Both. Not at the same time obviously. Clearly you can't make up your mind so do one for a day (or hour) then change them. That's what I do. Displays needn't be static!

It's a bit like RiD Prime and Magnus, I don't always have them separate, sometimes they bore me, so I combine them, sometimes Omega Prime bores me, so I separate them again... Sometimes Prime is in Super Mode, other times his trailer parts are in base mode... IMO the toys change appearance/modes for a reason, Displaying them, at least for me, reflects this.

I finally got around to combining Prime and Jetfire for the first time a couple of days ago, and to my surprise it looks bad ass. Pictures really don't do the combination justice, but in person it's really nice. So much so that I bought an additional Jetfire yesterday to display seperately, he was on sale to boot. I have Buster OP on preorder, so when he arrives I can have both figures displayed by themselves plus the combined mode.

Absolutely like El Duque said.

I will likely grab a Buster Prime at some point, and then I will combine Jetfire and "normal" Prime. I might even get another one just to have in truck mode. If you have the cash, then that would be the way to go. If you don't have the cash, then everyone else is totally right; display them a certain way until you are bored of it and then change it up.

You should pose the like figure skaters Scott Hamilton and Oksana Baiule.

Same here, I often change those two around.

Been there, done that. You should've seen Jetfire taking off for an octuple salchow. The old bot's got some life in him yet! Unfortunately, he landed in semi-alt mode and broke both hip actuators.
