I really doubt it was their intention to screw over the articulation of the individual figs. Sacrifices would have to be made

right because you never intend to combine them if you do own them and because kibble has been total taboo from Transformers for 30 years. what are you even expecting?
While a little harshly worded, I totally agree.
*Sigh* I think the individual figures look, honestly, really crappy. The Combined form is great, no arguing that, but honestly, I don't get a sense of awe when looking at it, the arms look a bit to small and the head is, while perfectly G1, very simple. I'm not trying to aggravate the Devastator fanboys out here, but I'd take any of the 3'd Party figures over this guy. At least they all have elbows, even the legends scale one.
and i plan on continuing to support Hasbro/Takara to show my gratitude that after 30 years, we still get G1 characters modernized. spend your $600 on $120 worth of plastic. ill continue to support the people that made my childhood great while you spit in their face saying you'd rather buy 3rd party figures.

He's got a fair point of the individual figures being somewhat lacking. I'm sure lots of collectors display combiners individually; I do, Sometimes I just dismember a combiner and pose my fleet of figures.
So wanting a nice set of individual figures is equally important to some, as a cohesive combined mode is to others. I will not buy this set so long as it is tremendously underpainted, and/or lacks individual elbows. I won't go 3P, I'll just miss out; but I have my rules and Devestator breaks them.

This is just a difference in expectations I suppose. To me THIS....
is NOT a brick. I see good shoulder articulation, I see hips, I see separate legs, maybe even ankle rockers. He can crouch, aim, shoot, He can do a lot with the one exception of bending at the elbow...
Now, THIS...
Is a brick. Legs do nothing but stand. Arms swing forward and back... That's it. Comparing the new version to this just seems... wrong.
My only real complaint is the dull green paint job in vehicle mode. It IS a little boring. It's fairly ACCURATE and I can understand why they did it. But when you look at the rest of the CW figures you see stripes... You see decals... you see varying paint schemes that make the figures a bit more vibrant. I really am hoping for either TT to do something interesting (which I personally doubt as that would back away from G1 and Cartoon appearances) or some reprolables to add little warning signs or construction stickers or SOMETHING that adds a little detail to the vehicles.
But it's a minor complaint

It has the wonderful effect of making people seem ridiculous or unreasonable for not simply and totally loving something that Hasbro releases, or that does not fit their personal interests. You don't like this product for something that really is a legitimate reason? Let me make these kinds of comments and posts against you, to make it seem like you're unreasonable and entitled because you dared to have a contrary opinion.
I like to call it "Independent Thought Shaming."

So independent thoughts are the ones from the hive mind that is transformers fandom other thoughts are somehow not independent because you Dagon declare them to be immoral. Glad you are taking notes from the Church of Scientology.

Nice edit. Almost provided some context there. Almost.

You're right in context there is absolutely no difference and the edit changed literally nothing about your statement. I am glad we could agree that you simply wasting forum space that could be used for actually talking about transformers toys.

To not only get on your level of intellectual discourse, but to also contribute as much to the thread as you have, I will simply ask: I know you are, but what am I?
...actually, that put me quite a few steps ahead of you. Sorry about that.
