Fair points, but, like I said, that's the slippery slope to justifying pretty much anything, which kind of dilutes the purity of the concept.
If I accept the possibility of flamers/ klaws (however neatly explained fluff-wise), I get to the point of should they have a trukk (among others)?
That's the point I reach when I'm trying to make them better for the sake of it, which kind of undermines the purpose.
