Very good looking robot mode, bearing good resemblance to his appearance in the Bumblebee movie. The robot mode has "standard" articulations found on current Siege and Earthrise toys, with the only ball joint being the neck. The shoulder and hip joints are pinned/screwed, with the ankles able to be hinged inwards like the Siege and Earthrise toys. Each elbow is double jointed, and can bend close to 180 degrees.

Transformation is decent, pretty good. I managed to transform between the two modes without looking at the instructions. I would say the transformation is mostly smooth, and with (mostly) good fit and tolerance on mine.

A bit of a shame that the fighter jet mode bears little resemblance to the jet as seen in the Bumblebee movie.
