I like Skrapnel (not a fan of the name though), and I like Chop Shop. My only gripe is the lack of a partner-weapon (just as Skrapnel had Reflector). Okay, the weapon doesn't need to transform, but any kind of weapon would've been better than nothing. Still, it's not a deal breaker and I still like the toy on its own merit. Now let's hope that this Chop Shop does something that G1 Chop Shop never did and hit Aussie toy store shelves!

I hope that this toy does sell well and prompts Hasbro to consider releasing the rest of the Deluxe Insecticons in the Generations line, and I don't mind more redecos like this Chop Shop. Bombshell could be redecoed as as Barrage. Hasbro might consider releasing a Legends Kickback and then redeco it as Ransack. The tricky one might be Venom, as there isn't any G1 redeco potential, although he could be redecoed as Cicadacon (and the Generations line doesn't have to be all just G1, we have seen Beast Wars characters before).
