Recently someone was complaining becuase the reissue of G1 Optimus Primes hands detach and said “ugh partsforming...pass” have you never seen a G1 toy?

Emerje wrote:Adding weapons isn't partsforming. The only 1984 partsformers are Ironhide/Ratchet (alt mode), Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker, Wheeljack (wings debatably), 3 Seeker Jets, Megatron (alt mode), and Optimus Prime. It's less than half if you exclude the Mini-Cars, mailaways, and Kronoforms.Randomhero wrote:The only 1984 partsformers are Ironhide/Ratchet (alt mode), Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker, Wheeljack (wings debatably), 3 Seeker Jets, Megatron (alt mode), and Optimus Prime.

It is the other way around, you have to remove and store the fists to go from bot to truck.

I know that, but i didnt think that equated to partsforming.

Think about it, we had 4 waves of Studio Series last year and only 2 leaders. And we only had 4 leaders in POTP, so 3 is in the middle.

Compared to Combiner Wars and Titans Return, it seems a bit low, but in the Prime Wars Trilogy, that Class in particular relied on co-tools (redecos, retools and the like) for padding out the assortments. Plus, like PotP with its 4 Leaders, Siege is only 1 year.

Thats why I didnt compare to other lines, it would not be a fair comparison. We should instead look at how many leaders come out per year in a line.
