I like the alt mode in the comics better, but it's all water under the bridge now.

I bought mine for 125, but I would have paid 150, no issues.<br /><br />I think its always possible to nitpick, but what’s more important is to weight the good against the bad points. And in this case, I can say that the good points far outweigh the bad (in my opinion).

Like I said, this one blows many a third party toy out of the water – perhaps the only one that can stay in the water with it is FT’s Quakewave. The transformation is ingenious, especially for the large G1 FM head – how it folds into a head, which parts of the robot is used to make up and compose it into a head. It’s amazing.<br /><br />Heroic Decepticonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017245701029351849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-38051280490486242942014-03-21T13:33:18.064+08:002014-03-21T13:33:18.064+08:00So I take it you bought the figure?

In fact, I think its even better than FP’s designs, which most of the time is very difficult to transform or figure out (don’t get me wrong, FP designs are ingenious, but just a pain to transform Heroic Decepticonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017245701029351849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-41624802711566095712014-03-21T07:23:54.748+08:002014-03-21T07:23:54.748+08:00I also own this and for the most part would agree ...I also own this and for the most part would agree that the figure is incredible. If I have to nitpick about the robot mode or rather the super robot mode (with treads at the back), it's that the proportion is a little bit off from the comic i.e. the treads here can make his body seems small. I think he is worth 150 if you have a G1 Fort Max, because his tank mode is laughable especially with Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-37444983345039193172014-03-21T05:37:48.547+08:002014-03-21T05:37:48.547+08:00This is an incredible figure in hand, I had zero i...This is an incredible figure in hand, I had zero interest until I held it up close a few months back, and I was genuinely spellbound. It was a day full of new toys; Smart Robin, Gen Whirl etc, but this eclipsed them all.

While the robot mode looks awesome, the tank mode looks like a brick, and the G1 head mode is pretty superfluous to the IDW character. Even still, I would have picked him up but for the hefty $150 USD pricetag. <br /><br />If I ever find him discounted closer to $100 I might pull the trigger.
