Feeli like I've had enough time to mess about with him to form a good opinion on him.
Man, this is a great toy! AS I said before, I got the Legends version of Hardhead and while I was in two minds about how I'd feel about the head having the mouth, I really like the mouth over the masked version. Which is odd, as I have the G1 toy and thought the head sculpt was great.
I initially skipped him as I thought the tanks wasn't tanky enough, but as others have said, he is more like a mobile artillery vehicle and I like that definition. Especially since his firepower isn't over the moon. I kind of see him as a Batmobile sort of vehicle now, fast, armoured and has some decent blammo to him, but when compared to say warpath, or Brawl, he loses out on power but makes up in speed.
The thing that pushed me to get this guy despite my reservations on the vehicle mode were the shots of the robot mode. His root mode just looks so good! I do wish he came with two rifles though.
I much prefer TTs colours too. While I complained about it in my review, the elbow beige breaks up the arms rather nicely and the consistent thigh colour avoids him looking like he's running around in a pair of boxer briefs. Which I can't unsee after Gok's photo!
If all the deluxes are up to this standard, it's gonna be hard to resist them!
My blog review with a LOT of pictures. I got soooo carried away!
