What gimmicks wpuld you like to see the transformers 4 figures to have?

I'd settle for the line actually completing the cast. That'd be an awesome gimmick.

Scale. That's the one gimmick never pulled off properly that I'd love to see.
Aside from that, the ONLY gimmick I ever liked was the clip system.

I just fear that the biggest gimmick we'll see is the TF4 line's ability to kill the Prime line.

Except that by then, Prime will be over and the toyline will be shelfwarming while they wait to release TF4.

Honestly, I would LOVE the microns.

If ever TF was packed with some sort of targetmaster I think that would be cool. Looks like its going well for the Microns..bring it here!

Not to be festering piles of insectal dog-shit.

Now THAT would be a gimmick...

Ohh yes, those are great as long as the fit the flow of the design.

Good realistic sculpts and lots of paint.

Quality would be the best gimmick ever.

I think just having them Transform is gimmick enough.

Adding gimmicks tends to take away from the overall product.

Time and money are spent focusing more on a weapon or unique transformation.

The most current example being Prime RID Voyager Optimus Prime.

Numerous people have either kitbashed or done away with his gun entirely.

Granted there are a few exemptions to the rule.

To be short I prefer simplicity beyond anything.

yeah no gimmicks for me thats what kept me from buying any of the DOTM toys. Gimmicks are garbage. A toy that transforms is all the gimic ya need lol.. Unless it's a Headmaster gimmick them im all for that

Must admit, alot of people are wanting weapon gimicks. To be hounest I would like to see lots more weapons for them. Like with topspin and leadfoot. I want some intergrated and some that are removable like ques. I also think that completing the cast and having them size acurate would be a good gimmick!
