They would still find a way to mess it up with breaking or loose hinges or whatnot.

Robot mode is great, the headmaster is great (other than needing a little more paint, a common complaint on most headmasters) and a cool homage to the lion Battle Beast, but dragon mode just sucks.

In robot mode, it's pretty nice, but, try and transform it and it's crappy nature shows true. First the shoulders are tabbed in too tight and do not want to flip around for alt mode. Then his necks really don't want to tab into the place their supposed to, but this is all minor compared to the lower body.

That is my biggest gripe with it. You are forced to have the feet angled as triangles, like bird feet, to balance him in a decent erect pose.
This figure could have really benefited from just a bit more thinking through.
