    I really like this guy. Sure his transformaton is simpler than most movie deluxes, but it's no worse than most Cybertron or Energon deluxes (actually, more complex than a few Energon toys).

    I like how the missilerack transforms into over-shoulder racks without the need to remove his missiles. I also like how the missilerack is targetable and rotates through 180°.

    yeah i thought he looked better in online pics too.

    he's missing 8 Spring loaded missles. I think that would have made it fun for me.

    I like this little bloke, the headscuplt is much better in person than photos depicted, I think the colouring is a little off, but a little paint and removal of the dodgy snow camo should make him look top of the line. I like his simple transformation its solid and you don't feel like you are going to break anything moving his parts around.

    I like this toy even less now that I've played with my own. The vehicle mode just doesn't seem to lock together in a few places, and the istructions didn't suggest that it is supposed to.

    instrustions are always lacking. as far as i can see, his shoulders at the back lock into the rear of the treads and his legs clip into the front of the treads.

    i like to keep him in alt mode and slot him onto the back of seaspray.

    the thing i dislike most is his arms they're just designed funny.

    I like him. He's got an ape like menace about him - you can even pose him with his knuckles on the floor with a reasonable degree of success. He reminds me of whatever the Gorilla Zoids were called.
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.
