Monke to robot transformation is fairly predictable but the crotch mode transformation is ingenious. It uses a similar sliding rail system to Armada Overload/Stege Magnus to move the legs into the chest for crotch mode.
There's precedent with the Fossilizer combiner (crappy as it was) but I dunno, most combiner leg modes are just the altmode stood up so I'm not particularly convinced.
Or an in-depth bio. But, if one of these new Junkions has an extra noggin hidden among their parts, then I'd say there's probably meant to be a combiner, though. That leg configuration is pretty convincing, but a combiner head would seal the deal.
You don't even need a name. Hasbro can't make its mind up about Elita One's combiner and the Starscream and Inferno combiners still aren't named. As long as you appear on something with the Hasbro or takara stamp, you exist.
They're pretty good. Not as good as the other Core-class figures I got but considering the combiner gimmick, I can forgive the limited articulation and kibble.
I can understand the compromises when it comes to the torso components. What baffles me is how Grimlock is so much worse when all he has to do is form a box.
I was optimistic that they'd use the jank to their advantage. There's things they can get away with in Core class that wouldn't be accepted in Deluxes. They can sacrifice some articulation to give us an interesting combination.
I'm no longer optimistic. Grimlock is janky but it doesn't seem to be for any good reason. Leg bots have the easiest job and that's what they came up with.
