Also I do see there are some technical differences with the current RotF Voyager, and this new Movie 1 Prime, but they really didn't change in between films. I never thought I'd say this, but this is one time it should have been a straight up repaint, but it wasn't ...how very odd. But Still I'm glad. This is one I was hoping would happen. The other, being Devstator...I know is going to be more complicated, if ever done

Frickin' love his proportions and posability more than any other Prime. And this new one is even better. The new chest looks great (and yay for blue doors on there this time) and I like how the wheel parts on the upper legs are much more streamlined now too. Also can use the swords from the first one with this one too. And I like how the new backpack isn't so square too. And of course I'll add paint to the new one and buy another set of Toyhax Studio Prime stickers to add the flames.

I fail to understand how PotP Grimlock "suffers" from the combiner gimmick

Skritz wrote:You know, they should have tried to make the new Movie Jetfire like a Siege Weaponizer meant to interact with a new Voyager Optimus Prime, or at least with a retool with 5mm ports all over. Yes it would mean 'sacrificing' some elements for either figure but it is the only way to make that feature work. Also, bonus point, we'd have a movie guy who can interact with a Generations gimmick once again.

Yes! Jetwing prime will be a partsformer combination!

Which reminds me... where's Jolt?
Bucky wrote:Black Hat pretty much hits the nail on the head. In any combiner limb, torso, or triple changer you have to lose something from the other two modes to achieve a third mode. It’s just what happens. Those combiner pegs and ports take up a decent amount of space. And in the specific case of the Dinobots, their G1 designs were never intended to become combiner components. I don’t think they lend themselves very well to the gimmick, as evidenced by what we wound up with.
Edit:
ZeldatheSwordsman - Except that it’s not a forced gimmick for Jetfire and OP. They did combine. Parts from one joined with the other. You could make the argument that maybe not 100% of Jetfire combined with Optimus, but then we’d wind up with a partsformer (which isn’t a bad thing), but one that has left over parts, to do what with? And if they had gone that route, why would not utilizing all of a toy to combine not be forced, but using it all would be? Also this combination isn’t trying to fit into an already established pattern. It isn’t required to conform to how other combiners combine from the same, or previous toy line. So there’s more freedom there, when it comes to the engineering.
And yes, as i stated before, any combiner or triple changer will suffer some from having to incorporate a third mode option. But like the triple changers and original combiners, Jetfire was designed to combine with Optimus. It isn’t a feature or gimmick that was tacked on to a design some thirty years later. So there’s a difference. It’s also not a fools errand, if it works. Only if it fails. Even in the case of the Dinobots combining it wasn’t a failure. The end result just didn’t look good, and was necessary because there wasn’t a pretext for G1 Dinobots to combine. So you can’t even blame it on nostalgia.
