Rant about 6-changer Quickswitch Autobot

I love the idea of a six changer (of course - my fave ever TF is triple-changer Astrotrain) but every mode basically looks like a random pile of plastic lego.
I mean, you could just say Starscream is a 6-changer and put a bunch of phases on the box called things like "bent-over jet" ...

Hasbro were trying to claw back their dwindling Transformers line as their original grew into video games and TMNT took over the attention of their new target age group.
Ok, this is just a rant (I don't own this toy) so feel free to tell me where to go, but this is the point for me where the G1 universe jumps the shark.

notpicard That may be why I never got the 6-changers as a kid. Well, that and money. I think the weakness of so many modes is that it becomes impossible to delineate them by color. The first two Triple Changers remained the best imo because each vehicle mode had a new dominant color. And Takara totally did do the jet bent over mode when they marketed the first Kronoform watch. That commercial is both nostalgic and ridiculous:https://youtu.be/wNlb0h6qig8

8bitgamer Yes to the colour thing. I’d love to see a truly ingenious (masterpiece?) 4 changer
