Speaking of lazy - they can't even be bothered to apply all the stickers in the factory and expect us to do most of them ourselves! If I'm going to be shelling out over fifteen dollars for a toy, I expect so much more. And do they really think we're so blind that we can't tell that the so-called 'Ratchet' and 'Prowl' toys are just Ironhide and Bluestreak with extra lights stuck on their roofs?
Also, 'Laserbeak'/'Frenzy' is going to be warming pegs for the next twenty-five years! I laugh out loud at that! Why would anyone want a blue Rumble and red Buzzsaw when they can just buy the normal ones that come with Ravage and Soundwave? And when it comes to these 'recolours', sometimes Hasbro Bradley doesn't even bother to rename the toy! Have you noticed that they've released 'Bumblebee' in red and 'Cliffjumper' in yellow on their normal cardbacks and just hope we're stupid enough to buy both? I don't think so, Hasbro Bradley!
With this level of laziness, there's no way this toyline is going to last into 1985.
hi guys, i hope I'm not the only one who feels this way, I love my Transformers but I'm starting to get a little tired of the toy company's just rehashing old moulds and just putting a different name on the toy because they can't be bothered getting of their butts and paying someone to make new ones. it seems that the toy designers have run out of ideas and have decided we can't be bothered anymore, lets use this mould change the colours give him a different name and nobody will notice.
