Opaque windscreens are rather tiresome also.

Opaque windows can work, it depends how they do it. When you get BIS Hot Rod with his baby blue windows... NO. When you get say, Hot Shot with his sparkly blue windows, then yes.
So really, for me if it is opaque, it better be sparkly.

You're evidently not a driver. Still, if your wheels are fake, an opaque windscreen is unlikely to be hazardous to anyone's health. Martin |

No toy has 100% fake wheels. Just some faked.
It was the larger Spychangers that really annoyed me.

You're evidently not a driver. Windows aren't needed to drive. Just look at Captain Scarlet's SPV. That had a video camera on the front and the driver sat facing backwards! |

hmm i dont mind opaque windows... fake wheels though yeah, dont like them. this also goes for fake tracks although i understand why it is done as tracks are hard to work with... still though i am always a bit dissapointed when i transform a tracked TF and the designers dont even try...

I'd much rather have faked tracks than rubber ones. Several of my microman rubber tracked toys have snapped their tracks.

Transmetal Rampage was a good use of working rubber tank tracks!

I have a Runamuck and a Topspin sitting on my desk. I'm waiting for their brothers before I release the Phil reviewing fury upon them.

Battlechargers were awesome! If only they were re-issued.

Fake wheels do irritate me a little bit. Mostly because I am forever absently trying to spin them and then remember sheepishly that they don't move.
What annoys me more are actual wheels half-sticking out of the undersides of aircraft altmodes. Proper undercarriage would be nice, if not I would prefer none at all. (But that is an irrational personal quirk)

I like those wheels because then the plane can be whooshed along a table-top!

Me too. Better embedded wheels than none at all.

I am fully aware that this is a personal quirk with me. It is part of the weird way my brain is wired that says that 'planes get zoomed through the air, rather than driving over the furniture (in my mind that is what tanks are for).
Even when I was very young I remember trying to work out of the wheels could be removed from Matchbox 'planes and being rather disappointed that they couldn't.

...driving over the furniture (in my mind that is what tanks are for). I am now picturing a family settling down on the sofa of a Saturday night with a Chinese take-away to watch The X Factor. Suddenly Karl comes bursting through the wall, driving a tank and rolling over the furniture, crushing grandma and prawn crackers alike! |
