Overall thoughts
* Core toy is fantastic
* Spaceship mode is actually really cool, and I initially thought nothing of it (I was expecting to not care about it at all)
* Spaceship mode can be inverted to approximate a gun mode, although the handle is way too small to be held
* Amazing light piping in both robot and spaceship modes
* Try-hard battle damage is minimal and not too visually intrusive
* There are shared engineering features with MP Laserwave, particularly with how the gun barrel is connected by an articulated arm
* This is basically a Voyager sized toy that comes with its own 1st Party add-on kit. Objectively speaking it's not really worth full Leader RRP but definitely worth it if you can get it at below RRP (say for about $70~80 or less)

Price aside, just a really nice figure

But in answer to the poll question in terms of being worth buying, I'm gonna have to say Only if below RRP.
