- Motto: "The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance."
Gimmicks are a hit-and-miss most of the time, it depends on the type of gimmick, really.
For line-specific Gimmicks, the Auto-Morph and Mech Alive gimmicks from the first two movie lines I really like because they added life and personality to the toys, if properly executed. Titan Masters I like too because of the pilot thing, having something human-scaled to interact with, because Transformers do work with humans and similarly-sized characters, right? Prime Masters with their Decoy Suits... Why is Waverider left out for Amalgamous? For that matter, Nexus, Prima and maybe Onyx, all should be re-released with their proper Pretender Shells!
I know, beating a dead horse...
Electronics... eh, hardly use them, if anything they get annoying quick (an on/off switch wouldn't be a luxury here). What else... anything spring-loaded is fine I guess, punching is a not really...
Simply put, if a gimmick negatively affects a figure in transformation, articulation (especially if it's only on one side) and/or looks, don't expect me to like and use it.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one
