I really love this guy and think he is on par with bulkhead as far as commander class is concerned. The transformation is relatively basic and I love how the nose fits snuggly into his crotch.

Robot mode looks great and has really good articulation. Ball jointed hips, elbows and shoulders. Hinged knees and ankles and swivel upper thighs can create some great poses. His weapons can be combined to make the blaster look more menacing with a large bayonet. Sadly he doesn't come with his show accurate weapon.

Alt mode is sleek with all robot parts tucking snug under the jet. Impossible to hide but the arms do tuck in more than the mistransformed official pic.

Overall 9.5/10

Got him today. Love both modes. That jet is 100% better than Commander Starscream. Only criticism is that the leg ball joints are very loose so legs keep falling off. Arms under the wings in jet mode are a bit kibblesome also. nice colours. 9/10

The leg on mine fell off as I was opening the toy!! :eek: The big yellow transparent thing on the jet canopy looks weird. Otherwise it's a pretty nice toy. :)

I voted "Only if" -- I got him at Myer on sale for $15, and for that price I'm quite happy, but I noticed that the price tag was close to $20, and I'm not sure if any Commander Class toy is worth that much. $15 was the RRP for Scout Class toys. :/ It just feels cheap because the Commander RRP is so high.

Alright, I'm going to have to start buying these...
