Umm...sure, whatever, as long as ya'll also agree P/CP doesn't conform to the PotP aesthetic, (NOT a LIMB) we can agree to disagree. In any case comparing P/CP to say Siege Sideswipe (which doesn't appear to have battle damage or a Cybertronian mode), I retract my last statement.
If we're talking "aesthetics," we're talking "looks." Aesthetically, Punch/Counterpunch fits in just fine with the rest of Power of the Primes. You're talking about "gimmicks," in which case, yes, P/CP can't be a combiner limb, but he CAN accommodate Prime Armor and interact with Prime Masters in exactly the same way as any other Deluxe in the line can. In fact, he pulls that part off a LOT better than Wreck-Gar.
As for Sideswipe in War for Cybertron: SIEGE, he does have battle damage. It's most noticeable on the black parts of his shins. His alt mode is not a real car either, but a more "Cybertronian"/futuristic stylization, like most other figures revealed so far in the line, not the least of which is Optimus Prime. So, no, Siege Sideswipe is a terrible "whataboutism" to cite if you want to make a point about Punch/Counterpunch in the Power of the Primes line.
