Robot Mode
A good use of the IDW Megatron mould, the new headscuplt and colour scheme are very reminiscent of G2 Dreadwing and the cockpit in the chest adds to this, though a shame his cannon cant be affixed to the shoulder. Very good rendition of the comic version of Dreadwing, though of course it was based on the toy rather than the other way around so that should be no surprise. He is fairly small, but because it is Dreadwing instead of Megatron it is somehow less irritating.
Stealth Bomber Mode
Sleek and stylish. The hiding of the light blue parts and bringing the dark blue, silver and black to prominence make the colour scheme on the bomber more attractive than the robot. Certainly one of the better TF stealth bomber toys there has been.
Transformation
Fairly easy, not too difficult, lots of little clips to put him together tightly in stealth bomber mode. The wings becoming the battle cannon are a good touch.
Worth Getting?
Well its a good shout out to G2, a good shout out to IDW and a good figure overall so Id say yes :). And of course there is the free comic book to enjoy which adds to the fairly competitive pricing (even if all Dreadwing does is die and come back to life in it :rolleyes:).
