Just out of curiosity, does this way of transforming him put any extra pressure on the joints or plastic?

This set isn't the best thing ever, it cetainly has its flaws, but I have a giant weakness for any good gestalt, particularly Bruticus and Superion; this set just scratches that itch the right way. I've got the G2 one, just got it in the mail the other day, and I love it! One part raw nostalgia (especially since he'll be sitting next to g2 Swindle when I find shelf space for him!) and one part new and awesome. Despite the flaws, I think this set is absolutely worth it for anyone who likes a good combiner.

Yes and no, It did but the joints on Blastoff legs is one of the strongest joints on Bruticus, so the pressure mean nothing. And the way that they log the legs together, make it look like they Know that this part gonna get some pressure like this in the first place.

Just make sure you face the joints the right way, and it'll be safe.

I just tried this (there's another version that works pretty much the same way) and I don't like the level of stress put upon it. It's frightening.
