The shoulders have limited movement, and has a huge backpack of kibble, making it very back-heavy and overbalanced. But, since I prefer quicker, playable "toys", I prefer this one over any of the larger versions. Recommended, even if you have the larger ones, as those can be for display, while this one can be for play.
The packaging shows the cannon in vehicle mode sitting on the back, which can only point upwards... I think it looks better having the two cannon halves plugged into the sides of the vehicle.
