I have now had the opportunity to play with the figure, and absolutely love him. He?s a really simple transformation (which won?t make everyone happy), but its still really fun and I love the added extra of a dagger/sword weapon. Unfortunately we?re probably unlikely to see this released at Australian retail being the tail end of the Earthrise line...... and even if we did, I could see it becoming hard to find as people try to army build them. I really love him though and will have to track another one or two down, as well as some sharkticons.
