>>11291349>A whole line of articulated quad-changer combiners? What made Takara think that was possibly going to work? If nothing else it was ambitious.Aaron archer talks about how during the Beast Era, Takara kept trying to show gimmick ideas to Hasbro that just didn't work because there's less space on beasts than vehicles. The UT is basically them using years of ideas they couldn't do before, for better or worse.
Energon is peak growing pains because it's inbetween them trying to do gimmicks that work better with more g1 style bricks, and more articulated toys. If you imagine the Energon Autobots as more brick, Brave style toys, they'd work better.
