Plus you can likely store them in vehicle mode as is depicted with Hot Spot here.

I certainly wouldn't liken them to "meat cleavers" either. While not a katana, they are still a fairly sleek sword; not at all the clumsy looking blades that CW Grand Scourge or the CH Arcee have.

Yeah he had a gun and people I know would give him a sword from some other toy cos it became much more iconic due to his Marvel Comic appearances.
Anyways, not feeling this at all. I much prefer my Headrobots-upgraded RotF Bludgeon. He's pretty much my fave Decepticon toy ever (though a new version of the same general idea but with improved articulation and streamlined a bit would be nice).

Yeah, I felt the same way about my banzaitron that I searched high and low for (only ever saw the one I got), that is, until his thumbs snapped off
I will never despise piss-poor engineering more so than that day, although, Menasors torso is now tied for the amount of disappointment I felt on that fateful day.

The thought of the so predictable Bludgon skull head as the combiner is gonna be such a joke. I have no intention to display them in combined mode. The limb bots fill gaps in my G1 classics collection that I need filled.

And I would love Impactor by himself. He'd be cool

Indeed. As an aside, I still can't believe that, what with the multiple VERY samurai-esque Drifts that have been made, no one thought of the most obvious redeco idea possible. Practically slow-pitched and no one official picked it up.

Still, I think they could've sprung for a drill and harpoon attachment...

Too many weapons. I know that much more senior fans love weapons, but if I can't store it all in Alt- and bot-mode, there is too much. And I see that it CAN store in all those modes, but it is still a bit much.

okay so here's my problem. Impactor is supposed to have a murder arm, where a weapon replaces the hand. The problem with combiner wars rook is that the weapon ports are on his wrist, so the figure, clearly has two hands. Having those two hands ruins Impactor's look in my opinion. Arcee's swords don't resemble impactor's melee lozenge. Another important aspect is the rectangular barrel for his gun mounted on his shoulder, more accurately for human anatomy mounted on the Scapula/Clavicle bones. Neither the handfootgun, nor arcee's guns resemble impactor's rectangular shoulder mounted gun, and are instead connected to the upper arm or more accurately Humerus. The more they show and add to impactor, the less I feel the Combiner Wars rook mold was suited for it.

I'm not saying i've seen every thing the club has done, or played with every figure. But I do think it's a pretty amazing planet we live on, and a man would have to be some kinda fool to think I hate everything the club has done. Just most things.

The weapon ports are in his fists though not his wrists. And sure it's not perfect but there's not much you can do with very limited remolding and paint.

One can just be swapped out for weapons.
And now with this toy, both of them can.

Even though it won't sway your opinion, I feel it necessary to point out that his weapon arm is apparently painted completely purple, whereas the other arm's hand is orange. So there is an illusion that the other hand is gone.

No, on this toy, he can have both fists and both weapons at the same time

I see your points. I'm sure we'd all like Impactor to get a dedicated mold in an ideal situation.
Plus, you made a Big Trouble in Little China reference. I can't argue with that.
