I would've preferred, like, a gutted PCC style combiner. Rudimentary robot modes for the torso, arms, and legs, and simple or even ad hoc altmodes. A Weaponizer whose bits are people (or, uh, something). Basically put faces on parts that disassemble from the core body like Amalgamous Prime's. Coming up with something that interacts with the frame torsos is... Interesting, and actually kind of clever, but underwhelming.
Liege looks really good, will probably get it (I seem to be leaning most to the green-tinted Primes, Alchemist aside). It's one of the few renders that seems to have some shadows to it, which is interestingly on brand. I'm fine with it being more G2 comic than Aligned/Loki ish, although that would've been cool too. If this is what the Unicron Soldier is made out of (and it would definitely work), I may get that too. Would look neat next to the Arms Micron Unicron, which I'm sure it'll also be less frustrating than, heh.
Oh, wait, LEADER class? Oof. I may have to stick to just Liege then. Wish he and Nexus had swapped price points.
Smokescreen is... Idk, I had a bit of hope for this but I feel nothing from that design. The execution of the chest/torso could have been better. The proportions in general are okay, and the lack of kibble panel stacks is appreciated. But the torso is weird and the deco is kind of cheap looking (maybe a Beast Hunters deco would come across better). And why does it look like the shelf chest actually doesn't lock down flat?
