>>6410466I don't disagree (especially given the huge amount of modifications I gave to my sets, but I did the same with G1, so), but I'm fairly sure the shit budget they had to work with was a bigger factor than you might think. Take a look at the concept art and you'll see how much cohesive the characters look. They even had planned some neat pieces like a metal-like shell for Umarak. But it seems Lego went all "Nu-uh" with a lot of good ideas they had.
Frankly I'm impressed they still managed to make sets like Umarak or Master Kopaka or Onua.
