Item Description

Remember that part in Big where Tom Hanks is working at that toy company, and some guy comes up with a prototype for a robot that turns into a building? And then Tom Hanks says something to the effect of, "I don't get it? Why is a robot that transforms into a building fun?"

He's right, a building is dull. But at least a building has some function.

If your good or evil robot organization included a guy that transformed into a building, maybe other robots could live in him, or have meetings in him, or something. Or they could rent out the space to people, and then use the money they earn to build new robots that transformed into something cool, like speedboats or motorhomes.

The Rock Lords, however, transform not into speedboats, not into motorhomes, not even into a stupid building. They transform into rocks. Rocks!

I've seen turtles with better special skills than that! How is transforming into a rock supposed to be fun, or even useful?

Once you had transformed into a rock, was another robot supposed to throw you at the bad guys? Or were they supposed to pile you in front of the door to the fortress? Or carve you into a fitting memorial for their fallen, non-sucky robot comrades? What?!

And to make the whole thing that much dumber, they're not even consistent with their motif. Two of these Rock Lords transform from rocks into dinosaur-like, organic looking creatures. They show no indication of electronic or mechanical type ornamentation.

The third one, however, has skinny mechanical arms, and a full on, "Number 5 is alive" robot head! What's the deal people?! Are they powerful living rocks, or robots designed by a frustrated geologist?

At any rate, these toys are in perfect condition, probably as a result of being too stupid to play with.
