He will need repainting into less loud colours though, that's for sure.
And let's face it, at least it's better than the G1 combiners.

Abominus was the most possible of all G1 combiners. This Abominus looks like a PCC. Now Grimstone finally has a rival.

That Bot wrote:Having a different opinion on what looks good, what's acceptable, and what I like, does not make me a Hasbro employee. It makes me an individual with unique tastes that, evidently, do not line up with yours. What I see here is a beastly combiner made out of five figures in the smallest size class Hasbro currently makes. Each figure turns into a monster, a robot, AND a component of the larger combined robot, retails for $6, and has to adhere to strict requirements on plastic quantity, number of parts, paint details, and other limitations in order to be mass produced and sold at that price. For the price of admission, I quite like what I'm seeing.

Ok, i'll bite... let's put this in your hands alone from here on...
If I told you "make a combiner robot, but the limbs HAVE to look like they don't transform, and the core must NOT look like it can support the weight, and the legs HAVE not be able to stand up straight because they bump into each other...
...how different would you design it from this? Or, is it exactly just that?

Given the restrictions of durability, plastic amount, and number of parts allowed, what would you have done?
Handels-Messerschmitt wrote:That each component has its own two individual decent-looking modes plus the fact that they turn into monsters instead of a brick with wheels also goes some way towards explaining why it isn't the best possible gestalt of this size.
Handels-Messerschmitt wrote:Of course it's easier to do a better arm out of something that has bulk and doesn't need limbs of its own, and it gets even easier if you decide to prioritise the combined mode over the robot or alt mode. That obviously hasn't been done because each component figure is sold separately and is meant to be appealing on its own merits.
