IMO the combined mode is pretty cool but it's not what you'd call a traditional TF combiner with various different robots forming limbs. It's more like a battle suit for Optimus.

I used to like having the drones from Optimus combined with Omega while Optimus himself was combined with Wing Saber. I really miss Wing Saber, I hope that's one of the Platinum releases, to complete the set, especially since it didn't get a wide western release.
