Zondnautica bikes can have weapons sprue like basic rems and dismounted pilot can just have pistol+knife.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but it looks like the Taskmasters are actually an example of CB bringing weapon options back - the original blister has only HMG, and the second is a box, advertised as HRL but also has a Red Fury arm included (and Koalas, and a TinBot).
Amongst more recent stuff, IIRC Joan's release 1.0 model bizarrely has two heads (which on top of the pervy tactical umbra adds another ? to the ?? making ???), and the Caledonian Grey has arms to hold his HMG different. Not even different weapons, except the alt sculpt has his chopper out, fnar fnar. No, still an HMG Grey either way. Where does the two hand on gun guy even store that huge sword? That's not so bad actually for people after Tinbots... Except as a glorified marker there's really no point in having an actual mini.
Sure, but whether or not TinBot models are justified is a whole 'nother discussion that has nothing to do with SKU bloat or profile availability.
Indeed. Just a bit annoying since they're cool but basically useless. Except for that I guess. Gather all the tinbots you can and slap guns on 'em.
It takes a bit of cutting and fitting, but I did the swap with a Grenzer, and I do not expect it would be much more difficult with the Hollow Man.
That should be a good thing. I don't want no tactical rocks. What's that rock doing on my sleek starship base? What's that rock doing on my minimalist fluorescent acrylic base? Give me no rocks and I'll be a happy man. That's the biggest problem with the TJC box is that damn tactical rock on the Hollow Men mini.
I didn't buy the box ;). Hollow Men are coming out in a box with plenty of them. Securitate are going to get a box. I can get a Kriza from Beyond Icestorm. Heckler is available as a blister. Of course the Kriza in Beyond Icestorm is on a tactical ammo box... I don't normally run Kriza though.
