Downplay the Power Animals all you want. The fact remains that as a package they provided a better combined mode experience.

And hey, I could understand your complaint about the gallery comparing the two sets if you were coming from the perspective of "these two sets are trying to do two different things," but you're not taking that approach. You're claiming that the Zyuoger set is superior to the Power Animal set. Which is false. It's not a matter of personal taste re:aesthetics. The Zyuoger set is a set of simplified spring loaded auto flip figures you literally stack on top of each other.
If you still dig them? Ok. Cool. Just don't try to make them something they're not.

You're either deliberately or inadvertently missing the point he's making, but either way you're misrepresenting what's actually being said. He has not said anything about ZyuohKing as the mecha being better than GaoKing, or said that the way the animals come together is more creative. He didn't even imply that. You can't make a counterargument for something that has not actually been argued in the first place.

All he is arguing is about the specific Cube Animals being well engineered and creative in their individual transformations. Which is not something he is wrong about.

He also never said anything about the cubes being unequivocally better than the power animals. His exact words were:

Which is kind of exactly the "these two sets are trying to do two different things" approach you say he should be taking. In this case, it seems he is arguing that their strengths are that the power animals have a stronger focus on aesthetics while the cubes generally have more involved transformations. Which, again: not actually incorrect.
