Here's a small poll, and I'm just doing it here, to see how you guys think some more ambiguous figures from RotF should or shouldn't count. If the results clearly favour one result, then I'll just amend it to existing UCM articles, if not then I'll consider making a new UCM article poll (which will be conducted across multiple boards as usual).
So this is more like a preliminary poll to see if there's a need for another UCM poll.
'kay anyway - I would count Constructicon Devastator as 1 toy and the Arcee bikes separately.
My reasoning for counting Constructicon Devastator as 1 toy is that the individual component Constructicons are not meaningful Transformer action figures on their own because they do not have a robot mode. It looks like Hasbro won't be selling them individually - and if they did, who would buy just one? The toys need each other to function as a meaningful Transformer toy.
Thus conversely my reasoning for counting the Arcee Bikes separately is that they can operate as meaningful Transformer action figures on their own. It looks like Hasbro will sell them separately and I'm certain that people would be willing to purchase them on their own.
Now if anyone is thinking that the Arcee bikes should all count as 1, consider this; would you only consider them as 1 after you have collected all 3? Or at least 2/3? Or would it count as soon as you get just 1?
Discuss! :)
And remember, participation in this poll is voluntary.
