I still count it, but if we need to get picky, we can call them half modes, so Primal has 2.5 modes, and Optimal has 3+0.5+0.5 = 4, so 6.5 modes overall.
Still counts.

Elita looks excellent in robot mode and while I don't anticipate ever using it, her torso mode is pretty striking and unique looking too. Hun-Grr is a delight because of how ingenious it is that they got a solid dragon mode out of a Silverbolt retool. He looks good in robot mode too, but the best part is very clearly the torso mode which looks quite phenomenal. Can't wait to get the rest of the limb components. He's gonna look excellent in fully combined mode.

I've got no space now for leaders so sadly I won't be getting them but if I did I'd just get an evil roddy and good roddy and have them playing chess together as Rodimus tries to outmanoeuvre his nemesis with the fate of cybertron in the balance....well either that or pose them like they're doing a scene from army of darkness.

She appears to be misassembled. Interesting.

Also, totally got Moonracer for the Target sale price of 14.99 today. WITH the card that I wanted, too!

One is by itself, the other is attached to something else in an entirely different role.
It's my head canon dude, much like SG Roddy

Spreading the joint open far enough to remove the toe requires either removing three screws and disassembling the entire lower leg, or removing two screws and carefully spreading the the leg just far enough that the toe will come out without cracking the lower leg. Doing it the first way is certainly less risky, and was what I did for the left leg, but on the right leg, one of the screws was already stripped, such that I had no way to remove it.
Unfortunately, if you spread the joint far enough that toe will come out, you've spread it more than far enough for the spring in Elita Infin1te's shoulder to lock to pop through to the other side. On my fully disassembled leg, fixing that made me feel like I had simultaneously too many fingers and too few. On the partially disassembled leg, fixing it was physically impossible.
Long story short, Elita-1 stands slightly better, but in combined form one of her arms will likely require gravity to hold it in place.

That sucks! That's exactly why I was hoping later runs would fix this issue, like we saw with the running change in that one peg hole in Starscream's back for his wing assembly in robot mode. If Hasbro doesn't fix this and Takara doesn't either, I'll just leave well enough alone. Sorry that your figure came out a bit worse for your troubles, Caelus.
