This is how I feel too about the general downward shift in complexity starting with Dark of the Moon. I like being able to play with my figures several at a time, converting large groups from one mode to the other, rather than struggling with one or two figures for 10 to 20 minutes each, trying desperately to remember some little step or trick to get something to align correctly (I don't like having to use the instructions. It takes away from the "challenge" of the puzzle.) I do still appreciate harder transformation schemes, though, but I get that through Masterpiece figures instead of the mass retail stuff in the Generations line.

For me, Titan Return does the job just right. Not too simple to be stupid, but not too hard to remove all the fun. They are JUST RIGHT.

I threw out a lot of my transformers at my local geek store to buy some sweet G1. Most of those that I got rid of were either because I was bored with them or I found them just NOT fun. I got rid of a few ROTF figures and ALL of my Alternity. I want to have FUN with my figures.

Transforming G1 figures is so simple, but oh so FUN and SATISFYING. I really LOVE the feel of the original Headmasters. So much that this Friday, I'm getting myself G1 Mindwipe and Hardhead. Then I'll display them among their TR updates like the rest of them:

I do have the real one (among 98% of the whole collection) and Action Masters are awesome.

I don't know him but if he does transform, he's not.

Hero Mashers Transformers Edition are kinda Action Masters 2.0.
Only the M.A.S.K style vehicles are missing for them.

With these Trypticon reports it makes me a bit gun shy to take him out AND get a Trypticon(even though some say theirs is fine at the hip joints). Maybe if I delay the fix will be on some later production runs.
