Has Combiner Wars Jumped The Shark? The Early Decline Of A Fan-Favorite Line

[ExVee]

It was just over a year ago that we were introduced to Combiner Wars, with Superion and Menasor leading the way. As we move towards the final product wave for 2015 and look at the first half of 2016, trends are clearly presenting themselves, and interesting and promising design philosophies may not look the same as they once did. With another year ahead of it, is Combiner Wars already in a state of decline? Keep reading to hear our thoughts. Read the Full News Story Here

So Far I don't feel any negativity towards Combiner Wars, The mold reuse for me isn't a problem and I really dislike plain repaints but they are mostly retools. There are some molds I don't like but I get these characters for their combined form and all work good for arms and legs. I like the fact they have set up a lot of older characters so people can have access to let say "Mirage" whose other iterations have been out of circulation for years, also Hasbro saves a lot of money that they can use for future projects for lets say Fort Max!? I just don't see a lot wrong with this line

 

Things I would Improve:

I don't like the slingshot head on blastoff.

Computron's head needs a mouth and different chest parts other than that good mold reuse

definitely would like the TAK Groove more

How bout some different weapons?
