    So true. If they come in robot mode, that’s how they stay. If in alt, I grudgingly get around to transforming at some point. Love Transformers, just not transforming.

    Uh, 4 here. Mine are robots and robots only. To hell with the frustration of going back and forth with these guys. I pray every one of mine come in alt mode so I can transform them one time and never do it again.

    Yes. Just knowing they CAN transform is good enough for me.

    If I want to flip a figure back and forth I'll pick up a legends class figure.

    Me too....

    I'm definately a fat-fingered oaf and transforming robots is not one of my gifts....

    I am also terrible at following directions. It's a "how to" video on youtube or it's staying in alt mode.....

    Me too. With how complex these toys are nowadays, I think i’d Rather defuse a nuclear bomb than try and transform one without suffering some sort of damage

    At the risk of having people jump on me for my (admittedly unpopular) opinion. I don't think going for a nicer jet look versus the poorly detailed animation jet is at all detrimental. As long as it doesn't noticeably compromise the bot mode and they get the colors right so you can tell one jet from another in alt mode. I'd argue that their blurry jet modes aren't as iconic to the characters as Blitzwing's flying wedge mode and I think it' be an upgrade more widely desired than my disliked opinion of Blitzwing looking more like a MiG-25

    FansToys should just make new Action Masters for the old men here who clearly enjoy letting bad QC slide because they never do anything with their toys but stare at them.

    What does bad QC have to do with not transforming figures?

    I'm an old collector that owns most of these (no Quietus yet) and I have transformed all the others multiple times with no issues. When did Transformers collectors become so afraid to Transform their figures?

    Looking at Goose I wonder what the ports in his shins are for? Could these be for landing gear or could this be structured like Menasor, where the main robot provides a frame for all the other to plug into?

    Skydive/Goose tends to be a leg in combined mode, so it could be a plug for the combined foot. Then again, so was Air Raid/Iceman and there is no plug on him. Curious to see what it's for on the finished product.

    These screenshots make it obvious how terribly out of scale the autobot MP carbots are. the carbots look good coming up to Iron hides shoulder and you can see them here and they look fine being not much shorter than the aerial bots. its only bumble bee and powerglide that are waist height to everything
