>>11115474My biggest issue with the AOE toy is the wrist/elbow orientation for robot mode - the wrists can't rotate, and the elbows are designed to ben side-to-side instead of forward/backwards (and only do so a tiny bit), meaning you have to rotate her whole shoulder to make her raise her arm, which renders the point of elbows useless. It can be somewhat remedied by keeping her arms in their raptor leg configuration (the shins can rotate to act as wrists, the knee joint makes a far better elbow that points the right way and has better range of motion, and her toes can close like fingers so she can hold stuff), but it ends up giving her disproportionately long arms akin to Kingdom Paleotrex's, with the new 'wrists' having an awkward bend to them.
There's also the fact that she's got that rubber on her, meaning that no matter what you do she WILL degrade in time; this is a huge issue because her entire tail, which covers her robot head, is a single piece of rubber, and once that goes, her beast mode is utterly fucked. Sadly, it's not a matter of if, but a matter of when.
