    I really like this figure. Yeah his transformation is quite simple - and there's a few obviously "combiner" elements (I do not intend to EVER combine him)...

    ...but I like that he can both stand and sit in a G1-esque flying pose in pteradon mode - the legs and head both move to allow these options.

    I really wish that the torso was red instead of blue, but the blue torso isn't a dealbreaker either. The pteranodon head on both mine and a friend's are loose and don't lock or sit in flush - I've got mine secured with a bit of Blu Tac in the photo below.

    I got it free with an online purchase. It came with Japanese instructions and has an Autobot insignia on it. <shrugs> Pretty much the same as the stand that comes with MP Tracks only that it's clear.

    That's the stand they sell at TakaraTomy Mall. Nice freebie!

    Know where I can get one relatively cheap? Probably displaying my dinobots in dino mode.

    Mine is the same. It would have been nice if they found a way for it to tab in rather than relying on a friction joint with no friction.

    It's what's not included I find somewhat disappointing. The missile launchers. Loved 'em as a kid. Feels incomplete without 'em.
