I like Burn's version better, even if it's less accurate.
Interesting to see that these Clash 3-Steps are actually unique toolings. I sincerely hope someone appreciates this.

Yes me too. I dont know who would though since the fans dont care about these (havent met one who did yet), and I dont think parents or kids would notice anything beyond the color changes. It almost feels like a waste in a way. I wonder if the warrior figures are also as extensive in retooling as these.

I'm not very familiar with the quick changers, but prime reminds me of another one I've seen. Does he share a transformation/shell with anyone? I'd find it hard to believe a unique mold would be limited to a 6 pack and a single retailer.chuckdawg1999 wrote:I'd be all over that one-step RID Prime, if it wasn't part of a set of figures I already have.

What scares me is they said in a recent interview that they had shown all the RID toys we will be getting this year and that makes very little sense to me. The only warrior class figures left to be in stores are the 2 repaints Bumblebee and Grimlock. 2 figures for the rest of the year?

Yup! However, I keep being fascinated at the fact that the tooling is still different even if it is actually the same design. Hasbro could have retooled the Hyperchange 3-step and then upscaled it, but instead there are 3 different shells, two different classes and two different designs.

By that logic, same goes for every toy that ever existed in the days before action figures were invented.Hellscream9999 wrote:And none of them are worth...being called a 'toy'

Well, that's unfortunate, the only characters that I actually liked were mostly decepticon (worlds will burn if I don't get a satisfactorily poseable deluxe thunderhoof) but it also seems strange that they said the decepticons were going to be made, but now they say this is the rest for the year

So were the majority of G1 toys and kids were plenty satisfied with them back then.Hellscream9999 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:By that logic, same goes for every toy that ever existed in the days before action figures were invented.Hellscream9999 wrote:And none of them are worth...being called a 'toy'
Except that all those other toys are satisfactory, these are immobile hunks of plastic that kids can wave around and then get bored of.

I love the new simplified line that is being found in countries outside of the U.S. These are both examples of 'simplified' transformers done correctly, the above is just, not.

we have to take into account what a child can actually do as far as their ability to transform a product. One of the challenges we had with Transformers over the last five years, six years is the product line was getting more and more challenging. We had one product line for everybody and the feedback we were getting back from parents and kids is that it was too difficult.
What we want to make sure is that some of the older boys that like more articulation and complex transformations and detail...that we had a SKU that represented that and the Warriors does that. What we want to do is continue to roll out more characters, both Autobots and Decepticons will be in that line.

But how do you know that? You werent at the focus group session. Maybe Parents preffered the durability of these toys. My point here, especially with the aisle theory, is that you and many others are blinded and see this product as a simplified transformer when in reality, that is not what it is. This is more akin to that phone on wheels I pointed to earlier. It's a little kids toy that happens to be branded under the transformers brand. It's a new product marketed for young kids and it does its own thing. Just like construct bots and hero mashers. These are not part of the Robots in dsiguise traditional TF toyline and that same interview says it as such. It states that the only part of this toyline that should be seen as traditional TFs is the warrior class. Anything else will not have articulation, detail or complexity.
Here are the quotes from Hasbro:we have to take into account what a child can actually do as far as their ability to transform a product. One of the challenges we had with Transformers over the last five years, six years is the product line was getting more and more challenging. We had one product line for everybody and the feedback we were getting back from parents and kids is that it was too difficult.What we want to make sure is that some of the older boys that like more articulation and complex transformations and detail...that we had a SKU that represented that and the Warriors does that.

So you who liked the simpler TFS of our youth would still end up with the warrior class. The other toys are transformers in brand only.
