Congratulations on purchasing this fine Real Gear Robots product! With this purchase, you’ve uncovered one of the most closely held secrets on Earth. Known to only a very few humans. The power of the Allspark has been unleashed, and the machines all over the world have come alive. Unlock their secrets, and join the battle!

I’ve already gone through the packaging for Takara Tomy’s Transformers Real Gear Robots Spy Shot 6. Now it’s time to look at the toy itself.

Real Gear Robots, contrary to my previous assertion (and as pointed by Microbry), aren’t 1:1 scale like the Microchange figures of old. You could argue that some of them are but I think it’s more accurate to say these toys are primarily meant to be child-size toy replicas. I’m sure Hasbro and Takara could’ve gone with the 1:1 scale across the subline but they probably opted not to in order to keep production costs down. The other possible consideration is a 1:1 scale gadget like a videocam might be unwieldy in a kid’s hands.

The cheap price point is not necessarily a bad thing. It may mean the toys lack details but on the plus side, it also means the toys aren’t saddled with some stupid gimmick like Autosmurf or whatever it is that’s in the movie figures. Sometimes toy designers can be a bit too clever for their own good.

So, anyway, Spy Shot 6.
