Seriously haven't toys and Transformers been able to do this for ages? all Hasbro have does for the movie line is give it a name! I mean the figures in my sig have 'Automorphing" capabilities for christsake!

I mean, for crying out loud, it was standard issue on Beast Wars-era Basics, you pulled or pushed a tail or head and the figure transformed, nothing new.
Next thing you know Hasbro will be creating Transformers that automatically transform as you move them across a surface and call them, I don't know, 'Battlechargers' sounds nice. Or maybe 'Throttlebots'... No, I've got it, 'Jumpstarters'!
Wait, they've already done THAT too.
(I apologize for any broken Sarcasm Meters....)

So what's new about Automorphing is some figures will have it occurring in more than one place? Still sounds like an old gimmick dressed up as something new to me, just like planet keys being the new mini-cons.

I'm thinking that with Hasbro's lax QC we're going to be seeing a lot of griping on these boards come summer. Especially if springs are involved. Remember all the troubles had with Nitro Convoy?

Except Hasbro didn't design Nitro Convoy. Takara did.

Jam of snap the internal mechanism and the toys going to be harder to play with. I hope its done really well.
