I fell for Bombshock too, and it happened quite fast. I remember looking into the line itself because I thought the concept was neat, and of course because I've always wanted a TF combiner... regardless of their drek following.
As it turned out, I didn't much care for the rest of em, but I really liked Bombshock (especially since his torso mode actually looks like a new bot), so I bought him on sight when I was in Zellers because nobody else in the city still had it. Haters aside, I don't regret doing so one bit, and the fact that he falls apart easily doesn't bother me either because he's displayed in my bookcase anyway.
