Oh, I'm right there with you. This is straight-up garbage (just remember, all that paint was sacrificed for all of those easy-change pieces of $hit)

I am still not over that heavy retooling spent on those 3 step changers.

Yup, just remember that every time you wonder where all the 's are
It may be a little vicious (yet, probably true), but between these easy-things, and the existence of a superior simple series, I just think the rid'15 easy-things have 'corporate suit decision' scribbled all over them

Sideswipe also has different text and the black in his vehicle mode is replaced with red on Takara's version. Sideswipe's wheels are also different. Drift has red paint on his vehicle mode doors, plus his goatee is painted.
Yeah, TT's Drift is staggeringly better on all accounts (especially his face)

Doubtful, apparently some of the 'clash' sideswipes' shoulders hold

The shoulders seem the same on Takara's version. Haven't opened my Clash of the Transformers Sideswipe yet. Will update you guys when I do his gallery in the next week hopefully.

I think the most noticeable feature of TT's sidswipe are the blue tron rims, they just add so much to the figure for some reason.

I love how Takara did that on a few of them and I would have loved if they did it on Jazz. The metallic blue in the wheels on TAV 21 Prime is really awesome.

Yeah, it would have really fleshed him out as a figure more, or really, colored rims on all of them, either the tron circle, or silver rims. I don't care that it may not be show accurate, but, really, I hold that as a fault of the show, rather than the figures.

It's okay, I'm kinda the same way right now about UW Devy.
Anyways I think it would be cool if Takara made a Megatronus in the same class as that giant Optimus Prime they made.

no knees?
no poseablity?
no accuracy to scale or show?
weaponry is a joke.
did the makers just say "who gives a crud? kids don't notice anyway."

That's basically it, some corporate guy thought that to counter 'overly complex' transformations, was to remove them altogether

That would explain why we've got so many toys of characters I dislike immensely. I'm looking at you 'Bee.

It wouldn't be half as bad, if they would just scrap that easy-junk line
But, imagine, we're getting to a point where we can say 'when I was your age, we only had one bumblebee figure, and that had a waverunner!'

I like Bumblebee, but he's overrated. Personally I think characters like Blurr should get more love.

Hopefully he does come out as a warrior. And I do believe some characters need more time in the spotlight. There are other kid-appeal characters out there (looking at you hot shot, cheetor and Smokescreen)

We older fans and collectors seem to find these figures unappealing due to what they are, and that's understandable considering they carry the name Transformers, but don't actually do what the name implies. Kids, on the other hand, sometimes just want an Optimus Prime figure who can stand there and look cool while beating up his sister's Ken doll and what better way to do that than with an Optimus Prime figure that's all ready to go into battle?
Some fans and kids want a figure that's nice and easy to Transform, a desk toy that's just enough of a time killer to get through our monotonous days and Hasbro has finally come to the rescue! Titan Changers! Easy enough for kids to learn and master, while being quick and easy, not to mention affordable, for those of us who want to tinker and play, but don't really have the time or opportunity.
Which leads us to our newest Seibertron.com galleries!
Robots In Disguise Titan Changers Bumblebee and Optimus Prime!

I had a chance to ask one such half-ling what they thought of the RID line and they said they wished TF Prime was still around instead.
They may have meant the design or the show. Hasbro's current endeavours are from overwhelming feedback that the toys had gotten far too complex in the movie era. They are curently trying to find their footing I guess.

Yeah, he did a great job. Way better than what I would have done. I would have referred to these as the Action Master Elites of our era which would have gone over many heads.
