That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

You are, but what about the rabid Dragonzord fanboys :lol

Unless you just have to have the Ultrazord, I think everyone is better off without the shoulder mode. Bandai of America saves money not having to work it in, and I don't have to pay more because of it. It's a win win.
Besides, it's not like there's a new Titanus toy for it to go with, anyway.
Hmm? What's that? There is?
Oh...Carry on, then.

Ignoring that, it still needs to split open to form up with Mammoth, Tiger, and Tricera.

I don't mind having it separatable into parts, the original was almost like that too to an extent.
