Non-transforming Transformers

[Jinto]

How do you all feel about non-transforming figures? Revoltech, Action Master, Robot Replicas, etc.

I keep my figures in robot mode 95% of the time when they're not stored away. Despite that, I can never really feel the same about figures that don't physically transform. Even though they usually look way more screen/comic accurate than converting figures, my brain just says "Nope, not a transformer. No dopamine for you!"

Funnily enough, I do still like them 'that way' when it's a broken figure I've had to glue together that can no longer convert. My brain is weird sometimes.

[Smint]

I used to feel that way but I dont mind them so long as its not in vehicle mode lol.

It should also be aesthetically perfect and or super posable, which 90% of the time they cant do if it can also transform. Otherwise why bother?

If the figures have good articulation and good poseabilityI'm alright with them, unfortunately the latest non-transforming figures don't have good articulation, or much poseability at all

[Dinkydarth]

what about ones in vehicle form only? display TFs in both modes?

[tinyJazz]

I love em. Robot mode ones of course. If they have good articulation, good show accuracy, or are just plain cute - like those mini figures and vinyls. It's hard not to collect a set of Autobots.

what about ones in vehicle form only?

I forgot about those. They're the worst. RPMs and stealth force are pretty pointless.

Depends, most of them are pointless but there are a few I will allow.

Meh. Not my thing. I'm an engineering nerd so I get my kicks from how it gets from one more to another.

I will however be very tempted by that ultimetal Ultra Magnus if it ever sees the light of day, at a price that won't make me destitute.

The only non-transformable figures I like are the Robot Replicas, which have good articulation and no extra vehicle parts (Weaponizer Bumblebee, I'm looking at you)

[Golden Phoenix]

I don't really like the vehicle only ones. They don't really do anything for me.

The Robot only ones are alright though. I have some of the Revoltechs and love messing around with them.

I can kinda get past the whole 'non-transforming Transformer' thing because I just like robots.

[UltraMarginal]

I liked the G1 revoltech, I wish they had finer detents in their ratchets and that they had done more, largely because I really liked that visual style.

I personally don't get art vinyl.

I loved Robot Heroes, wish there were more.
I have some of the Japanese scf figures that are larger to go with the robot heroes.
I liked Titanium but not super fussed.

If I had the budget and space Id have ultimetal prime and megs, but I don't have either.

I prefer toys that transform generally, the others are more whimsical purchases.
