I'm convinced that if someone working for Hasbro or Takara had taken IH's shield, sliced it into quarters or sixths with a Micro Mark table saw, then glued it back onto IH, he wouldn't have had a shield at all.
>Parts count!
How many parts in the shield compared to molding his biceps and forearms to look like the roof?
>IH has never had shoulder pads!
That's debatable, but I don't think he's ever had a shield or backpack in any media except for this and the Masterpiece.
>G1 sled!
Which was never in any media except for a couple of issues of the Marvel comic and maybe that Towline repaint.
>but fans demanded it anyway!
SHOW ME ONE FAN. ONE. Ranting and raving aside, this is still a really nice toy.
