Swapticons (new gimmick line)

[Donocropolis]

I wish I could understand how people are getting past those heads. It's frustrating because I like everything else about these. I still see the potential. There's things I would want out of this line. But then it's just ruined.

The heads are definitely the weakest part, but I guess they don't bother me too much as the "robot modes" are pretty secondary to how I would use these. If and when I buy some, they're pretty much going to be in various combined beast, vehicle, or beast-hicle mode 90% of the time, so the poor heads won't be much of an issue.

The head designs look they intentionally made them as obnoxious as possible. It's the Gen Alpha version of the extreme 90s grossout aesthetic that gave us Beast Machines' look.

Obnoxious is the word. The recent face switching Mighty Muggs had a similar vibe. (Although that had some decent ones.)

It's an odd graffiti stylizing ish look that doesn't quite hit and instead lands somewhere in weird Dreamworks face territory.

The new molds look like they're trying to make more like Scorponok, where they sort of have individual altmodes. Like, not only does it look like an entire Snarl has his head rammed up the cloaca of an entire Grimlock, Slipstream has her own wings which make her look like a plausible jet on her own.

Nice! If I do only get a few of these, Terrorsaur/Lazorbeak and Scorponol/Double punch will be good ones for mixing and matching with Grimlock/Snarl.
