Of topic real quick, what are these "friction adders" you speak of. I don't know because I haven't bought any HF stuf..at all.
It's simply a link that fits over an existing piece with a ball joint. Basically you can think of it as a piece that adds a bit of height without adding an extra point of movement. But they also have a bit of rubber inside the ball joint cup to add some friction.

I dare say that bot and spaceship Bumblebee are badass!
My son loves hero factory, so he may like these. Those aforementioned friction joints keep things steady, but pop off easier than Titanium figures.

I've never liked the bionical/hero factory stuff, the limb connectors break way to easily. While some of these look nice I believe I'll be passing, cool idea though.
Wrestling is just a male soap opera, though less believable.

It looks to me like they transform by folding up and then you move around a few parts like wheels or accessories. So...minimal disassembly required?

Geez, what do you do to your poor Bionicles? I played the crap out of mine when I was a kid and I never broke a single part. That stuff is made sturdy.
