Do they just clip together?

They bend, fold and tab together. I've wanted to get one, but they kinda look scary in that i could screw up horrifically with even a minor misstep.

Given you have to bend and twist metal, I think it best they stick with very blocky forms.

A fair point (though Optimal Optimus might be blocky enough to work), but let me rephrase: It'd be nice if they did some of these for those of us who have an attachment to something else rather than G1. I'm sure there's a handful that would work. Tankor comes to mind. RiD (2001) Ultra Magnus might work too, but that's probably irrelevant because he's not the "real" Magnus.

All right, for you nay-sayers and those who are insanely curious:
These are NOT for the following - 1) Small children. Aw hell, I wouldn't give something like these to anyone under 15 to be honest 2)People with no patience. If you have no patience, you WILL screw these up. 3) Folks with no hand/eye coordination or a delicate touch. See point # 2 for the end result of such circumstances. And 4) which goes along with #3 actually, people with no grasp whatsoever of basic metal work. This **** is not paper, it does not react like paper or cardboard so if you are expecting it to then all previous points will come into play and your hopes for completion will come crashing down on you and you will screw this up.
Since I happen to meet or exceed all requirements and love these little mini statues and have all appropriate tools to work them (which I suppose should have been Point #5), I'll be snatching this stuff up!
