Kurona wrote:So how is everyone else justifying value for these sets in their heads?
The way I see it; the clones and Titan Masters are consistently good but they're not enough to justify the price at all - they're nice little bonuses but make up 15% of the price at best. Therefore for me, at the very least either the Leader has to be appealing or both the Deluxe and Voyager have to be appealing to justify the price at all. This is kind of why the Velocitron set falls short for me; Quickswitch is not appealing in the slightest and he makes up half of the boxset's price. And then Nautica is such a bad representation of a great character all that leaves is Laser Prime with a couple cute bonus figures, which isn't worth the asking price.
Meanwhile, the Cybertron set looks incredible - Magnus Prime is an immediate win and while Tidal Wave looks pretty lame, Metalhawk's an awesome representation of the character based on an equally awesome mold. With the Voyager the only kinda stinker in the set - and even then it's an alright mold I could have fun transforming occasionally - this is one I'd be very happy to pick up at RRP.
I still feel this is a frustrating situation - there's bound to be at least one figure in here one won't find themselves enjoying; at least with the CW boxsets the full combiner was what mattered the most so even if there were one or two or even all figures you didn't like in the set, it'd be fine because you'd have that combined mode. Not having that for these boxsets - and the fact they have no unifying theme - makes them extremely tricky to justify buying.

I think squeezeplay is out as there is no suitable mould (unless they make a new one) but It did cross my mind with some clever design perhaps Repugnus and Squeezeplay could share a mould family with minimal remoulded parts ?
Fangry is clearly simple enough to make out of Twinferno and some have suggested they see Horribull in Skullsmasher.
One feature i'd like is to see all of them get ANGRY Faces or what ever is appropriate contrast to their existing ones and they would make such a great set up as they'd be able to wield their previous accessories as weapons which would look rather cool and make them pretty neat in their own way too.
I'd put this idea on the "to do later" list along with the beast Combiners plenty of people still want.

I guess I'm kinda thankful for Nautica being like this actually. She's so bad and inaccurate I don't feel obligated to drop 100 for her

I'm pretty sure it was Misfire that was Wave 5 and Slugslinger was Wave 6. Could be the other way round, can't remember off the top of my head.
Haven't seen anyone complaining; I'm just more confused since every other figure in the entire line has at least had a bare-minimum-effort in TM compatibility. Just a bit odd-one-out and it's confusing why that's the case.

Now, would someone who has the set please demonstrate what that looks like in practice? 'Cause I actually think it might improve Fastclash's vehicle mode look as well, filling in that giant gap there and making him look more solid. I'm very curious!

And like you, the Cybertron set looks killer. Agreed that Tidalwave is kinda lackluster, but he's passable. Pounce I feel has a better asthetic than Fastcrash, and Metalhawk looks ace using the Triggerhappy mold. Magnus Prime.....GIMMIE!

If this is the case I'll be severely disappointed as I missed out on Wolfy the first time around and was really hoping to get him now. I just completed my OG Autobot Headmasters and he's the last one I need to complete the OG Cons. (Ironically, Wolfwire is the one I wanted most out of the first couple waves 'cause he's just a wittle pupper shnuppers, yes he is, yes he is!)
