Unfortunately we went kinda backwards in 2004 with the Energon/Superlink Gestalts whose hands and feet were detachable accessories.
I think detachable parts are ok IF they can be stored somewhere in bot and alt mode, and if they actualy look like something. The Energon accessories might have been ok if they actualy looked like robot feet or fists and not transparent wierd things.
