    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.

    I got the TT version in the mail today. I'd love to have a look at a Hasbro version to compare the Headmaster port. I have no issue inserting Arcanna's head all the way into the port on Brainstorm and then removing him by pulling up and forwards.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.
