if articulation is something you like, then transformers ain’t for you buddy. they’re giant hunks of metal, not exactly Spider-Man.

To show how cool and dynamic they are compared to the poorer robot figures that are out there.

Hasbro is well known to have lazy poses for their stock photos. They're mistransformed half the time too.

>>8234162
Most mainline transformers these days don't even use diecast, and have excellent articulation

Probably because many of them don’t actually pose all that well so there’s some stock poses they default to make them look a little more dynamic.

Those are some of the only action poses you can pull off without and ab crunch or better feet. Gun arm out, other arm "balancing", head aimed at target, feet lightly spread. Any more and they'll fall over, and more they'll look like bricks.

There's a reason the community went nuts over Spinister having the ability for surprisingly good poses.

their gimmick of transforming severely limits what they can really do

Most transformers are posable enough to get some dynamic or striking shots out of and have been since at least Cybertron. Hasbro is just lazy which is why they never even used the ankle tilts.
Spinister is honestly the best we've gotten out of transformers articulation in a 6 years you reall wonder why they didnt just continue this from the start

i tend to believe that if transformers didnt transform, they'd pose better or at least LOOK better.

Obviously, but then they'd be Marvel Legends and Figuarts tier of boring repetition and zero imagination reuse of engineering.

This is true - I've seen many mistransformed, lazily posed official shots from Hasbro.

Oh you don't want non-transforming Transformers where each character is the exact same figure with a slightly different face?

Sometimes I like to look up custom of characters when I pick up a new figure. There's not much for Injector besides a couple of digibashes.

I bought a complete one the other day because he was one of the only fuzors I still didn't have. Honestly, I kind of love him, but wtf were they thinking? Like his entire fish part is his head. It's so weird. He has a lot of really nice sculpted detail that I wasn't expecting and at least he has good articulation.

I didn't know he showed up in cyberverse, but I like how sleek they made him. I wish we'd gotten a figure of this version.

I love that guy, my parents got it for me so many years ago. Nothing else seems to fit with him, so he stands alone on my mantle.

This figure always got way too much crap. He's got a waist swivel, pseudo butterfly joints, a fun articulating jaw, and a pretty clean form in both modes. Like a lot of later Beast Wars figure, he also works well as a kaijin for Tokusatsu crossovers.
