Not sure to post this here or the RID section. So it appears RID now is taking ques from the Unicron Trilogy's gimmicks. First are the return of the Mini-Cons from Armada and now we have the recently revealed Combiner Force which appears to be based on powerlinking from Energon. Maybe some time they'll be a gimmick based on the Cyber Keys from Cybertron?
From what I've seen of the gimmicks of RiD, they'd be incredibly intrusive, and I hope they don't go down that route. If they have trouble making articulated combiners (the Combiner Force looks like it's articulation is limited to arm movement), then how would they put in Cyber Keys without making the figure a complete brick?
