Well, to be fair, that's part of why I'm sticking with these guys:
I don't like Hasbro's Motormaster, in part
because of the lack of trailer, and I also don't like how the gestalt looks.
(I'm normally all about Hasbro over third parties if Hasbro came first, but if the third party came first and Hasbro's doesn't seem an improvement over it to me, I am content to stick with what I've got.)
That being said, I do like Combiner Wars overall, and don't hate the existence of the new guys. Especially if the old guys are still an option... thanks, Takara! But, as much as I'd rather not have Alpha Bravo, if Slingshot had never been an option, I suppose I'd have gotten used to him.
So, no Combiner Wars Menasor for me. Or Devastator for that matter. And I suspect I shall also remain content with the Bruticus I have. But I
so look forward to any others! Can't wait until June, when I shall likely be starting to get them, judging by the dates on my pre-orders.
(I do have a few of the Legends, though. Bombshell and Powerglide are awesome! And while I may not be interested in any of the other Stunticons, Blackjack is cool as a stand alone figure!)
So yeah, it may not always have as much fidelity to G1 as I may like for my "Classics" style collection, but overall Combiner Wars is a kick-arse toy line with awesome toys, and I don't get the hate that some seem to have for it just because it isn't exactly 100% what they would have done. Hey, we're getting official Scramble City style combiners again! Who'd have thought we'd ever see the day? Revel in it, my friends!
