The blue is quite vibrant, the yellow stands out well on his chest with the Decepticon Symbol in the middle, the soundwave patterns on his shoulders, the shoulder cannon – all good! Good to see the cassette-player symbols on there too despite the fact that’s not what he transforms into. He also has an extra little satellite dish that can flip out from the side of his head.

Once again you can flip out the satellite dish which makes sense for the vehicle, whereas the cannon definitely does not.
