Toy Review - Studio Series Hightower

[BigTransformerTrev]

Verdict

Hightower's unique design means he won't be for everyone, but like Rampage, he will stand out on a shelf. I like him because of his unconventional design, and while he's not great as a plaything, as a display piece, he works just fine.

Obviously he's necessary if you want to make Devastator. Otherwise, he's best left to completists or people who like unusual designs.

Wow - great review mate! So much detail and tons of photos! Well done

I think its great we get the odd 'not humaniod looking' TF now and then. I'm not looking to build the new Devestator but I am looking to fill those gaps of Movieverse characters I don't have toys of yet, so looking forward to picking this weird-looking bugger up.

He is really growing on me. Little hunched up evil doctor's assistant. I don't really see the Movieverse bots as "Transformers". Too much overt evil monster in the designs. But I have come to appreciate the toys in their own right. Especially the Decepticons. And the Constructicons are coming across with real personality. Stocky grumpy Long Haul. Evil scarecrow in a trenchcoat and fedora Rampage. Only Scrapmetal is a disappointment so far for personality.
