Dino and Jolt, yes please. I’m really hoping Bee is a do-over of his VW design, the only thing I like about the current VW Deluxe is the fact I can give his blade to the blatantly superior Jeep Bee.
Yup. Literal mini-masterpieces. No Combining, no headmastering, no Trypophobia inducting ports everywhere. Budget Masterpieces, like the SS line is supposed to be.
Also, I have to laugh at your saying the SS line is supposed to be mini-masterpieces. I mean sure, there's some figures that live up to that, but...
The problem with non-combiners being combiners and non-headmasters being headmasters is that they are not supposed to be. It doesn't really work for the characters. Plus the gimmick compromise the vehicle and the bot mode in some capacity.
Ironically, Legends Great Shot is superior to the TR Sixshot and the G1 Great Shot original BECAUSE he's a headmaster. In canon, he is so his headmaster gimmick make him perfect.
Also, same thing with too much 5mm ports. Some design compromises are done in the look to accommodate the holes. and too much holes make the figure look ugly.
As for the Bayformers SS figures, they ARE mostly mini-masterpieces. Especially compared to the old movie lines. There's some that are not perfect, sure. But most are pretty damn solid and accurate in their overall look.
