I think they had the right idea with Silverbolt. The Concorde is a humongous thing. The frame approach let them make a Silverbolt that rightfully dwarfs the limb bots in var mode but not in robot mode. It could have worked.

I disliked the frame system, but it kinda stops being cheating if the frame is 100% made of one of the individual bots. That Bruticus frame is still just Onslaught. It is arguably less cheaty than the traditional approach with loose hands and feet.
Just remind it that we've survived everything thrown at us so far and it should refuse to challenge us like Gemini refused to challenge Atari Chess. And if it does take a swing, all we have to do is survive round 1 and it should collapse into a puddle of despair. We behave more like Terminators...
