In principle, no, in execution (IMO) yes.Quote:

The problem with Grimlock's so-called flame breath is that it looks like Grimlock nibbling onto the bottom of the sword handle - the upper part of the handle and the hilt are clearly visible, as is the whole blade of the sword which isn't entirely translucent.
And fwiw I'm really not a huge fan of the flame missile-exhaust gimmick in the first place. To me it was always a barely passable gimmick. So to me it seems that HasTak have taken what was a pretty ordinary concept and made it worse. (-_-)
It's nice that they have tried to do something with the sword, but the results don't look very good to me. I would've prefered just having a stowage place for the weapon.
