And they have that Animated style so Double Crap.

Those old McDonalds Happy Meal toys that transform from the menu are cooler.

I was gonna buy the Decepticon one, since my Transformers flatbrim cap is an Autobot one, but these pictures have totally sold me on the Autobot one. The colors and face are too awesome. Must own.

Anyone know when/if BBTS is gonna start taking pre-orders?

Well, is there a story to go along with them? 'Cause I see interesting possibilities, mostly starting with a Decepticon mind-control plot.

Say, anyone remember that kids' show with the mannequin that came to life whenever someone put his magic hat on him? Well maybe the mannequin was actually a transtector...damn, If I could remember the name of that show, I'd already be researching it on Youtube for future fanfic.

Cap-Bots RULE!!!

Nice! Thank you! :grin:

Do I have to buy them both? I'd be fine with just getting Optimus Prime.

Now just give me a Starscream that turns into a top hat, and I'll buy.

The Megatron looks awesome, but I don't think I would ever actually pick one up. Cool idea though, like the shoes they released a few years back.

No! Of course they can't be worn. They're not real hats. Seriously, who would ask that?

What if

Mario wears one of them? Possession? Strength? The choice to join either team?

I could see if this were a Hasbro product that they could work with MLB, NHL, NFL and the NBA and license these out and have them in sports stadium souvenir shops

I hate flat brimmed hats, but I'll grab these for the oddity factor.

I want them, but I wouldn't pay for them.

If I had the shoe bots I'd be interested in these for an oddities shelf.

But I don't, so they are a skip.

I think the OP looks pretty cute. But I don't need to spend a lot of money on pure novelty.

does anyone know how big these are? I might get them if they're a good size! :-B

Re: Color Images: Takara Tomy Transformers Cap Bots (1426023)
Posted by TheEggmaster on October 2nd, 2012 @ 9:42pm CDT

so Im buying unwearable hats that probably cost more than a set of real hats? The only reason im getting these is to use their faces for something, other than that, not interested. >:oP

What a waist of plastic. Melt these caps and make an original new classics figure!!

I wonder what would Optimus Prime say to the Autobots...

O. Prime: Autobots TRANSFORM and... wait for the wind to blow you away??

Man, I love that Autobot figure.
