>>5846743That is just a simple cash in and nothing to do with the show apart from the name and likeness, that said they look kinda nifty and would be something I'd buy after getting extra work pay out of impulse
>>5846760On one hand you're correct, on the other they don't fit into any toy line as they mix movie stuff with g1, and mostly a cash in on the line.
My idea is based on armor attachments on already playable toys, those constructobots are convertible bionicle, you don't need to "build" armor that goes over a pre-constructed toy (they'd have a base body so loosing the given armor would only loose a small feature not like headmasters where they loose heads or combiners without hfg's can't combine), of course this might be used in said hasbro meeting as a reason for why it shouldn't exist so its a fair call
Trying to inject create innovation in a world full of budgets, and the need to "step back" into proven ideas is the easy way out, bit like why cars keep resorting to fossil fuels, because it works, but the need to go forwards is hard and scary for new adopters.
Purpose of what I'm trying to see if there is hope for the brand in the future, we can't keep pumping out combiners forever and ever (as much as, admittedly, I LOVE combiner wars), people would get sick of power masters and minicons, sometimes an old brand needs a new push
