You seem to suggest that I'm contradicting myself in my statement which i disagree.
My first reply was to your statement that the combiners appeared to resemble "gorillas", thus I assumed that you were complaining about the bulk size of it but then after reading your second statement, I'm thinking that maybe you are referring to the arm's length which extends all the way to the knee joints hence giving them that "ape-like" appearance which is why i replied to you regarding the mechanics.
I'm sure Hasbro finds the actual combiners wanting for something and I'm sure they still think the illustration in the comics are better but like i said, "restrictions" will not help them achieve what they wanted to achieve. So, it's the matter of Hasbro following the comic rather than the other way around.
Wow! Seems like you've been through the Transformers franchise since they were released. Care to show me which combiners Hasbro has released that in your opinion is better than the current combiner wars line? I just started collecting the toys as of late 2011 so have no idea of its predecessors.
I am referring to the overall proportions.
The job of a toy designer is to overcome restrictions as much as possible.
So if Hasbro is trying to follow the comic as you now confess, how is it not obvious that they've fallen seriously short?
As for better combiners:
Considering the
time of their release, I find most official combiner lines from the past to be better accomplishments than CW. From G1 to War of Cybertron to Energon Combiners to even some of the Power Core Combiners (matter of opinion of course).
In today's market, I really expect better from Hasbro.

Really? Okay. I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Actually some parts of that admittedly ugly guy STILL look better than CW Combiners
