I just my in today and i got to say the box pretty cool , the printing is nice and shining has a lot of chrome as i was just expecting a black and white box from all the preview picture... My first impression of the figure is that in car mode straight out of the box i can see that on the left side the doors doesn't line up properly having a large gapbut the right side was perfect ....upon closer inspection after transformation i found out that the black join arm has a runner mark that when sanded down it was fixed and now line up nicely.
Onto the paint job ... they actually painted the whole figure with yellow ..even the yellow plastic bit they painted over as well which was nice to see , but where the side widow are on my it need an extra coat as it slightly dull then the restof the body ... i also had a few( 3) dust dot on the paint job as well... After the GT series they have no excuses for poor paint job i reckon... This figure need at least one more coat of yellow paint and it would have been perfect...
His face is different from Sideswipe , been that the eyes are larger ,Sideswipe one comes to a point ...his pile drivers (screw driver on the instruction) is in nasty black plastic and his shoulder cannon is painted in black but other wise the same as Sideswipe one.. Also a mention is that his bio card is printed too dark and have a very slight blurry making it look like a KO , should of printed it like the box and it would have been so good!
Is he worth buying ? ... Well he exactly the same as Sideswipe but in yellow minus the squinting eyes .... So if you like this mold then for sure as they look good together in car mode
