    Just popped a review up on my blog of this guy, along with Rook.

    I think First Aid (and the Off Road mold)is one of the most fun Transformers Hasbro has put out in ages. Looks great in all modes, has a simple transformation, but the articulation does not suffer for it.

    Great work Hasbro.

    Are his feet annoying? Offroad's great since he's got such great proportions, I can't tell from the pics if Firstaid suffers from his heels.

    Also how is his hips in general? Kinda loose? And what about the feet connectors, my Offroad's feet like to come apart if messed with.

    Thanks.

    So Streetwise comes with#33, Rook comes with#34 and First Aid comes with#36. I assume Blades comes with#35?

    The head is in the likeness of IDW First Aid! :) 


    No idea bro. I haven't even opened up the others yet. The reason I opened First Aid is bcoz I wanted to display him with the rest of my Lost Light chug figures ha ha.

    Nope his feet isn't annoying & it's fairly stable in any poses. Also it won't come apart easily like your Offroad. Also his hips is very tight on mine.

    I have an issue where I can't quite get the legs all pegged in whilst First Aid is in vehicle mode. They either peg into the back/top of the figure and split down the middle, or they peg together left and right but don't quite line up at the top. It's only mildly annoying, but I have no idea how to fix it.

    I just got my First Aid tonight, and I noticed the same thing... the legs wouldn't stay totally pegged in once the arms are in place for vehicle mode. The solution was simple - make sure the front and back halves of his thighs are snapped in side to side BEFORE you close them. Now First Aid has no gap at the back of his vehicle mode/leg mode/lower arm mode.

    Hope this helps.

    The hips on mine are fine, and the feet are also great. Seem to hold him up extremely well, mostly due to the size making him really stable

    I think it does too. First Aid's alt mode seems to make Offroad's look quite bare, similarly to Trailbreaker and Hoist.

    Actually, found mine un the wild amazing toy, for some reason I really remember him a lot from the show, the one where he refuses to be a limb and the one where he helps the guys daughter walk and her dad hates her.

    He feels great, even though it's white plastic it feels as thick and bulky as Offroad does, I had a shoulder pad on mine pop off but it went on fine and was just off the notch a little the paint is super nice, the head had a slightly missed white spot on the tiny corner I touched up.

    I haven't read all the IDW but I knew I wanted some "doctor" tools for him, aside from his diagnostic axe.

    These are from an old Blox Unenlagia Zoid they work great, they can sit in his legs too, not in car mode though.

    Are his eyes a different shade of blue from Alpha Bravo's? I like both their visor-style eyes but there aren't many good shots of First Aid's.

    Got this guy a couple days ago. First Aid has always been one of kt favorite Transformers characters since I first learned of him. Between that and the abaolutelty gorgeous scultping on this figure I'd say it's my favorite for all of 2015.

    Got him a few weeks ago with the other 3 Protectobots. I love him,hes just awesome. I love the retooling of him from Offroad. I love that head sculpt,just very G1. I was having so much fun with I had to put in the Ultimate Weapon episode to get some more First Aid love. Hes just a great solid figure. I would preferred some actual medical tools instead of an Axe like some others have said as well.

    Him and Streetwise are my favorite 2 Protectobots right now. I still have to find Hotspot,so I cant wait to make First Aid an arm like back in the day.

    Mine has some extra flash on the tab that connects the legs to the cab, and there is flash in the hole as well. Guess I've got some work to do. Oh well. If a kid had mine it would probably be broken by now.
