HASBRO international seems to be offering yet another way for some collectors to get a hold of the "oh so cute" ROBOT HEROES non-transforming toys.
It seems these blind packed figures are to be made available to many foreign countries including Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Malaysia.
There is apparently no difference in paint detailing on these figures to their US released counterparts. Transformers available seem to be from the G1 series of ROBOT HEROES and include favorites Bumblebee, Mirage, Optimus Prime, Autobot Jazz, Rodimus, Grimlock, Insecticon, Starscream, Shockwave, and Soundwave, but it could be possible that more will be revealed to be available.
You can see the original information at TFW 2005 here, with a picture of the package, as well as, the individual Transformers out of package.

You never know, They might not do a North American run like this, but personally I perfer to buy the two packs than to deal with blind packaging, or box/set ratios.
That said, this is great for people who are interested in making the "robot hero x-mas ornaments" discussed last week. Buy a box and you can kit out a tree.

Im glad we got visible two packs. I want all the G1 robot heroes and it would be frustrating as all hell having doubles and constantly rebuying single figures.

I really do have to agree. Just imagine if you kept getting Starscream like 10 times, and all you really wanted was an Insecticon? Blind packs are good for some things, not so good for others. I personally do not like blind packs when collecting is involved.
