A straight up repaint of Cyberverse Knock Out, Hasbro didn't even bother retooling the head. :eek: The TF Prime aesthetics of this mould really doesn't suit the Movieverse motif, and makes it a poor presentation of AoE Stinger. The whole thing feels like a Chinese KO that you'd find at a dodgy market place or dollar store (it looks like Knock Out has been painted red and is crying rivers of black tears :p)... hard to believe that this is a legitimate Hasbro product. This is exacerbated by some of the panels not sitting flush in vehicle mode.
Overall
A poor execution of a lazy idea, although the core design of the toy (i.e. TF Prime Knock Out) is not a bad one, and very young kids may not care about the lack of visual fidelity with the screen model. As a Legion Class figure, it's a cheap enough toy, but even then I'd recommend getting it at below RRP due to some of the mould issues.
