They buy it because they want to because they might actually like the toy.
I may have joked in my last post that that is why I bought Combiner Wars Optimus, but there is truth to this. I used to buy every Optimus I could. But I didn't like how Beast Hunters Optimus looked, so didn't buy any version of him. Also, by the time AOE came out, I was seriously done with the Bay films, and didn't even want to buy any of the related Optimus Primes. (Although I may eventually give in on the Evasion Mode mold.) Finally, I've yet to get any related to the new cartoon.
So yeah... Once I bought every Optimus Prime I could. But these days, I am a little more discerning. And the Combiner Wars one made the cut.

I really hate prices here in Canada I used to be able to buy Transformers left and right a few years ago but now the ridiculous prices mean I only get about 5 Transformers a year.
5 Transformers for an entire year.
I hate taxes I feel that the governments are raising the prices of everything on purpose so they can control everyone or else they go homeless.
Really hate life outside of my house.

Define "recent times."
1: A matter of opinion can only go so far before it becomes a bullcrap statement like it does here stating on how it doesn't look like a Transformer.
2: recent times being from Generations to Combiner Wars.
Generations/Combiner Wars is not a toyline about being direct remakes of G1 or about what fans want but a toyline of strong homages to Generation 1 and IDW and a nice treat to the dedicated fans in hopes they can slowly accept other things.

That said, Alpha Bravo and Offroad are better.

That's not a valid argument on your part. If that's his opinion of the figure, that's his opinion.mirageandjazz1197 wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Matter of opinion. He has his, you have yours.

Is that an official Hasbro statement regarding the toy line? Or is it your opinion?2: recent times being from Generations to Combiner Wars.

Also, Generations has been going for years now. Considering that, I agree with his statement of CW Prime's engineering and design being steps backwards compared to a vast majority of the Generations figures.

1. Its his opinion but there is such thing as an opinion being wrong he said it doesn't look like a Transformer when thats not the case.
2. It's neither it's just obviously what the point of the line is from what me and others see (I have discussed this matter with other people so I'm not alone in this mindset)
3. Of course its not going to be the same standard as the past since nowadays Hasbro has multiple lines and there is not as much plastic as there used to be leading to cheap quality feeling toys and hollow parts but it doesn't mean that its going backwards its just more simple and less detailed.

OK, I can accept that. He did say it looked like a Power Ranger, and that's being a bit harsh.mirageandjazz1197 wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:That's not a valid argument on your part. If that's his opinion of the figure, that's his opinion.

So it is just your opinion, that happens to be shared by others, including myself. However, that doesn't make it the official purpose of the line. It's just what we think it is.2.

That's exactly what it means. It's regressing in quality, engineering and aesthetics. That's going backwards in every facet of a Transformer figure....cheap quality feeling toys and hollow parts but it doesn't mean that its going backwards its just more simple and less detailed.

Being less detailed is not going backwards.
We don't need unnecessary detail as as the toy is good and fun to play/pose with.

There always was real Aerialbots that just happened to have a couple of new members.
New members is always a good thing.

If we were talking gas, smoke, booze, property values, i'd be right with you in blaming Ottawa but it's not the government on this one my friend. This is a direct result of the Canadian economy take a hit against the US greenback. This is both in part to the drop in the price of oil (Alberta will take the brunt of this) and the recent gains made by the American economy against the Asian and European markets.

Thank you for correcting me I use Government because I did not know which was the accurate description so I used what I thought was close enough.

I never once had even a temptation to buy that impostor, but I am happy we're getting all 5 real members of Superion.Ironhidensh wrote:I'm so glad I didn't break down and pull the trigger on Alpha Bravo now! My Superion will have real Aerialbots now!
On a different note, I may have missed this, but if Groove isn't a part of Defensor anymore, who is replacing him?

Funny. I just watched The Key to Vector Sigma last night, and I could swear there were five jets, including some guy named Slingshot who was kind of a jerk to Ironhide, and in fact the most prominent member of the team in their introductory episode aside from Silverbolt. And I didn't see any Alpha Bravo anywhere...
So, er, define "always," please. Because the way I understood the word, it was not a subjective word.
Lies. Alpha Bravo has ALWAYS BEEN AN AERIALBOT.
I know it's a Photoshop. I just find some of the venom directed at Alpha Bravo a little ridiculous, and the idea that he has retroactively been made a G1 Aerialbot to destroy the childhood of his naysayers strikes me as funny.
QUIT DESTROYING MY CHILDHOOD MRBLACK!!!

Doesn't look like anyone answered this one, which is a bit of a surprise. Maybe they didn't notice the question tucked away at the end of your post?
Anyway, unlike the other two replaced bots, Groove is still a part of Defensor. He is just now a Legends class figure:
Meanwhile, since you can't have a Legends class limb, there is a new guy, named Rook, who becomes a SWAT vehicle:
And poor Groove has been downgraded from limb to chest plate:
Since, even with the downgrade, Groove is still a part of the team, while still slightly bothered I can live with this option. Even if Takara pulls a Deluxe Groove out of their arses, I may still go Hasbro. I'll certainly go Hasbro for this one if Takara doesn't announce their intentions before Hasbro's becomes available for sale.

I see it, alt-mode close enough to the move version, though I'd prefer a paint job similar to the animated/ROTF design....
Then Lockdown could finally be part of something

Brake Neck, Wildrider, whoop dee doo.......who cares? The only people who are picking these two up are the people who cried rivers of tears when they found out that they had been replaced due to death in G3 fiction. Crushing their dreams of shoehorning these next generation figures into their "geewun classics" collection, right next to their HFTD Seaspray and FOC Shockwave.
