Maz

Amen to that. Simple as it was, the 1980s Diaclones were really beyond its time back then. Sure they weren't poseable and all but they had bulk, weight and gravitas.
P.S. That particular mold, Prowl 2 sucks in a sense that both my default version and his supermode release broke in the same area...shoulder joint. WTF?

Our appeal might be generational too. I have discovered so many Transformers fans love RID designs. In the cartoon they were cool butthe toys are ugh.
Some even claim that the toys are MP quality!!
