AM32 Stunticon Wildrider
Based on the TFPrime Wheeljack mold, Stunticon Wildrider is essentially the same figure but with redone colours and a retooled head to look like his G1 counterpart. And they have done a fantastic job indeed! Even with the little horizontal anteneas that come out of the sides of his head like he had in the cartoon. And he’s got a truly evil looking face! To my mind, the best official Wildrider figure we’ve had to date! When you look at him it makes you realize just how lazy they have been when they resued the mold for TFP Dead End, just making him some creepy looking thing.

Vehicle mode looks great as well. The stickers you need to apply really round out the G1 homage and the big Decep badge at an angle looks fantastic – just make sure you apply the stickers correctly as it comes in three parts and if you missapply them your badge is out of kilter. What I also thought was a nice touch was that he comes with two ‘Stunticon’ stickers that you can apply wherever you like, and follow the design and colour scheme used for the Botcon Stunticons logo a few years ago.

Ozu
An odd Arms Micron partner. To my mind looks more like a warthog than a mammoth but who am I to question (especially since neither animal is a cyclops anyway ;)). His Transformation of a grenade launcher is not bad, makes a difference from just the usual rifle shaped guns, but the handle is too long, and overall it is too bulky and pulls Wildrider’s arm down. Haven’t combined him with other AM’s yet, am going to get Rumble out tonight and then combine.

Overall I am immensely pleased with this toy package! After opening him and my Jet Vehicon General I completely sold on this line of figures. I hope Rumble stacks up as well tonight. If you like the Stunticons, I highly recommend this figure for your collection :)
