Deceptic_Optics: I too adore the creepy bot modes of the constructicons. Demolishor just had those gaps that made him look so incomplete, but in person he is a lot better than I imagined.

I love Mixmaster. He's a bit of a shellformer, which to me is the only negative with this figure. The alt mode is pretty darn good with great detail right down to the little slide tube for the cement to pour out to. The bot mode is just gorgeous with numerous amounts of articulation soy ou can pose him in very creepy ways. Although the arm kibble is annoying and gets in the way. The biggest annoyance with Mixmaster is the assembly error. They put one of the articulated joints on the wrong way and, in turn, makes him look like he has a nappy. I've tried to punch out the pin with a nail and hammer but I got nowhere. Certainly a great figure.


Firecracker: Green Megs or Crabitron is not too bad at all and is worth considering. His alt mode is very crab like and is just passable. Conversion is relatively simple and he's pretty much a shellformer. His bot mode is the real winner though with a great sculpt, a geared snap out pincer thing on his right arm and a head mould worthy of the great decepticon leader. The articulation on the arms, ball jointed head and swivelling hips allow for some great poses. Although his legs could have done with a few more articulation. The shell back pack actually adds a nice menacing spiked back look or if you fold down the top fins, almost mimics his original movie wings. The green scheme is an odd choice although he does have some silver paint to highlight his jointed areas. His mechalive gimmick are some spinning gears inside his torso (seen thru his armor cracks) when swivelled around.

I like him. Much more appealing than the leader version.
