Quick thoughts:

+ A reasonably decent figure for a Legions class. Unlike the Deluxe class toy it actually has an INSIGNIA tampographed on his chest! The vehicle mode also has a proper front and not a massive hole like on the Deluxe. Kinda sad when a Deluxe gets outclassed by a Legion Class figure in some areas.

+ The vehicle is rather mediocre. It does look fairly show-like, I'll give it that, although a tad too many reds and transparent blues... colourwise there's just too much happening. This is a case of "less is better."

+ There are several 3mm and 5mm ports to plug in weapons. There's a 3mm port right in front of the cockpit which means that when there's a weapon plugged in, it obstructs the cockpit from fully opening. That's pretty strange.

+ The LED gimmick is stupid. It works pretty much like the TFPRiD Voyagers... in other words, it doesn't. In theory the clear parts on the Star Hammer and on the Commanders are meant to light pipe the LED, but in reality, it doesn't. Man... you'd think Hasbro would've learnt to either improve this gimmick or abandon it after it failed to work on the Voyagers. Thankfully the wire can be pushed inside the ship so that it's not dangling (and looks unsightly). Oh yeah, the LED is joined to a wire to the ship, so if you attach it to a Commander figure, he has to stay close to the ship!! "Here! This will power you up! But don't go too far away!"


The Legion class figure is nice, but not worth purchasing the playset just for the figure. I'd only recommend this toy if you're interest in having a toy of the Jackhammer/Star Hammer. Otherwise just stick with the Deluxe.
