Comparison w/ TFC Bombshell


Comparing backs; as silly as having a yellow back is, I must say that combined with the silver decoes, this really does bring out the back sculpt detail well.


Complete set in robot mode (sorry for the terrible focus)


Comes with all you see here.

I understand they're different releases, It's interesting that Bombshell doesn't have the purple highlights like the other two insecticons recently released. I picked up the other two for my son, but think I'll hold out for Bombshell in the same deco. I know he'll be asking why Bombshell doesn't match the others, lol
