So that is actually Optimus that turns into a gun for...who?
To me, the point is these are rather unimaginative gimmicks. I don't mind the idea behind them but I thought they way they were released was cheap. My AM Ironhides gun broke when input him together. I wasn't too happy. I love little target master guys but I think the point is that this was a misstep. But the missteps from Takara are kinda ignored because they are "the good company" whereas Hasbro is "the bad company".
It just seems like many of us blame Hasbro for everything wrong and Takara for everything right and that just isn't so. It's hard to enjoy the fandom sometimes when so many people seem to feel the need to crap on it because of the company that released it.
I'll freely admit that most of the time Takara has a superior product But they seem geared towards collectors and fans, and Hasbro isn't.
The argument is like, "I like fruit and oranges. But look at that bannana! Why arent you an orange you bannana!"
I have been into transformers since 1984.
While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters.
I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most part
I'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs.
It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise.
TFCon List: Classics Skywarp, General Optimus, BW Airrazor, Transmetal Tarantulus, Alternity Prime, Fire Convoy
