>>10706428>Gone is the kiffle that made this toy unique & fun (+ accurate to the animated media)... instead they're breadboard all of the mold, the knife/gun of the og toy was fucked by 5mm port so it's just a gun.... & a handle for any blast effect (accessory sold separately)I blame all the boomers crying about shellforming and the younger zoomers who only know biased TFwiki articles about it.
Car robots stands out among Transformers because it's the only one that really feels like it was trying to adapt to then-modern Japanese mecha design trends. Maybe Alternity, too. The kibble and spindly, sleek robot mode looks at home with other 2000's; TF has otherwise been stuck in this rut of 80's homages or uncool American animation designs.
I'm already seeing retards in these threads wanting a Big Convoy "without shellforming" because they have no fucking clue that the whole point of the "shellforming" is that every piece is a weapon.
