Jaruga doesn't understand, Railracer also has a combiner team member who barely does anything for the combination and mostly just hangs off the back as huge kibble and everyone loves him!
Because, unlike Jallguar, Rapid Run has the advantage of sounding just like Agent J from Men in Black: The Series. :p

I think if you take a couple appropriately sized blast effects, you can put them in Jaruga's hands, and have an instant jetpack. Problem solved.

Then take them out after you get the picture you want so they don't melt the hands.

I do wonder if there will be anything detail-wise in the final products since they don't seem to have Deathsaurus's chest-panel filler (not surprising considering their size) but we'll see. Everyone seems to want to treat this as though it's the absolute final, when they've clearly stated that while it's the solid concept, there are still things being worked on.

The legbots pretty much look like CW Longhaul already with the additional condition of Killbison’s tank mode being worse than Legacy Quake’s. I don’t see how the pants were such a big win.

When you’re already pantsforming, integrated feet don’t mean much.

You have to honor what the original did right and make concessions where it makes sense . Leg bots are easier (they're already doing it well with the Constructicons) than a lower torso bot (which they have yet and seemingly can't get right in modern combiner).

And they didn't want to repeat what they had done with Titan class Predaking wherein the combiner thighs were integrated into the leg bots, which led to them being bulkier and chunkier than they wanted them to be.

Yeah that's true. Even if that leg bulk was integrated, it wouldn't just disappear. You'd have to find some way of incorporating it into the figure, which either means a bunch of panel forming or just having the leg kibble hanging off them.

That said, it's not like it did Killbison any favors, though looking at the toy it appears to be mostly a visual design choice than one brought on by engineering? Like it doesn't seem like they couldn't have made him look more tank-like with the given design.

Yeah, that tank is rough. I hope that's one thing they're able to improve a bit.

The components, all of them honestly, have a lot of chunks to them. Seeing photos next to Deathsaurus and CW Liokaiser really puts it into perspective.

Part of the issue is that Killbison has always kinda just looked like a box with treads and a large cannon then an actual tank.

...Also it just hit me tonight that rather then "Chest force" they should have just dropped the r and be "Beast force" while they aren't animals, their companions are and all but one have an animal as part of their name. Just sounds better to me.

Someone once suggested that Hasbro should have just dropped the first R and called them "Beastforce" instead, but apparently another company already has ownership of that name.
