Yeah, it's very blurred . I should take another one (alnog with Ramjet and Thrust, maybe?).

unneccessarily complex transformations started with Beast Wars... it's not solely the fault of the Bayformers era

Yes, BW and Classics also have had unnecessarily complex transformations, but at least the alt pieces really blended with the robot or at least were totally separated as kibble, therefore not being a lie like Killer Prime's windows, that fake to be part of him when they notoriously aren't. Poor Jazz, he was one of the few Transformers among all those Bayformers. Luckily technology limitations caused the toys based on Bayformers to be Transformers, though they are "fixing" it for the ROTF toys

have you seen the tfc toys "hercules".check it out on youtube.i wont say too much but its their take on g1 "devastator" and this thing is HUGE.it makes the actual g1 hasbro / takara constructicons / devastator look like a mini-autobot in size comparison.i have it on the way to me

[DAMartin]

I have seen pics in Foros Transformers Hispanos, but I don't tend to buy more than one figure per character (though there are exceptions), and besides, I think that if I tried to get new versions of transformers to fit in size, I'd buy smaller versions of the bigger figures (quite possible with Cyberverse) due to prices, space and the possibility of hiding in vehicle mode among Hot Wheels. That doesn't mean ether that I'm against big Transformers, my Bruticus is an oversized KO.

once you buy 1 third party company tf you will be hooked.i have several "fans project" items / figures and the "tfc toys hercules" [g1 devastator] which arrived today and i must say they are better designed / engineered than the genuine tf product

This oversized KO may be Gears or Swerve, and since I need Gears and don't want Swerve, therefore he's Gears.

NEW VILLAIN ACQUIRED!
A knockoff based on the Mirage Classics mold with a Decepticon insignia. The Mirage Classics mold as a Decepticon is Fracture, and Fracture is the Gobotronian Crasher, so I got Crasher!
