Well if nothing else you could use them to do some interesting kitbashes.

Interesting? Can you actually mold feces? I mean, let's face it, that's what we're dealing with here.

And it was mentioned that some figures in G1 didn't have hands, or at the very least, they weren't designed well.

Here's the thing...back when G1 came around, these were new and fresh, we had never seen anything like TFs. So, a lack of hands wasn't out of the norm, because we weren't expecting anything one way or the other.

Now? After years of incredible advancements, designs, transformations, etc... we darn sure expect our figures to have hands at the very least.

Vehicle mode? Terrible, but forgivable, all things considered.
Robot mode? Awful, nowhere near forgivable, all things considered.
Combined mode? Words fail me.

There is no reason these figures shouldn't have hands. I'll admit, these could be mistransformed and the hands aren't visible, but even if they have hands....THEY'RE STILL CRAP!

The Energon Combiners suffer from this. I have to alternate transform mine so they have actual hands and look like a robot. Their designs as is, from the factory..pure crap.

Still, even they have a million times more cool than these two do.
They just suck balls.

A toy can only be mistransformed so much.

The only thing that I like about these guys is how they use Symmetrical Docking. But they don't even do that right.

Why do they remind me of my Transformer twins?

I bet they have fire and ice based abilities too.

The Animated Legends HAVE HANDS. The Legends look quite frankly phenomenal as miniturisations of larger molds that are themselves renditions of designs that don't look like they should be able to transform. These two are really quite poor. Ok, not Armada poor, but not up to the standard that's been set.

Still really hoping they're mistransformed.

Me too, I really like them, exept for the hands... and the combined modes arms.

You know, I actually like the indiviaula vehicle modes, they remind of landspeeders. Cybertonian vehicle modes, whoo!. Not as jets though, but I might get them for the alts. Combiner robot is alright, bot modes are okay too, combiner jet is ugly.

I shall once again be part of a minority. I like this figure. The alt modes look like F-zeros, and I also like combined mode. Mr. Wyatt said they were mistransformed on his deal (I quote "Of course they have hands!") I will add this to the list of buys. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to stand in that corner with the other people who don't care what all the nay sayers say. Good day to you all.

When Mr. Wyatt said it'd have hands... does he mean both the individual modes and the combined mode?

Brings back memories of the enemy of Mazinger. I forgot the name. Half male, half female weirdo.

Turns to the right when the male have to speak, and turns to the left when the female speaks.

Yeah. I think that's the one. :)

I hope these TFA twins won't have to keep on facing the opposite directions to get the opportunity to speak. :lol:
