PROS
- A beautiful looking figure. Sharply painted in bright colours. Really pops in both modes. Almost has a 'just stepped off the screen' look to it.
- Fun, if unimaginative, accessories. The two shoulder cannons can be used as pistols.
- Great use of kibble on the robot mode. In an age where more and more car transformers are basically robot men balled up under a cape of car bits, I've really enjoyed this figure. The only kibble that ends up on the back of the robot mode is the front half of the roof, and the windscreen. It produces a really clean looking robot mode.
- Great stability, and great poseability..
CONS
- A few too many things rely on friction. The feet rely on friction to lock into place. Not an issue on mine out of the box, but might become so in the long term?
- Shoulder tabs a bit weak. Not a massive problem, but it just means that they don't 'lock' in place.
- Paint chipping might be an issue in the long term, especially on the hood and roof.
SUMMARY
- A nice, fun, solid figure. A genuine delight.
