    Maybe I\'d like this more if the colors blended better.

    So they're dredging up the old Energon gimmick, just not as interesting looking.

    Ahem if I may remind people of those old G1 multiforce guys that everyone forgets that the combiner force line gimmick is more like that than energon's gimmick.

    gah activators... thats a sub-line I hoped had died.

    toy looks ok kinda shocked they didn't do a mix and match shot with side swipe and prime to show that off but hey it's not important.

    At the risk of sounding disparaging, at least they fit within that "could've been so much better" theme that most of the Robots in Disguise toys share.

    This is what they would look like if you bought the 3 currently known packs and mixed them around. This line has potential.

    Wow digging deep with that one. I had to look those up. As a G1 kid I had never heard of those outside of the US line. And I tapped out on TF after Micromasters till the G2 line came along.

    I looked it up on YouTube for some vids on it and yeah it is very similar. Still it looks like everyone walks around like they're hold something between their buttocks or on stilts.

    I'm referring to the bots' legs by the way.

    If they took RID from RID, Mini-cons from Armada, and Combiners from Energon does this mean that the next gimmick is gonna be cyber planet keys and good articulation?

    Only one I'm really interested in is the plane/boat one. Reminds me of wingwaver from victory

    I'm sure someone will do the entire multiforce on the radicons threads.

    Aside from Neo-Wingwaver, the Combiner Force guys really don't work. What made the Multiforce guys (and Energon, to an extent) work is that both components could switch between torsos and legs. Here, Prime is always going to be the torso and Strongarm is always going to be the legs. Which limits the possibilities of customisation.

    I feel Energon did the gimmick much better now when you had 2 robots that could combine and either could be the torso or legs.

    If they were any simpler they'd be one step changers. Let the "They're meant for kids..." excuses begin!

    Oh man, some exciting CGI, I wonder what it all leads up to. (Kid transforms the toy)... that was uneventful.
