- Motto: ""Excessive force is not necessary.""
I just got him yesterday and I can honestly say that I like him. I feel satisfied with the purchase, as opposed to when I bought UB ( even at half off it was a disappointing train-wreck of a figure, like Supreme Cheetor! ).
I'm glad to see that they corrected the loose knee joint issue we saw in the video review earlier. The knees are extremely tight. The proportions and accuracy are well done, and the electronic gimmicks are cool, a feat that UB could not even accomplish with robotic movement added.
The only thing that would have made this figure perfect in my opinion is if they hadn't made the left arm monkey-style with the palm aligned with the forearm. If it had to be that way, they might at least have added enough articulation to the hand to allow him to make a fist. As it is, the poseability options of the arm are limited to "karate-chop" and "Hey buddy, can ya spare some energon?" Of course, the HA version suffered from this too.
Apart from that one gripe, an overall great figure with a lot of nice features.
