That's the one negative I have on the mold. You loose that little extra bit of stability and security transforming the arms with the loss of the pegs.
I don't care so much about the stability, personally - my LG Kup holds together in vehicle mode considerably better than my Tribute Orion Pax does, in fact - but the new shoulders definitely don't
look nearly as good as part of the vehicle. Where TR Kup had a clean line from cab to back-end-trailer-bed-thing that hid the hands a little, LG Kup has a bit of a gap right where they join and as a result the hands are also much more visible. (It doesn't help that because of some slight difference in thickness around the wrists, both hands are weirdly angled in vehicle mode and so they don't even line up properly with
each other.)
Even so, fantastic toy. Despite being one of the highest prices I've paid recently compared to the amount of toy I got for it, he's probably one of my least-regretted Transformers purchases this year. (Let's be honest, every purchase has a
little bit of regret behind it
)
