Too tired to write a proper review, so this is just a some comments...

Overall I'm really disappointed with this toy. There are a few clever parts with the transformation in regards to how some panels fold up, but overall I prefer the original ROTF Deluxe over this. The weapon mount on the roof is clever -- rather than just having holes on the roof like G2, there are small panels which automatically spring up and "cover" the holes when the weapon isn't plugged in. That was a pleasant surprise.

But overall there's not enough redeeming features for me to recommend this toy... I'm gonna see if I can bring it back and exchange it for a toy of equal value. :/ And I heard the Twins aren't even appearing in the DOTM film anyway... bah.

Only recommended if you're a completist... otherwise just steer clear of this otherwise lacklustre toy.

Unless I can't get an exchange then I highly recommend it when you see me selling it!! (prolly for $23)
