Dang it, Hasbro, I wanted to get just the ones I thought looked good! Why must you tempt my completionist instincts so?!
...oh wait, massive corporation who wants my money. Right.
I recognise a lot of these designs, even if somewhat changed or simplified, and hope the ones I don't end up showing up in later figures. Particularly that large, boxy cannon on the bottom left.
I will say this again, though: the concept art is still more cohesive and apparent with the Energon theme than the finished result. They didn't even need to all be translucent blue; just make the crystalline parts more obvious, like Core Hot Rod's sword.

Gimmicks sell well with kids though, look at the UT stuff
Also this isn't really that bad of a gimmick? More weapons pretty much is just an extension of the C.O.M.B.A.T. system from WFC with an Energon flavor
JazZeke wrote:Yeah, aside from Blitzing's silly gloves, the gimmick isn't an intrusive one. It may dip into the plastic budget, but aside from that the toys don't have to be engineered around them like Mini-Cons or combining does.
Seconded. It's not an intrinsic part of the toy, just an additional accessory you can choose to leave aside or even sell without changing the look of the toy. How's that in any way intrusive?

Me, maybe? I'm not that bummed off by it, though; there's other versions of Minerva that aren't Headmasters (like the new Wrecker IDW one, or even the animated Transtector from the end of
Masterforce itself), so I can just pretend it's one of those and wait for an actual Minerva Headmaster.

YES!!!...Skyquake, however, I'm cautious about. The latter
Prime characters in
Legacy didn't quite look right for me.
