Still missing my point.
Big difference in if something was meant to be a homage or someone just went "that looks cool" and used it. But either way, calling this Bot as close to an Awe Striker is a stretch. There's barely a resemblance and only if grasping. As a transforming robot with a human driver, this isn't actually that bad. |

And while it may be a "stretch" to say the new HA buggy thing is an AWE, the Snow Cat transformer is based off the G.I. Joe Snow Cat. The Joe Snow Cat really has no real world equivalent, it was specifically made for G.I. Joe, so using that as an alt mode can't be anything but a blatant homage. That said, the new HA buggy is generic enough to be loosely inspired by the AWE buggy, which in effect was loosely based on real life military buggies. But when push comes to shove, I really can't call it an AWE TF yet. Though I personally welcome the idea of cross line homages and toys, since both Joes and TFs are things I'm into. Sure it's no Dominator Megatron or Rolling Thunder Prime, but it's a start. |

Actually Snow Cat was Cyclonus' upgraded form, Demolishor turned into a Dumptruck and actually kept his original name.

Wow. Sounds like lots of ya'll have pissed at this line. In the name of building happier fandoms, please feel free to send any unwanted HA sets to me. The price of shipping that you pay will be worth clearing your mind that you own these figures. Since you don't want them, please, send them to someone who does. I am happy to provide a public service of housing unwanted HA figures. I'm kind like that.

My opinion about this line is in general positive I got almost all the sets and the ones I don't have is just because I didn't want them. I think the cars looks great with some neat details. Robot forms also look ok to me specially considering all the effort required to have a working cockpit. Figures yes most are lame they just don't seem right the only more or less ok is Sam all the other kinda suck. And since this line is mostly about human interaction hasbro screwed in this point. Take some S6 figures they were small but much better the paint apps better and even the articulation when they wanted. There are some S6 figures with proper articulation. So I think the figures could have been a bit better even could be a S6 mold without so much articulation. There are to go into the cars anyway not make special poses.
