To name a few;
- Head slightly too small, and has no glasses.
- "Knees" are too high.
- The constructicons, some elbows look terrible.
- Long Haul is too bulky. They could easily create a piece to connect LH with Scrapper and Mixmaster. No worries there.
- Two purple colors?
But, there is one reason why I simply cannot buy this thing...is...
Mixmaster.
Vehicle mode:
- The cement barrel and the pipes are reversed?
- The front of the truck is not a front of a truck.
- The back is what? Back windows?
Robot mode:
- The mixer becomes a tail?
- Every head of the Constructicons is awesome in detail, but Mix has no guns on top of his head?
Well at least it saves me a lot of money.

I have to disagree. They're charging a full Voyager price point for each one of these guys, we're not even getting a discount for buying them as a set. A Voyager class figure not having proper elbows in this day and age is not acceptable in mine and many other's opinions. Not to mention Takara and Perfect Effect are showing us these figures were fully capable of having them. Any other Voyager coming out with these flaws would get slammed, they're being overlooked because fans are frothing at the mouth for a decent official modern Devy. To me the only way the these flaws can be overlooked is if you're viewing this set from a "Devastator" point of view. However, that's not what everyone wants. I would prefer to view them from a "Constructicons" point of view, I want good Constructicons who additionally have the ability to combine. That's why I will be getting the Takara version plus the Perfect Effect kit.

Mixmaster does retain the guns over his head, they're just unpainted.

Thanks for your response, I was wrong about his head. But there are trucks, machines that are too ugly and worthy of becoming a Transformer and this is one of them. I still consider this thing to be a big mistake to use as a Constructicon, or even a new Transformer.
Thanks for all the answers. Thank you.
