Toy Review - GEN-15 DLX Offroad (combiner)

[ProphesizedFunk]

I love the Offroad figure has to be my favourite Deluxe of the wave 2 releases.

Fantastic head sculpt, great colours, a fun transformation and so great to pose.

Finally got around to opening Offroad up today, he is AWESOME!

Fantastic figure with proper G1 Decepticon colours, matches well with the order figures and works week as an arm or a leg.

Easily my second favourite of the Stunticons, but the more I look at him and transform him, the more I like him.

I'm a fan of this guy. Goes great with the other but works really well as a stand alone figure. I love the teal limbs with the lime coloured face.

I think that Hasbro has learnt some lessons from Alpha Bravo and have done a better job with Off Road. While the alt mode colours still evoke Wildrider, the robot mode colours don't, making him look more like a distinctively new character. IMO Alpha Bravo would've been a nicer toy if he weren't so blatantly sporting Slingshot's colours. And judging from photos, it appears that they've done an even better job with Rook, whose colours don't seem to evoke any pre-existing Protectobot in either robot or alt mode. So as far as I can tell, it does seem that Hasbro are paying attention to what they're doing and trying to make improvements along the way, which is most encouraging.

I was comparing photos of Slingshot to Alphabravo, and Wildrider to Off Road, and I was thinking to myself Hasbro did a good job with making the alt-modes match their predecessors colours, while giving the bot modes distinctive colours - Off Road's chest colours and upper upper limbs.

Alpha Bravo got the short end of the stick, with his orange face, although the orange chest and grey head are quite different to Slingshot's colours - so there's still enough to differentiate the two, just not as much as with Wildrider/Off Road

Opened mine today and I like it! Gives me a big Ruckus feel to this guy more than a new character. Oh and the tfwiki says something about that too.

Well well well.

Shame that they couldnt get the name, as I like him as Ruckus and think he'd fit in to the Stunticons. Got the comic version, that doesn't feature him at all But it does have a nice bio written up. Oddly though, it mentions that the other Stunticons are hesitant to trust Off Road.

Really?
trust?
Stunticons?
Off all the teams, the Stunticons are the least stable. They all have serious emotional issue, which Motormaster uses to bully them. I doubt they ever trust any of their team mates....

Really nice toy though. These combiner wars figs are proving to be simple and fun, without being too simple.
I approve!
