The review actually makes the toy tempting...

Can't stress enough that this guy was a good purchase for me, but he might not suit other collectors so well. I've got two kids to help justify a big dumb item like this, and I enjoy adding paint details to my TF's when Hasbro stuffs them up - it's kind of reminiscent of applying stickers back in the 80s.
But straight out of the box, I think a lot of adult collectors would be very disappointed with him. It took Frenzy_Rumble's custom job to make me see the finer points of this guy. If not for that, he'd still be on the shelf.

Thanks for the review Sutton, but that's made me want the toy even less now (if that's possible). And as for whether it's a kid's toy, I think that's debatable. I've been collecting Transformers since I was a kid and I still play with my toys now; and being able to fully transform is a big appeal for me. Yeah sure, I bought Action Master Devastator in 1990 and it was a whole lot of suck since he can't transform or anything (nor any of the other Action Masters), but he was a _cheap_ carded figure. I never bought any of the boxed Action Masters as a kid (I received Overrun as a gift). So I guess it might depend on the kind of kid, but I reckon that if they ever released a gestalt during G1 that couldn't transform into individual robots, I would be hesitant against buying them. The toy may suit some children, but I don't think it would've suited me as a child.
But I'm glad you and your kids are enjoying it.
