That's just inexcusable on a 3P toy from 2015. Instant pass.
The chest plate on the g1 figure in robot mode is used as a shield

So... if you liked everything about this figure sans chestplate, you would still pass? Parts integration is that important to you?Delta Magnus wrote:From what I've seen, the chestplate does absolutely nothing outside of combined mode.

Well it wouild have to be a fantastic figure for me to overlook a design flaw of that size. Combiner kibble that does nothing outside of the combined mode was acceptable in the 80s, but not in 2015. Hands and feet I can sort of accept, but anything else, no. Really, the chestplate shouldn't even be a separate piece.

Well... I hate to backtrack, but as a screenshot pointed out, they could be rather large. But I've also seen Abominus square off with Computron and they're the same size. So the cartoon isn't the be all end all. In my opinion, there is no be all end all for G1 scale debates. It's all subjective, so everyone should just make their own justifications and buy what they want.

I think calling that a "design flaw" is going way out of bounds. Obviously, the designer doesnt share your beliefs. It wasnt that he overlooked anything. All that extra fiddle play just raises the price. I would like FP Motormaster so much better if you didnt have to reconstruct half the trailer out of combiner parts. Its no fun. If I wanted a puzzle, I would buy Rubix Cube. I would rather just toss all that stuff in a box when I dont need it. I love what Toyworld did with their combiner. K.I.S.S.

What Toyworld did with their combiners was an absolute travesty and put me off both their Dinobots and their Throttlebots. Having that much useless combiner kibble is utterly unacceptable in 2015, especially when HasTak are doing such a good job with their combiners (even the hands and feet do stuff). Ordin is especially disappointing given that from the beginning it looked like they were going to properly integrate the parts, with the feet forming neat missile pods. But then they went and made the hands and the chestplate do nothing at all and it ruined it for me. If HasTak can do it I damn well expect it out of a 3P.
I know some simpletons may have difficulty coping with such intimidating concepts as "spatial awareness" and "not being a hamhands" but not all of us are total klutzes that can't handle any significant amount of engineering. Honestly X, with all your whining about how parts integration "ruins" figures, complaining about complicated engineering and general opposition to Transformers doing any actual transformation, I'm surprised you don't just collect non-transforming action figures and static versions of their alt modes.

Please lets not get into anymore discussion whether Throttler or Ordin are MP or CHUG scaled toys.

The defination of a HasTak Third party toy. Is a bigger toy class than the original toy scale. Much more articulation, Higher sculpt. toys that look like they were sculpted for adults fans and not for young kids. Think UT Ordin team members and TW Throttler team members fit these requirements to get called MP TF toys.
