The body and weapons are modelled after the original Shadow Striker (repaint/retool of Speedbreaker), with the head and overall colour scheme being an homage to Cyberverse Shadow Striker. The bonnet panels have a low tolerance and required quite a bit of panel massaging to get them to sit flush. The shoulders have a weird design where they allow the arms to either swing up and down or side to side, but not both at once. You have to reconfigure the shoulders if you want to toggle between moving the arms sideways or frontways. Not only is this inconvenient for posing, but it also becomes a significant impediment during toy play. And given than play is the core function of a toy, I would have to say that this toy isn't worth getting. This toy is likely a pre-tool for an upcoming Generations RiD Side Burn (w/ a potential Universe Roulette & Shadow Striker redecos); but unless they fix these shoulders, any redeco of this toy will inherit the flawed shoulder design.
