ROBOT MODE:

Looks decent enough. They have made a good attempt at recreating Bay's head from the movie but it could use a bit more silver detail IMO. The Legs and arms are in proportion with the body which is a plus. Most of the kibble folds up nicely. Biggest downside would be the big long rail used for the "Ultimate Chest Claw of Doom" sticking out his back

VEHICLE MODE:

Quite a good representation of a truck No evidence of the robot mode even on the underside The new paint applications look really good and can easily be identified as the intended brand. Quite amusing that that used Mood Wiplash as the substitute

Note: Mood Whiplash is a Transformer-suitable beverage composed of carbonated engex with a dash of petrol.

TRANSFORMATION:

Not to difficult to transform. I was able to work it without needing to refer to the manual which only has 8 steps BTW. Kibble folds up nicely and flaps and hinges clip or lock into place easily

ARTICULATION:

Only up and down for the feet but can bend at the knees and hips can rotate. Waist can turn 360 (part of transform). Arms can rotate around at the shoulder and there is a joint at the bicep which helps with arm pose ability. The wrists can also turn 360. The Biggest let down is the head which can only turn left a right about 10 degrees.

OVERALL:

A decent repaint and a good attempt at an alternate head. IMO the plastic feels cheap though and I noticed it flexes when trying to use the Ultimate Chest Claw of Doom feature causing it to jam mid way. I don't have him with me to compare but I don't recall this issue with original mold this toy was taken from (Payload). If you liked Payload and find the Mt Dew recolour appealing or if you really want a Dispensor toy in you collection then try and pick this guy up. I'm going to give him a 7/10
