Well this is one that I eagerly anticipated when I first saw it and thought it looks awesome in both alt and robot mode.

I don't have it yet, but based on the time spent playing with one in person (at the last Parra fair meet up), I still would grab it despite the paint apps not looking as pretty as the initial promo shots.

If I remember correctly, the transformation process from his alt mode to robot is fairly straight forward with the exception of his legs/hips, which is quite fiddly and took a bit of time to figure out (without referring to the instructions) - as Kup can attest to!

Bludgeon is also a bit small for a Voyager sized toy and the plastics used for his blades/swords is quite soft so it warps easy, giving them a flaccid bent look.

Besides these points, I think overall, it is quite a nice toy and a worthwhile addition to your collection - more suitable for your Classics/Universe shelf rather than to go with the Movie toys.

IMHO, overall I think he's worth giving an 8.5/10 - minus half a point each for lack of size, cheap plastics and paint apps.
