But the torso mode is solid, the colors and sculp are pretty nice, the joints are tight, and it was fun to transform. Sure, She's not the "toy of the year", but for a transformers, Elita-1 do the job perfectly.
Assuming she's like Starscream you can remove her arm panels to slim down her forearms, which help her overall silhouette and while she still remain with an implied amazonian physique (but what else would you expect from Optimus' female counterpart in Generation 1, a skinny robo-waif?), it at least give her arms that don't look overly inflated.
I actually sort of like Elita's proportions for similar reasons, beyond it being slightly different from the norm and more of a bulky fem like Strongarm I think it makes sense for the leader of the "Fembots" (I hate this term, I would love for a new official name to be used for Elita's team) to be the toughest of the bunch, also makes sense to have her taller so that she can be closer in height to Optimus because lets face it that it would be weird to have a deluxe class Elita 1 interacting with a voyager or taller Optimus.
That's just me though, the guy who never has a problem with character changes for the most part.
