The robot mode and general aesthetics are hideous but the set doing zero partsforming is always interesting.
I'll be keeping an eye on this. It has that horrible early third party combiner aesthetic but somebody needs to conquer the partsforming hurdle with Devastator.
I'm still pinning my hopes on MMC, but they are moving at a snail's pace.

If you don't mind the arms and legs being swapped, there's Mecha Invasion. It has a sleek, modernized aesthetic, reasonable articulation, decent paint, a little die cast, everything is integrated, the weapons combine, LED eyes, transformations are relatively simple and best of all, it's cheap. Around $50 per member, sold in three two-packs. It's amazing how much value they stuffed into these guys. Aside from the arm and leg positions, it's also unfortunately at an awkward scale with the individual bots at MP while Devy is roughly big Generations. Thinking about picking up the rumored yellow set myself.

Wow. I actually like that. Swapping the limbs is surprising, but I get it. Scavenger and Bonecrusher just don't have enough space to store forearms of any decent size. And Scrapper has always been a terrible foot. They managed to sidestep both issues.
I kinda wish they swapped Long Haul and Hook too but that would probably lead to crane dong. Plus, this set's option to fold it away or use as a shoulder cannon is really cool. My favorite detail is Hook's abs being Devastator's forehead
There's just no problem to be solved by switching Long Haul and Hook. This designer didn't change things for change's sake. Everything here is a functional improvement. I am seriously impressed.
In that case the problem solved would be the lack of crane dong. There is a large dearth of crane dong among construction vehicle combiners

This looks like a must-have. I'd rather try painting the chrome, but the arm and leg stickers are exactly what this toy needs, and the price isn't crazy.
Those chrome stickers look awful. Just get a paint marker.
Yeah I plan to ignore the chrome stickers. But the rest of it is way beyond what I could do with paint.
Scrapper is an amazing foot, what are you talking about.
my issue is they still include stickers that nobody fuckin wants or needs
like all you need to do is give us stickers that match the sticker detail from the original toy's stickers
that's it, we don't need like...eye stickers or those window stickers. hell i watched a video reviewing those stickers and they include a sticker to cover the lightpiping bit on the top of the head
It's an extremely niche business. Maybe they're a ripoff, but I wouldn't be surprised if they genuinely can't make a profit without all the obvious padding.
There was a time when they didn't die cut their labels; I feel like I remember when they first introduced the pre-cut labels, that customers had the option to pay extra to get them cut on select sets. Once they made pre-cut labels standard, I think they had to consolidate their upgrade options into single sets to keep costs down. Of course, this means there will always be labels that don't get used and create padding, but I'm not sure the sets would be significantly cheaper if they pared them down.
to be fair, a lot of the time I didn't use all the stickers in G1 either. so does that mean Hasbro owes me money? XD
Are they using standard sizes for the sticker sheets? If so, we're stuck paying for the whole thing anyway so it might as well have something on it.
Three goddamn sets of windows.
you might want to change your mind later and with options you can that
The only people who should pay for indecision are the indecisive.
studio series 86 optimus prime is peak.
