forget about raping your childhood, this is raping your wallet. or are we suddenly in a situation where the technology that was available 25 years ago has been forgotten? hasbro can go shovel!

Maybe...but another thing to consider: ILM has likely just recently put the finishing touches on the digital models. They may not have gotten all the robot modes for these bots in time to have them come out with the initiall wave of figures- especially with one this potentially complex. Remember it takes 12-14 months PER FIGURE...granted they are all being worked on at the same time, but still I'd figure you have to throw in additional time for the combination mechanics. Give them time and wait for details...and THEN yell at them...

The G1 combiners were freaking hideous!
why would they want to recreate those?

Ok, to answer your new question: the problem with what you suggest is that essentially we're back to the problem of creating a really good triple changer. It's got to have (in this case) a realistic alt mode, a well-articulated robot mode AND be functional as part of a combined well-articulated robot. That ain't easy.
