My point exactly. At adult collector prices, it should turn into something that actually works. I never said device label Blaster turned into a working laptop. I just said it actually "works" as in it's not just a toy.
Since video game data can be stored in a microchip the size of your fingernail, making this thing actually work isn't really that far off. Maybe not with OG cartridges, but it definitally has enough space to hold the components needed to connect to a real TV and interface.
Since we can make remote controlled cars the size of a Hot Wheels, why don't all Transformers turn into remote controlled cars?Rated X wrote:Since video game data can be stored in a microchip the size of your fingernail, making this thing actually work isn't really that far off.

That is so true. If it transforms, they will buy it. They don't care if it transforms into a pen, a baseball cap, or mickey mouse. To each their own, but I'm not into any of this stuff. I just put my comment out there because honestly I think making this figure work wouldn't be impossible or too costly. I'm sure the software wouldn't cost more than an Iphone.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.
Sabrblade wrote:At this point, the differing viewpoints on these just boil down to the following:
Naysayers: "What is even the point of these?"
Supporters: "Game console Transformers, duh!"
Naysayers: "But they don't even play games!"
Supporters: "They're not supposed to. They're action figures that turn into replicas just like any other Transformers toy. All altmodes are nonworking/nonliving replicas of the real things they resemble. Outside really special cases, that is."
Naysayers: "But then why aren't these part of those special cases?"
Supporters: "A number of reasons. Too expensive to pull off, game licensing politics, budget limitations, not profitable enough to do all that, etc."
Naysayers: "But then they won't appeal to a mainstream audience as much as they would if they could play games!"
Supporters: "They're not supposed to appeal to everyone. These are geared toward a niche market."
Naysayers: "But then they won't be as successful as they would on a mainstream level."
Supporters: "The fact that there are even people who ARE interested in these and DO want them shows that there is enough demand for them to satisfy the market that they're intended for."
Naysayers: "But they could do so much better on a mainstream level."
Supporters: "Theoretically, everything could. There's always room for improvement for all kinds of things. But it's not a matter of whether they could make them better, but if they should. Wisdom vs. knowledge and all that. As we said, there are limitations involved in these kinds of things that they have to take into account and adhere to, otherwise the figures would prove to be more trouble than they're worth."
Naysayers: "Why did they even bother making these?!"
Supporters: "Because it's COOL!"
Naysayers: "That's not a good enough answer!"
Supporters: "Yes it is!"
Naysayers: "No it's not!"
Supporters: "Yes it is!
Naysayers: "No it's not!"

It's fairly simple, some people are happy with this product, some are arguing that takara should of gone the extra mile and made it a working mega drive (never understood why they changed the name in America). Discharge offers the best argument, talking of value, though I have to say that I agree with everyone else.
I don't really care too much that he's not working. I've got two mega drives in my retro collection I don't need another device to do the same trick. I'm glad quirks like the hatformers, shoeformers and the penformers exist. It's a toy line still, and what's a toy line without a bit of nonsense now and again

No, no, I understand the debate. I just think it's stupid. Or at least, more stupid than the other arguments that happen around here.
