Basically yes, which has been, and continues to be, the problem.

[The explanation makes Jetfire chuckle, and he nods.]

I suppose so, yes. That seems somewhat similar to that for our combiner teams usually have something of a leader who forms the torso and head module... But all five or six still needs to sublimate, so your method would still be less absolutely dependent on a larger amount of participants. Is it a matter of power-levels, or access to power that rises with additional crewmembers, then?
