Toy Review: Generations Brainstorm

[Paulbot]

Santa's elves at BBTS delivered me one of these for this morning. He looks fantastic in robot mode, like a Milne drawing has stepped right off the page. His arms seem super poseable, a side effect/bonus of the transformation, and it makes him more expressive. Such a great robot mode, which is a good thing because I'm not sure I should transform him. I've read the stories of the tight connection and they aren't wrong. When I saw Arcanna's head look like it was going to come off I decided he'll be a robot for a bit longer.

IIRC, you have to lever out the head with something thin.

Cant wait to get him. I've ordered the Legends version.

I got his head off but it was a scary moment. I've not tried putting it back in yet, maybe I need to file the connector down first just in case? His vehicle mode is alright but this is a bot that shines in robot mode.

Mine arrived yesterday, first thoughts: he's big.

Really big for a voyager, taller than Classics Prime, Jetfire and Universe Inferno. Towers over the two fembots that arrived at the same time

Simplistic transformation, probably why they could make him so large, but an awesome bot mode, really close to his comic form which is why I bought him.

Colour me satisfied.

Great review M-bot! There is nothing really I can add because I agree with everything you said

Really glad to have this figure as I don't have the G1 version of him and always wanted to represent the character, especially since his starring role in the MTMTE comics. He looks great and a great size too! For some reason I also really like his landing gear in that it looks more like the strut off a spaceship rather than the landing wheel of a jet.

I've found Arcana pretty easy to attach and detach - don't know why mine is so easy to do when other folks are having trouble with theirs. Probably a factory glitch that worked in my favor I do however have trouble getting him to sit right in the cockpit so that you can close it.

Overall really good! Very pleased to have this figure

Trev, I guess I must be even luckier than you, as I e got no problem detaching Arcana or having him sit in the cockpit. You just have to remember to flip the tech specs back up.
