Comparison with the Legends Class figure...


In relative terms I find the Legends figure to be superior. It has a nicer vehicle mode both in terms of look with the additional boom and playability with both an extended claw and hook. SS Hightower only comes with a retracted hook that's prone to detaching, whereas detaching the clips on Legends Hightower for the purposes of transformation requires some force; easily doable but not so easy that you would accidentally detach it (and risk losing parts). The robot mode is also much more accurate to the movie design. And of course Legends Hightower is basically a $7 that can also still combine, so in that sense I find that it's still superior value for money than the SS figure.
