I'll love to see how this comes out but I will probably not get this either.

It'd likely going to come down to what my cash availability will be when this hits. I am perfectly happy with CW Defensor. But this is ever so tempting...

I'm speaking from personal experience and preference. I own Intimidator, and while it looks very impressive it's overly complicated, fiddly, and aethetically I really did not like the car shin gaurds (like X). One thing HasTak has done right, was returning FUN to combining TF's.

Has/Tak managed to take a fun concept and make it lukewarm. Most of what they've shown is bland and boring. I don't know, maybe it's a sign of old age or perhaps I'm just spoiled by 3rds. Regardless, the more I see of CW, the less interested I am. Maketoys give us sleek and imaginative figures which I am generally excited about transforming, posing, and displaying. Meanwhile Has/Tak keeps giving us figures which look like chunks of plastic with a "step 1: flip this tab, step 2: unpeg limbs, step 3: enjoy figure" simplicity.

Ahh, but the true engineering and design marvel is within that simplicity.
--each mold has to have a convincing arm and leg mode
--each leg mode MUST be the exact height as all the other figures and their leg modes
--each leg mode MUST be capable of being a load bearing leg
--each arm mode must be relatively close to being the same length as the other figures and their arm length
--each limb must be compatible with the hand/foot piece
I honestly think that since they're able to pull it off, Hasbro is doing a fantastic job.

Are you serious, Mkall? I'm not trying to start anything, but Devastator looks like he has phocomelia and had his head shrunk in the Amazon. I suspect they aren't putting in as much effort as you're giving them credit for . . . especially when 3rds are still having to fix the figures Has/Tak is pushing out.
