Other toys like Big Convoy, BT/ALT Grimlock/Wheeljack and RotF Leader Optimus Prime tend to suffer from this. Toys like MP Ironhide/Ratchet are complex toy, but they're intuitive and fun to transform. All the post-MP10 MPs are generally fun and intuitive, which has possibly contributed to the rise in popularity in this line (which translates to TakaraTOMY producing more figures to satiate consumer demand).
Haha, nah only got into collecting again 3 years ago and that's when I scored him... been on display since. One good thing, though - he never fell over during the Mackay earthquake a few months back. I heard he can shatter.
