>>10804821If you let something like that completely ruin an otherwise 10/10 bot, I dunno what to tell you. Like yeah, it's a flaw, but christ, he still mogs pretty much every other muscle car Transformer in existence in spite of it.
Personally, I think it's a flaw that only makes him stronger. He proves that articulation isn't the most important thing about a Transformer and never was. A bot can have the best articulation in the world, but if the alt mode is shit and it's no fun to transform, then what's the fucking point? It's hard for me to think of a bot in my entire collection where just looking at it makes me want to pick it up and transform it more than Downshift. He's got G1 minibot energy with deluxe class clout.
