When I first saw the video reviews of this guy, I was disappointed since it looked to be another Universe Silverbolt/Darkwind/Skyfall (i.e. robot tucked underneath a jet).

After receiving it a few weeks ago when my RK order came through, he's actually not that bad and I actually don't mind him even though his transformation is pretty much as I mentioned above.

He displays well in bot mode and my only gripe about him is that he's a little bit shorter than most of the other Generation deluxes - however, you can cheat a bit and make him slightly taller by not putting his feet flat (Classics Jetfire style feet design).

I like also how his guns can combine to form one big gun - his detachable 'drone' on the nose of the jet is pretty useless in my opinion - would have been cooler if it actually turned into a mini con or another weapon or something.

One thing I have noticed (as well as a few other people) is that his vertical fins/wings on the back of the jet mode seemed to be attached too tightly or the pins are slightly too big for the hole as there are plastic stress marks forming on the edge of them.

Overall, I'd probably give this guy a 8.5/10 - definite must buy (even for those people like me who had no idea who Thunderwing was)
