    Bombshell, Powerglide and Thundercracker look very nice.

    Not too sure about Windcharger.

    I just can't unsee Prime's shins pointing 90 degrees the wrong way in combined mode. It looks like he's squatting bow legged on top of two other robots.

    They really are doing cool things with some of the Legends sized figures, I just wish they came with actual weapons.

    Why are all of these in the combiner wars line if some of them don't combine?

    Because at first we didn't realize that this was all part of the Combiner Wars line. Without knowing about Combiner Wars when it first revealed at BotCon it looked like the new Hasbro designers were really failing but honestly these last few pics really have finally started to win me over.

    And yes we need a new MTMTE Rodimus and that Not-RID Galvatron figures.

    also I think Windcharger is an excellent retool. It's just clicking with me so much.

    We just found out that Legends Windcharger and Legends Thundercracker can form chest armor for Optimus/Motormaster.
    Tailgate and Starscream came out almost a year ago, Legends Optimus too.
    So they can combine, along with their moldmates which leads me to assume that Gears and Swerve can as well.

    Because the only picture was of him squatting in a way that made him look even more stunted in height, along with mistransformed arms so his head looked even smaller due to the perception factor getting all screwed up.

    Also at the time, at least initially, it was not confirmed Motormaster was happening so for all anybody knew at the time, this actually was just going to be Optimus Prime. It's still amusing to me how when people started suggesting that Motormaster was going to happen, other people shouted down the idea as being absolutely moronic. Guess who's laughing now.

    i'm guessing you never went to 5 below.. there were tons of them at five below for $5.. so.. i know PLENTY of people who skipped the ridiculous ebay prices, waited a bit and scored RTS windcharger for $5.

    are you kidding?.. yeah.. they improved from the original.. but then QUICKLY got worse when FOC rolled around.. they shrank they started losing articulation and started getting simpler.. sure, a couple figures have been released since then that aren't too bad, but for the most part they're just getting worse.

    if this is the "update" of prime we're getting, it's truly pathetic.. it looks awful. a fake chest? a fake chest on a classics prime?.. are you kidding? you say that they've come so far in 8 years, but they couldn't give us real windows? hell, they're not even an illusion of real windows, they're just painted squares. and the last time i checked the original has articulated wrists, this certainly doesn't, neither one of them have articulated ankles.. so where are the improvements?

    this new thing is hollow, lacks any real detail, there's barely ANY paint on it at all, and it just overall looks ridiculously cheap and lacks any real effort.

    you're right, it's about time they give us an update.. but this sure as hell isn't the way i wanted it done.

    cool, they want it to combine, but it could've, and should've been a hell of a lot better. i mean, this is worse than the upscaled legends prime.

    are you serious?

    this is the stuff i'm talking about.. people are willing to accept crap because it can combine.. it's the rouse that hasbro is getting over us.. they're making figures that aren't great because they know we love combiners.

    people, like you said, would be disappointed if this didn't have the capability to combine.. but why are we all of the sudden accepting of it because it can?

    i mean.. we're still individually paying for these figures right.. shouldn't they be good on their own?

    3rd parties have proven that individual combiner figures CAN be good figures. i know hasbro isn't able to charge the prices that 3rd parties can.. but the concept is still there.

    it's things like wrist swivels, covering up hollow parts, one or two more paint apps.. quality plastic.. one or two more transformation steps.. is that really too much to ask for?
