As mentioned by others, there are points of articulation which are hindered by the design, but it's up to you whether maintaining a faithful design is worth it. One thing I noticed right away upon opening them is a strong smell of rubber rather than plastic. In fact, a significant portion of the figures seem to be made of a soft-ish, almost soap-bottle type rubbery plastic rather than the hard plastic you might expect from a traditional Transformers figure. It isn't inherently a bad thing, but just a bit different than I expected.
There is one small nitpick I have about Banzai-Tron though, and that has to do with his face. I don't know if maybe whoever designed the head sculpt didn't have the original figure on hand, but he/she completely misinterpreted his face mask. There's a part that's supposed to come inward, almost the mouth carved onto a samurai mask, but instead the Super7 version juts outward as if to give him an underbite. The bottom-left panel on this page shows how his original G1 toy was, but instead, where it goes inward, his mask goes outward. Not the end of the world, but an odd choice that definitely looks a little less cool, in my opinion. Other than that small gripe, I like him quite a bit.
