Here's something new. It seems like Amazon wanted another exclusive set of Transformers, and Hasbro responded with the return of Crash Combiners. If you remember RID 2015 Combiner Force, you remember these fun figures, the definition of a fidget toy. There's not much articulation, it's all gimmick, and the gimmick is fun!

Crash Combiners were certainly fun for what they were, but does anyone else think this feels like Hasbro responding to Amazon's demand for another exclusive by giving them the finger over how they've mishandled some more sought-after TF exclusives in the past?

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but it just feels odd.

I kinda figured that the evergreen sets Amazon sells, do well enough that they wanted another one.
