I bought this. Wish I didnt buy it.

It's sh*t.

This toy is second only to Sideswipe as the most suckiest TF3 toy.
The truck mode is a mess, with gaps all over the place and bits not lining up properly (no matter how much I tried), plus its got those "solar panels" on the top for no reason (the toy could have been designed without them, and made more sense).

The robot mode is out of proportions, with its huge legs and small abdomen. Not to mention the tiny arms holding onto an oversized (Mechtech) gun.

Throw in the fact that these TF3 size classes are smaller than previous movie toys, this one just feels like such a rip-off (and that's even after buying it in America at about half the cost of the ones here).

Avoid this unless you can't afford the larger sized ones and need something (marginally) bigger than the various Deluxe sized cast members.
