Does Anyone Else Think Pyramidas Could've Been a More Interesting Figure?

(This is just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt. Also, this is just critique of Pyramidas, not a rant.)
While Pyramidas was very powerful in the show (especially in Zeo Ultrazord Mode), the toy version was a bit gimmicky (unfortunately that's how most carrier zords are). Even though how it looked in the show and as a toy doesn't really matter compared to functionality, the carrier mode was strange-looking (because you're simply stacking the zeo zords on top of it, even though they originally could travel just fine without it, which makes the carrier mode pointless then), and I always saw the megazord mode as looking brickish and having a giant gut for a finisher weapon. The amount of heavy detail is nice, and I do like the head sculpt, but that's about it. For years now, I've been trying to draw my own redesign of it so it could look cooler and have cooler features. It wasn't until last night that I finally figured out how to do so: Have it look more like a spaceship (instead of a pyramid flying through space), be able to separate the spaceship into an Ultra Zord component and pyramid component, have the Zeo Zords fit inside of the Ultra Zord, have the pyramid fold down its panels to reveal a mini-zord, have the mini-zord transform into a megazord (with several points of articulation), have the megazord fly around on the unfolded pyramid component (like Kirby does on his Warp Star), have the megazord ride on the back of the Ultra Zord component, and have the megazord combine with the Red Battle Zord.
What's your opinion on the show and toy version of Pyramidas?
