Gimmicks, gimmicks, gimmicks! Lately Transformers toys have been all about gimmicks. And by "lately" I mean in the last fifteen or so years. Be it Headmasters, Targetmasters, Powermasters, Breast Force, Pretenders, Laser Rods, Actionmasters, Transmetals, Powerdashers, Micromasters, or Mini-Cons, it seems that giant robots engaged in a civil war spanning millions of years, hundreds of episodes, and a metric ton of comic books just isn´t cool enough for kids these days. Energon too will feature a gimmick? Will it be another "Gotta Catch ´em All" gimmick like the mini-cons? No. This time each side will have their own gimmick. The Autobots will resurrect the fan-favorite gimmick of combining. The Decepticons´ gimmick will harken back to the days of Astrotrain and Blitzwing and utilize Triple-Changing to its n-th degree. This should make for an interesting series, and a fun overall toyline!
