Is Hasbro really that smart?

Sarcasm = saying something positive while actually meaning the opposite, usually mocking.

TakaraTomy has no problem with that though, look at the Targetmaster Microns

Actually I really just loathe the drones and the "combining" gimmick. The Commander figures are pretty damn awesome, and then there's the minicons (some are hit and miss, but that's usual for minicons).
The concept of the drones is all well and good, but unfortunately when it comes to combining, something got lost somewhere.
Burn wrote:No, it was more the mechanics of them. Some of them just wouldn't lock into position and I ended up having to do a lot of fiddling to get them to lock into place, and even then you often had to display them against a wall to stop them from falling over.
I could live without the robot modes, but the mechanics really let them down.

(Except for the Energon Combiners)

In general the look of the PCC's is unappealing to me but as my sister put it, "who doesn't like dinosaurs?" And with the Black Friday deals it was cheap enough to warrant picking up (and losing it to my parents clutches shortly after getting home).
If it turns out to be crummy as a combined entity, well, at least I have a bunch of little mini robot dinos. lol. TFA Grimmy will have some friends to boss around.
