And of course all six of them can form another larger robot - Gaia Cross.
Wow, now That, is an
amazing gimmick.
That's actually nothing too spectacular. Landcross's components always did that and the end result wasn't really anything special. In fact, it was the combined pairs that were treated more like the real robot forms instead of the smaller two robots that make up the united duo.

That's not entirely true. while Landcross did get defeated more often than he won, there are at least two factors that need to be taken into account.
One is that Landcross (and all of his components, the Multiforce) was mostly a rookie. The Multiforce were young, youthful Autobots who served under the more higher-ranked, more experienced, and more powerful Brainmasters. So, it's only natural that the more inexperienced fighter wouldn't do so well in the battlefield when compared to his superior officers.
Two is that the opponents he fought were way more powerful and battle-savvy than he was. Dinoking may not have been the brightest combiner of the Cons, but he was still enough to give the likes of Star Saber (the Autobot leader) and Road Caesar (the Autobots' main combiner at the time) a difficult time. And pitting Landcross against Liokaiser is just suicidal, as Liokaiser is one of (if not
the) most powerful Decepticon combiners ever, with Star Saber barely managing to defeat him and needing help from God Ginrai (Japanese equivalent of Powermaster Optimus Prime) to do so. If two of the Autobots' most powerful commanders could barely stand up to Liokaiser, Landcross hasn't got a prayer of defeating him.
So, he doesn't always lose because he's a Waspinator-esque weakling, but because he's inexperienced and tends to be put against far more powerful opponents.
