His colour scheme is good and like most of the Neo figures he has a little smirk/smile on his Bot mode face. :D
Transformation is quite intuitive, if you've ever had a BM Nightviper you'll get the feel of his transformation quite easily, but the way his arms assemble are a little odd as his left arm is on a hinged lever assembly which is doesn't plug in anywhere but, along with his whip-arm, it has slightly hampered poseability due to his 'Poncho' but it still works quite well though. :o
Saberback: From memory, like most of the Neo Dinosaurs he has a little too much 'Shellforming' going on be he is definitely the cooler bloke out of the bunch as he has this cool crown in bot mode and his odd 'Flower Gun', formed by his tail section splitting, is also pretty narly. ;)
I'm sorry I can't give you more on Saberback as it's been a while since I had him (Should not of gotten rid of him but you learn :o) and I'll be in the hunt to reacquire him and the others down the track. :)
I know I keep saying it but next time I go to Shellharbour I'll try and grab yo one man, we just haven't been over that way in a while. :oQuote:

Bugger the backing card man just grab it - They're hard enough to come by let alone 100% complete with packaging etc. ;):cool:Quote:

Cheers dude, I hope that you're enjoying your trip - The chrome is in spectacular condition for a loose figure and I've got to say that he is quite awesome and that at some point I will have my hands on that mold you mention. ;):pQuote:

Tracks would approve for sure. ;):p
That has to be one of the coolest acquisitions I've seen to date! :eek::cool:Quote:

I was actually searching ebay for the he-man versions of these when i found the transformers ones.

I know, I was trying not to laugh and think about it. He looks retarded actually.. Haha. And I know I'm going crazy with the DOTM stuff and I haven't even watched the movie yet! :oQuote:
