Robot Mode
The most faithful rendition of how he looked in the Beast Machines cartoon we’ve had from a figure to date. Lots of nice little details on the chest and he has his signature claw hands, tank tread feet, forearm spinning blades and shoulder mounted rocket launcher. Very squat and overall rather small but still quite good.

Cybertronian Tank Mode
Na, not flash. Looks pretty crap from the sides with exposed thighs etc (kinda like WW Grimlock), in fact you have to position him several ways until you get an angle that he looks half decent in. Too low and flat for my liking. Good colours though.

Transformation
Very easy and simple. The instructions aren’t 100% clear on how his arms & shoulders are supposed to fold up to become a tank but it’s easily figured out and takes less than 10 seconds to transform back. A bit too simple for a deluxe in my humble opinion.

Free Comic
Don’t know what went wrong here but when I was reading it last night I realized the pages were all out of order! That sort of thing should have been sorted out before it was shipped out.

Overall
If it wasn’t for the confusing comic I would say this is the perfect figure for 5 to 10 year old boys as it’s simple, turns into a tank and has a very er… robotic looking robot mode. Personally I really liked the (Mega) Tankor toy from BM, I thought that was a great figure with its opening and closing claws and rotating blades at the front, the generations version is certainly a significant step down from it in every respect. Not bad with its cartoon faithful robot mode but really not great.
