Forms Robo (フォームスロボ) was a small line of Japanese-exclusive soft-rubber figurines (known in their country of origin as keshigomu) produced by Takara in 1987. The series was made up of ten different characters from Transformers 2010, each one sold in an individual baggie (as opposed to blindpacked, like many previous keshigomu were) and available in four colors; red, yellow, blue and green. Each figure stands at around three inches tall.
The similarity of the Forms Robo figures to the earlier keshigomu that would become known as "Decoys" upon their release in Hasbro markets has meant that Western fans commonly use the "Decoy" nomenclature to refer to them as well, usually with the modifier of "large" or "giant", given that they are roughly twice the height of a normal Decoy figure.
