I sort of did, saying that because Baxter's desire to be human comes and goes on the whim of the writers, and the character himself is pretty stupid, it's not surprising that the immediate solutions to his problems get sidestepped.

Heck, look at "'Revenge of the Fly". For all the fuss people make about his not getting to turn human, only at the very last part of the episode does that become a priority for Baxter. Even when he was in the Technodrome itself, with all its equipment, the possibility of using it to turn himself didn't occur to him
