What does /toy/ think of non-transforming figures of transforming robots? Any you own/want to buy/want to be made?

I think they're alright, sometimes being able to transform causes one or both of the modes to he compromised so none transforming version have their benefit.
The only none transforming transforming toy I plan to buy is that Super7 Bludgeon, though maybe that doesn't count since the pretender shell never transformed in the first place.

Depends. I don't mind if it's something like Zeta or Wing Gundam. In Valkyrie's case, fighter mode is the primary one, so I'd rather have non-transforming fighter valk than battroid valk.

Yeah, I really want to try a hasegawa 1/48 but I'm shit with glueing. Snap-fit is my ceiling as far as plamodels go.

If it's a figure, I want it to transform, if it's a model kit, I'd rather have it be stable and not require me to do extensive modifications to make it stable than have the transformation. Partsforming is perfectly acceptable with a model kit, in fact it's usually better.

I mainly collect Transformers so non-transforming figures aren't a priority. I don't hate them but they're not really for me. That being said, Flame Toys Tarn is the best action figure I've ever owned, which he damn well should be considering the price.

I'm okay only if
-it's impossible to make them good looking/accurate and transformable because of how complex/complicated that would make them (Transformers movie bots, Getter Robo, etc.)
-if they're cheap and small like SRC

Most of the time I really prefer it. The best casr to me is the Ka Signature Ex-S Gundam. The flight mode for it is pretty ugly, so I really did not need it to transform. And it doesn't, thankfully. I never would have transformed it, so all the effort on this was put into one mode, and it is friggin glorious, one of the best toys I own.

I'm fine with them. 9 times out of 10 I prefer the robot form anyway.

Personally I like transforming figures even if I don't use the transformation much because giving them a transformation makes them look more intricate and detailed. One thing I dislike on non transforming version of figures, moreso on non-Gundams, is when details are flattened out or not sculpted on nontransforming versions.

I think Hasbro intentionally ruined that dream. i only have one RED and it's pretty shitty. Not like their previous RiD Arcee was any better

I get why they exist but I'm just not interested. The entire appeal of transformers to me is that they can transform. If they can't transform...you get the point. I also really enjoy the actual transformation play feature of them. I transform most of the toys in my collection at least a few times a weak, some of them like Grimlock I transform like every day. I get not wanting to transform a toy with an shitty transformation but I still want the option.

Inexcusable for Transformers but I'm willing to accept it for other franchises.

I think transformation exists just to justify a price point or just an incentive. I rarely care about the vehicles they turn into, just how well a robot mode looks/functions in dealing with all that kibble, and that was Animated's biggest challenge

This piece of shit in no way benefitted from not being able to transform.

I wish one of the third party Transformers companies would dedicate all their efforts into making 100% comic accurate Sakamoto figures. I don't even care if they transform.

I prefer transformation, but don’t care how it works. If it’s partsforming or there’s pieces on the box is fine. With transforming figures the appeal is to get all modes in one figure.

If it's 6" or under I'd rather it non-transform to maintain a nice sculpt and articulation. If it's a large, premium figure, I think it should be able to change

I prefer them over transforming toys since they deliver on range, looks and stability over their transforming counterparts. I don't see the worth of transforming toys in the high end range when the act of flipping between the modes makes it more likely to damage the finish of the toy; feels like one of those gimmicks only ultra autismos like TFags obsess over even though they'll only engage with it once and never again with high end offerings.

I used to glue transformers in their transformed state because I liked the vehicle. Does that count?
