I hope it's just for his shoulder cannons, as the odd nature of the gears and how they sometimes get out of place (and make cracking noise when you try and articulate them) is my only real problem with the original toy. It looks like maybe they're using more of the chest area for the transformation instead of space for gimmicks this time.

Really? I think compared to the old toy, beast mode certainly has the most improvements, but robot mode looks pretty much perfect to me! The only thing in both modes that i think looks a little odd, are the hind leg's feet - in bent over stance they look too long - but then standing up, they seem intentionally so for balance, so I think it's a good trade off! Maybe the elbow hinges could have been done cleaner too, but apart from that consider me hyped!
