Better late than never?
Also, poll please!








PROS:
+ as Skyfire and reillyd have said, the transformation is straightforward and intuitive.
+ very G1-esque aesthetics in both modes
+ the robot mode, while homaging Michael Knight, doesn't try to outright look like him. I personally dislike crossover/collab TFs that try too hard to make the robots look like the characters. Agent Knight actually looks like a Cybertronian.
+ I appreciate how the sound gimmick is housed in the front of the bonnet. Sure, it's also because it's part of the same electronic gimmick as the red light, but it does make the sound block relatively unobtrusive (compared to housing it inside the torso). Sound gimmicks are always challenging because the speaker will always form a block that can't be concealed (unless you got MP Convoy 3.0 level). Yes, it does make the chest protrude more, but that just adds to the 80s charm of the overall character design.
CONS:
- unless I've missed something, the roof panel has nowhere to lock into place on the back. It just hangs there at an awkward angle. I've watched a few video reviews and haven't seen any other solution.
- the arms are prone to popping off at the shoulders, although they are easy enough to pop back on.
- the wrist communicator thing doesn't seem to have any storage in car mode.
Also, note that batteries are not included with this toy. The good thing about this is that there's no risk of battery leakage for you sealed collectors. The downside is that you have to buy them separately, and the small watch batteries that this toy uses are not cheap! They cost $10 for a pack of 2, and since this toy needs 3 batteries, I had to buy two 2-packs for $20. Not breaking the bank, but it does mean that the overall cost of this toy plus batteries (unless you already have some) is $115~120.
