    Watch Peaughs video review of the toy, he's usually spot on in his reviews. The one he got was made of cheap plastic, had massive shoulder kibble problems, breakage issues with the back/calve windows, and Jolt just plain wouldn't stand.

    Maybe Armada Hot Shot didn't have the best articulation, but he sure was loaded with fun gimmicks...

    -Jolt... chopper/robot that could carry his engine, drop it into place to activate the saw blades or transformation
    -Jolt could combine with Hot Shot to make him fly in both mode
    -Jolt could activate the ingenious axle-zooka, probably the most original and cool weapon to ever grace a Transformer
    -flip down tire visor

    And seriously, the bot is still decently poseable compared to Energon Wing Saber or Armada Overload (2 toys I like too). And to me, he doesn't look any less or any more cartoony than Animated Bumblebee. Fun chunky toy!

    Woah, a BAD Rider boy we'd got there. :drunk 

    Now I'm really looking forward to seeing more of the Armada pieces revived into Universe line. (New sculpts of course!) :thumbs2:
