    I have to echo other people's comments that the robot mode should have had some colour, especially since the robot parts are hidden under the jet, so it wouldn't ruin the jet mode having some contrasting colours to the off-white jet mode. It just looks a little boring.
    With Gigawatt having that awful windscreen, and Maverick lacking colour... Ectotron remains a class above these other crossover toys.

    Nice to see that this one is officially licensed from the aircraft maker. I don't think Hasbro did that with Gigawatt though.
    I feel like they could've easily added paint to the underside of the wings and that would've really helped the robot mode. Paint on the guns would also have been nice since I imagine they store underneath.

    Definitely seems like Hasbro was unable to get a licensing deal with DMC for Gigawatt as it doesn't have the logo on the front of the car, presumably because another toy manufacturer has an exclusive deal already or were demanding too much money. Bit of a shame since we've been able to get officially licensed Cadillac with Ectotron and now Grumman Northrop F-14 with Maverick.

    You can really see the difference when you compare the press releases. The Maverick one mentions Northrop and Grumman multiple times while the Gigawatt one doesn't mention DMC or Delorean at all, instead having to refer to him as car and time machine.
