>and again this isn't constrained by the need to transform into vehicleIf you want an example of TF design which is actually constrained by the need to convincingly transform, I recommend you look at some of the designs from theamazingspino, or any of the variable fighter designs by Shoji Kawamori, both of whom actually plan out how their designs transform.
This is further proven by the fact that toy companies are able to make figures of their designs which actually transform the way they are supposed to, while hastak/3P are forced to resort of fake parts even on MPM figures.
