>>6429719>An entire size class was compromised in order to be able to form an arm or a leg.Because that's part of what the characters were. A Swindle toy wouldn't be a real Swindle toy if it didn't also transform into a limb. If you wanted more complex shit there were three (3) other size classes to choose from.
>Motormaster was complete trashonly in the torso mode. It's a completely serviceable Motormaster toy individually.
>the combiners needed third party add ons to look halfway decent.at least I have an option for making them look decent, unlike TR which are permanently stuck with trashy heads.
>Headmasters are a thingYeah, maybe for all of like eight characters they did that were actually headmasters. But for everyone else no.
>But.. why though? Partsforming. Head silhouettes ruined. Articulation ruined. You can't look at Scourge or Astrotrain and tell me with a straight face that it looks better with all that headmaster shit hanging behind their faces. Or Krok's and Nautica's head shapes being completely wrong because they're forced to be squares. Or Overlord having black bits showing and a wrong helmet shape because of the shitty gimmick.
>It doesn't monopolize the figure in any way like combining didYes it does. I can ignore the combining gimmick. I can't ignore headmasters.
>It actually added play valueSo did combiner wars except the "added play value" was actually something good instead of
>DUDE I CAN CHANGE THIS HEAD INTO AN UNPAINTED ROBOT AND MOVE IT TO THIS CAVITY WHERE I CAN'T EVEN SEE IT LMAO>>6429728The truck mode is fine though.
