This is your first review that I would actually have to disagree with you on. I love this toy. I can understand how one would not like the "over-long arms and tiny chicken legs" but I think that is what makes him so menacing which is how a Decepticon should look.

It's a very simple but clever transformation and he looks fantastic standing next to legends Sideswipe. My third favourite legends class toy behind Wheelie and Optimus.

I would have given him at least an 8.
