>>80283792 part torsos are interesting, but original characters are in the minority, and gestalts are already pretty expensive in design man-hours.
but I would like to see that used for LioKaiser, as well as for a series of homages for the Micromaster gestalts. I have the impression no one really cares about those Micromaster gestalts, so they wouldn't care if they weren't exactly the same, but I'd love to see them redesigned with the 6th member better integrated instead of just plugged in as ass kibble.
I know scale is always ignored, but I'm second-guessing using the 6th member in SixTurbo and SixWing as the legs, since they have an alt mode that's a smaller vehicle. but it would be too demanding to have something like a 7 or 8 member combiner. Imagine just 2 more members as legs and a small one as the head. Maybe if they were all small basics, like the current new versions of Micromasters.
I'd love to see gestalts with 2 more members forming the thighs, even if they weren't functional scramble-city gimmicks with full interchangeability. Just better proportions that don't require so much compromise on the torso bot. G1 got around that by having HUGE torso bots, but it feels like all the homages to them that they do always have torso bots that are too small to make decent thighs.
