I guess I technically buy add-ons, in that I buy Toyhax stickers and (mostly my own) Shapeways accessories, but most of the stuff y'all are talking about holds no appeal for me. I grew up on Micromasters, I'm immune to hollow parts.
It's very possible. I vaguely remember hearing that licensor demands were the reason for some of the oddities with Alt/BT Tracks's history of decoes, and while Hasbro seems to have a bit more pull with the movies than they did then, they're still subject to odd demands like "Dino."
Yeah, but there's some variety to the altmodes, and while Shadewing only mentioned colors I feel like it being significant that they're all cars was implied.
That said, Optimus, Ironhide, Inferno, and Firestar are all in various spots along the "truck" spectrum.
I feel like if anything the problem is they put too much effort into the packaging. The phoned-in approach would have been to bundle the guns in a little rolled-up piece of paper like they do with a lot of small mainline accessories these days.
I free-associated from this and now I'm going to have to go through G1 to figure out the greatest number of similarly-colored guys with similar altmodes who ever all appeared prominently in the same episode (not counting the Constructicons, I guess). Off the top of my head the highest I can...
I've been meaning to do this since I got Earthrise Sunstreaker, but only finally got around to it last night. The heads popped on and off easily, but the hands were a pain. But anyway now I have two "new" Transformers for "free."
Reminds me of when people were wanting Overlord retooled into a Leader class Flywheels.
edit: Jesus christing hug we only just heard this existed and it's already sold out.
