    I wouldn't worry too much about the two photos, photos. I'm sure Shrapnel would approve, approve.

    I was pretty excited for this one, but once in-hand I can say that Skrapnel + Reflector is a toy that really looks much better than it feels. Skrapnels poseability and balance isn't as good as most of the other legends of this line and I feel like they really missed an opportunity to make a cool targetmaster out of Reflector. It would have been awesome if they focused on making Reflector something you could hold the right way up as a camera instead of sacrificing that to enable him to become an electric cattle-prod/the-stick-elderly-people-use-to-grab-things-off-shelves.

    Weakest figure from this line so far, but certainly not bad. Easily worth the US RRP, but do not pay more than $20 after shipping for him.

    Transformation is fiddly as stated, nothing complex, and both modes looks alright, but that is all. He just does not have the presence or sculpt of Swerve or Cosmos to make it more interesting.

    you're funny, funny.

    I quite like it, my biggest frustration was the side legs transformation being very stiff, making it a little scary to transform.

    as with the rest of this line, I think the US pricing is fine, more than $20 AU is pushing it though, they are not deluxes by any stretch of the imagination.

    I can't wait to get this guy. Along with Arcee and Gears, he's one of the most anticipated figures in my POL. Now hurry up Arcee, Brainstorm, Swerve and Cosmos and drop into my POL.

    I quite like it. Reflector, as with all the targetmasters of this line, are a bit of a joke but for what I paid (BBTS price), it was worth it. Eagerly awaiting the others

    Mine's the same, but I find it fine as long as I'm applying pressure as close to the hinge as possible.

    Quite like the figure, only bit of nit-picking would be the gaping hole used to represent his insect mouth in alt mode. Really like the combined alt mode with Reflector on his insect back

    Received Skrapnel and Reflector today. My least favourite insecticon, he's nearly perfect. Both modes are nice and the GEEWUN shines brightly. Reflector is really nice as well, forming a solid camera that is currently being held by my Masterpiece Thundercracker.

    Bring on Bombshell and Kickback.
