It's been well over a decade since the last brand new combiner concepts were made - which was RiD Landfill and RiD Railracer. Since then, everything has been a rehash or homage to a G1 combiner Character (note that I'm not counting the Minicon combiners, although they're pretty cool)
Now there's a push to bring a new character to the table, and what will it be? Nothing but repaints of existing figures, based on the images that we've seen of the poll thus far.
To paraphrase Hot Rod: "Talk about dull, Hasbro."
This is exactly why I didn't even bother voting. Once I discovered what Hasbro was pulling on us, I lost all interest.
You had a world of opportunity with this one, Hasbro, but you pissed it away pulling the same old worn out b.s. you've been pulling on us for years now. You screwed us on the over-hyped Titan Devastator and now with the this "Fan Built" character which was never any real choice of the fans to begin with. Overloading a toy line with nothing but repaints and interspersed with recycles from previous lines and then hyping it up to be the coolest new thing in years is just a sure fire way to get folks mad enough to not buy any of the stuff.
Stupid move Hasbro. Really, really stupid.
