Overall Thoughts
A very nice "Poor Man's Masterpiece," which I always mean as a compliment to a toy.I really love the way that the legs transform into the sides and headlights of the car; a nice homage to G1 Brawn's transformation. The way that the front grill is completely concealed in robot mode is also quite clever. This kind of attention to detail is something I'm more used to seeing on Masterpiece toys. My Brawn's head cannot turn though, but I think I got a dud.
I've watched two video reviews and I can see that the head can turn, although it's tight; so yeah, I think I got unlucky with the QC.
