    Sounds like a tough call get what makes you happy. For me personally 3P costs a lot but doesn't come with video games and shows to back it up. For me that steps outside of why I like action figures.

    I can completely see why they went the way they did. The Dead End mold is a lot sleeker and doesn't have the air venting and detailing that the Streetwise mold does. The lightbar is incorporated into the body shell, so using the Dead End shell wouldn't have fit with the fenders and hood/front.

    I would have preferred sleeker and lack of air venting to *insert random police lights here*

    As my main collection for combiners are around 30-32cm, I really don't like UW-04 tower over other combiners in my collection. As a result I keep TFC Herc. UW-04 would be better if he is the same size as other CW combiners.

    So you want a toy from the cartoon not cartoonish?

    I remember the time when everyone was saying OH THE THIRD PARTIES THEY MAKE NO MONEY AND ARE JUST MAKING THE PRODUCTS FOR THE FANS!

    if thats the case, why do third party companies pay reviewers to give a positive review to buy their products? WHY ARE THERE SO MANY 3rd Party companies out there anyway? Hilarious.

    Prowl is quickly becoming one of my favorite figures from the this line.

    It helps that the Streetwise mold has the Terminator shotgun.

    Streetwise also comes with a hella cool gunmetal coloured one too that I've given to Prowl more than a few times.

    Engineering got more complex. It's a trade off.

    Regarding CW/UW Devastator hieght, I find it funny some people want a 6 team combiner to be same size as a 5 team combiner. While TFC Herc is same size as the other CW combiners, its style is off. It's like it belongs in Transformers Armada or the Unicron Trilogy series toys. Not gewun enough!

    It could have been as the Constructicons were the only "team" without a "voyager sized" member. Would i have prefered to be scaled with the others? Yes. Is it annoying that it doesnt fit on a shelf? Yes. Do I enjoy the hell out of it anyway? Yes.

    At the end of the day its not a big deal for me

    It works when all of them are closer in size as opposed to other teams being 4 smaller guys and one significantly larger guy. Also Devastator was always the same size as the other combiners in the cartoons, toys and comics before now. That's why people want him to be the same size.

    I agree about Hercules though, I was never really a fan of it.
