Fanstoys stans are on a whole different level. “They only made figures of these characters that traditionally combine and they showed off renders of the combined form alongside the figures. You can’t expect that the toys would combine!”

Tarn is the only cool member of the Dunderhead Jobber Dudes anyway.

Looks like a stock Hulktank to me.

Impulse bought Jhiaxus despite my reservations of him possibly yellowing badly. Pretty good but damn does the little red thing on his shoulder bother me with how it sits crooked in jet mode if you skip the partsforming.

Both of them still don’t have many games that aren’t just last gen with better load times though. Yeah, the naming is almost as bad as the Wii U.

Huh, a cheap, decent-looking Sixshot that isn't absurdly huge for the new generations scale? Think I'll grab one. Tank mode is worse than usual but the car mode actually sort of looks like a truck in this one. I actually like the slimmer proportions and non-giganticness for someone who's...

Sounds like a Sony/Microsoft problem, not a me problem. I’ll wait.

The Monstructor dudes have two winged four-legged things and the Dinobots none. The sixth Dinobot in the combination could theoretically be a winged four legged thing and be used twice but I wouldn’t bet on it. They’d still be short three squat bipedal things anyhow, two of which form vital...

I’ll worry about next gen when they actually get to making next gen games.

Lio Convoy’s long, derpy lion face and soulless eyes makes the beast mode end up looking like the talking chimera from Fullmetal. You know the one.

Seeing how the main cast transform off-screen like 90% of the time, the CSI dudes not being far off from the average movie robots and mostly being reused models, the transformium crap was most likely just a way to cheap out on the animation budget. The designs weren’t any more impossible than...

Oh god, I just remembered what this thing's face and soulless eyes reminded me of. Spoilers for Fullmetal Alchemist

They also suck. You should not look at one of those things and go "hold my beer"

Even the pretenders did stuff with the arms and legs, even if it was just to fold them to the sides of the resulting vehicle. That’s how low the standards were at the time and the Monstructor components don’t even reach that level. They’re so crap that the plastics used in creating them gained...

Most of them have a single panel that swaps their heads out, making all three of their modes basically the same exact thing. Being even simpler than a Micromaster is not anything commendable.

Tarn looks great. No obvious corner-cutting and looks about as good as the 3P ones at around a third of the cost. Glad i sold off my MMC Tarn before the value tanked

TBH, they might not bother with Monstructor since if they're keeping the dinosaur altmodes, this may be specifically intended as Dinoking to capitalize off Victory Saber. Of course, Core class means that Dinoking will reach Victory Saber's knee if he's lucky so IDK

I saw a cover for an Iron Man comic. I dunno why they insist on the "leotard with a funny helmet" look. It never looked good.

Even with how bad Sludge’s flank-legs are, there’s no way this gets close to the almost parodic lack-of-hugs of the g1 toys. The g1 Monstructor parts are so low-effort that 4/6 of them don’t even bother outside flipping heads and the last two swipe the standard micromaster transformation.

I'd probably be into it if it didn't translate into a combiner that stands roughly as tall as Optimus. Also, Sludge looks absolutely awful.
