Well for what it's worth they did remake Onslaught and was was $20. So in a perfect world they would all received the voyager treatment that combines efficiently and Swindle would have a damn arm cannon for once in his life. But then there's that constant naging about the pricing issue and how hard it would be for Hasbro to get retail to bite.... So oh well, it's not FP quality but it's not the worst thing that Hasbro has ever made either. So one way or another you still have options.
Even if i dont buy all of it (which if i get a chance to i will do so in an instant) I am hoping to at least get swindle and Brawl
Four topics about the same damn toy on the toy forum's front page. Two of which are about the same exact thing, just with different opinions stated in the first post. This is insane.
This poll is too limited on choices and doesn't have the one I would choose (or one even close to able to choose) so I have to pass on this vote.
same here. First thing that popped into my head when I read the thread title was that crying brittney guy
I'm in the "It's not transformed correctly" camp. The Blastoff arm looks as if it can compress up so it's more in shuttle mode, with Blastoff's legs not folded out. The joint only looks like it can bend inwards anyway (as there is no waist joint), so folding it upwards doesn't really prevent any poseability. Also, the legs are a little off kilter, and I'm sure if the angled his legs and stood him up a little straighter it would look a lot better. The shoulders though are what's bothering me. They have those huge blocks in them when a simple, shorter block would do.
I'm buying one because I'm curious about current combiner engineering. But I'm pretty sure I won't be keeping him.
LOL... love it! First, we bitch because Hasbro doesn't do proper combiners. Now, we bitch because they are! Granted, I think this Frankenheimer bot does look a tad gangly and weird (kinda like a glorified PCC), but I'm glad Hasbro is at least dipping its toe back into the Deluxe gestalt arena. Now, if they continue the trend and combiner bot #20 down the road is still this horrible, well then, it's Hasbro bashing game on!
I personally, really like the look of this Bruticus. I noticed that the leg joint that connects to Brawl is not put in all the way so I am guessing most of our pet peeves are a result of mistransformation. In any case it is way better than the Deluxe Knock Out.
