>>8171727It's not so much the partsforming as it is the partsforming on Cliffjumper, a toy that whose design is simple enough and been done enough times that there is no reason for the partsforming
As mentioned, Wheeljack, Sunstreaker, and Runamuck all use the same concept (hood becomes feet, roof chest) and don't require it. A smaller Bumblebee was released that didn't need it. Making the same concept bigger somehow does.
Not that he's that bigger. He's a glorified scout charging Deluxe prices. The detaching rear doesn't even sit right on the car mode, sticking out too much and showing off the fists
He could've been a decent simple figure but they made him overcomplicated for no reason.
