Some say it was to sell toys.
Others, that Hasbro was becoming increasingly alarmed at his burgeoning addiction to Tang.

It is said that one should always look before a leap. The same is true for modding, and not just because of sharpened objects in close proximity to fleshy bits. In fact, I usually take a day or so just thinking of how to fix the toy before I actually do the fix.
Such was not the case this time.
