But granted. It looks FANTASTIC. Just that they're not quite as playable or as user-friendly as a real Transformer.
To me the upgraded gestalt is much, much, MUCH more playable than the base toy combiner He now has extended articulation and poseability. He is also much more stable and with multiple weapons which immensely add to the play value. The individual figures also get a lot of play value by having multiple transforming weapons and even upgrades. I wouldn't call the base toy user friendly, the energon weapons and ill thought out joints and weight ratio make it unstable which is something that has been largely fixed with the upgrade.

Please don't tell me that Powercore combiner Bruticus is the better toy
