>>5936283For me at least, it isn't the transformations, but rather the lack of retooling between releases. Deadend to Streetwise was fine, but Alpha Bravo to Blades was lazy. Hell, none of the Brakedown or Offroad molds had different weapons. I got so fucking sick of those axes.
Blast-Off is by far the worst example since he's not only a jet, but a straight recolor of another mold. They do a fuckton of retooling to get from Rook to Swindle,then do jack shit for Blast-Off. Even fucking Trailbreaker got a new head, arms, and HFG.
It was the shock of going from the heavy retools of Wave 3 to the headswaps of wave 4 to the recolors of wave 5 that killed the combiner hype.
