>>6510838>I can understand why CW needed some compromises and I don't really mind themIf by compromises you mean "having bland-looking robots turn into bland-looking cars that combine into bland-looking combiners just for the sake of hastily selling 20 repaints for each mold" then honestly, I don't think it was particularly worth it.
>Optimus and Megatron were trash and wasted potential because whoever designed them had no fucking clue of what to make with the kibble on any of themWhat kibble? The small sides of a truck in Optimus and the wings in Megatron? Because that is literally some of the most negligible kibble there is, you would be shocked at some Beast Wars figures it that really triggers your autism all that bad.
>both seemed to be made as Action Masters>you people have no standards as long as there's articulationNo, our standards are for aesthetically pleasing robots that turn into cool vehicles, beasts and whatnot. Classics was an absolute success in that regard.
>The deluxes were just sad.Nigga, what are you talking about? Hot Rod and Astrotrain do have their issues, but Bee / Cliff and Mirage are still some of the best Deluxe figures ever made. Grimlock and Starscream / Thundercracker were also fairly solid as far as design goes.
