>>10580180It's a bike, not a car. The sides of a bike are the most important, because they're the sides everyone always SEES from 90% of the angles you could ever come up with.
Look at this bike mode, it's beautiful. It is the exact same transformation, so I will accept zero excuses on behalf of it.
Anyways I agree the pelvis on the og isn't exactly perfect, I also thought it was weird or missing a piece as a kid. That said, I don't like that picture used earlier in the thread
>>10579172, because the angle and pose makes it look way more prominent than it actually is. It's very tiny in actuality, and rarely gonna be noticable if you're... actually posing the toy, lol. Not defending it, but just saying it's not as bad as it's being made out; definitely and absolutely a product of its time though. They didn't make figures THAT poseable as standard back then.
