They were actually. The backpack on Cheetor's bot mode prevented a lot of poses. Dinobot's panels for the tail didn't close up properly and as with griffin's figure, mine too had the missile problem of being ultra sensetive after one use. I think it's the way the handle was done for the tail as a weapon. It interferes with the launching mechanism. The actual handle was a claw that just hugged the top and bottom of the figures hand that looked about 3mm too small, that you have to force fit and in turn, I believe, what affects the launching mechanism.
Otherwise I don't really mind the two BW Universe figures. But the arm kibble in Dinobot's alt mode, I know it's probably a tribute to the original toy but I expect better engineering than that these days. Cheetor was ruined by the mouth/eye gimmick which made the need for the huge backpack kibble in bot mode. Certainly not the Universe figure for everyone.
