Toy Review - UW Groove

[Deonasis]

They did a marvellous job on this guy but I have no real attachment to Groove (on his own) and as such I find the robot mode pretty plain looking. Still, as a motorcycle or leg this guy rocks!

Trev: I have not seen the silver guns sticking out like that in bike mode before, you do know they can sit flush beside the rear wheel?

I really love Groove as a character, but I'm happy enough with my Hasbro one. But I am really looking forward to getting this base mould as CW Afterburner. And as a fan of the character, I find it somewhat ironic that he comes with a pair of huge guns. Unless they're stun guns. And a pair of Gatling nerf cannons.

They probably fire sunflowers and lentil soup.

Really hoping that Hasbro release this & Blast Off. Nice work Trev!

Nice Review Trev.

I'm very happy with mine but I only got the UW Defensor set. I couldn't justify doubling up the rest of the figures.

^Did you mean CW?

Heheh. If I had this toy I would imagine the guns firing either something like immobilising goop, maybe like this.

I think he meant he only got the UW box set, not the CW single releases as well.

I'd imagine Groove would fire some sort of electro-stun type weapon, kind of like the immobilisers used in the original IDW ongoing.

Nice Review Trev.

Really hoping that Hasbro release this & Blast Off. Nice work Trev!

Cheers guys

They can indeed which makes the lights stick up which actually looks pretty good. Only thing is it makes him look like he's gonna shoot himself in the engine block

Took some pics yonks ago for a review of this guy but then got too lazy to create a thread. Cheers Trev!






Sadly bot mode is his weakest mode, not to say it sucks because it easily beats many of the other CW bot modes. They went a bit too yellow for the face for my liking and the bronze paint apps somehow come off as a little cheap and incomplete.

His strongest mode is actually as a combiner limb! The front end of the bike is a piece of art and he's properly proportioned and solid enough to be a convincing leg. I'd say he's the best combiner limb so far.
