More robots of Real Steel revealed in toy line

real steelIn Real Steel, Hugh Jackman plays a boxer who missed his chance at the title when robots replaced humans in the ring. Instead of wasting away his talents as a promoter, he decides to team up with his son to train a robot they pulled out of the junk heap into a boxing champion.

We got our first look at some of the aforementioned robot fighters in the two trailers that dropped, and then Comic-Con attendees got up-close and personal with the brawler ‘bots last month in San Diego. Now we have yet another look at the robots of Real Steel, courtesy of imagery from the upcoming toy line.

Posted at Entertainment Earth, the images from the Real Steel toy line feature seven of the film’s robot boxers in varying forms, including several versions of the robot Jackman’s character and his son (played by Dakota Goyo) train in the film, Atom.

Also included in the line is the blue “Noisey Boy” robot seen in the trailer, as well as the two-headed “Twin Cities” robot, the massive “Zeus,” and toys for the gold-plated “Midas” and the Stetson-wearing “Six-Shooter,” among other ‘bots.

The toy line will be released in waves, with the first set available this month and subsequent sets released throughout the rest of August and into September. Along with the basic line of figures, there will a Deluxe set and various boxing-ring style playsets.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked
Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
