NOTE: This toy is a repaint of Legacy Road Rocket. Refer to the Legacy Road Rocket review thread for comments about the original toy; this thread will focus on changes made.













Obscure reference aside, this toy doesn't really offer anything that Legacy Road Rocket doesn't already deliver. And I think that Road Rocket is much nicer looking toy with a superior name/persona. I guess Hasbro didn't want to call this toy "Autobot Jazz" since they've released Fire Guts Dorito Jazz in the same assortment. But "Laser Cycle" is just so lazy. Having said that, in my head canon Laser Cycle is a generic Autobot trooper rather than an individual character.

Somewhat recommended if this deco or character interests you, but otherwise it's unlikely to do anything for you that Legacy Arcee, Road Rocket and/or Erial don't already do. She does also look like she's barracking for the Matlidas though.

I suspect this one will end up in the discount bin... so I might pick it up then, only because of Goktimus's reference to the Aussie-ness of the green and gold

Occurs to me it could be repurposed as a Legacy Ransack GTS
