I got that toy a few months ago. Sadly, I got tired of the mold pretty quickly. The alt mode is unusual, but the transformation and robot mode are nothing to write home about imo. A bit too generic.

I love him, the Alt mode is good, the scuba outfit, while strange on a robot is good, and he's fun to play with.

I dunno seing it in person is like...made me pass on him, I had him in my hand but in the shelves back he goes.

I'm in a battle at the moment. Ulladulla toyworld has him but I don't know if I can pay $55 for him.... Ooooh but I wants my precious so bad

I put one on lay-by last night. The first time I've ever put a Transformer on lay-buy since 1987 (Headmaster Horrorcons)!!

The most disappointing thing when I saw the toy was that name tag... I think it might have been jaydisc who posted an image (or link to image) of HFTD SeaspraySea Spray with the photoshopped "Hi, my name is RAY" name tag. Cos it really DOES look like that!! (OoO)

Personally I'm classifying this toy as movieverse cos HFTD seems to be part of the movieverse line (haven't seen it on other toys like PCCs).

A bit too generic.

I think you just managed to put all my issues with this toy into one word. Like Jaydisc, the scuba gear is one of the main gripes I have with it too.

A TF with flippers and scuba mask is the cutest thing ever and the alt mode is gorgeous. Straight to the classics shelf next to Inferno.

Totally agree. Love this figure

Heh yeah... it reminds me of some Beast Wars (esp. BW Neo) and Car Robot (RiD) toys whose robot modes had some "theme" correlating to their alt modes.

e.g. Break's head has a beak-like crest and white feathers like a penguin, Mach Alert (RiD Prowl)'s head is streamlined and has a spoiler like a lamborghini, Big Convoy has two large protrusions like the tusks on a mammoth et al.

So yeah, I think it's cute.
