Also got him on sale (the Henkei one), because it was on sale
I wasn't really expecting much due to bad reviews and the overdone chrome on the turret (but still prefer this over Universe's orange). Turned out he came with more chrome than I though! He also have chrome on the tank side/backpack!
Surprisingly though, the chrome don't annoy me that much in person for some reason, maybe because it reflect the surrounding and as such is much "darker" and discreet than a white lightbox used in photo shoot.
The toy itself surprised me too. He was quite hard to transform at first following the instruction, splitting the turret to raise the canon was impossible and wondered "wtf do I need to do" for a good 5-10 min. I transformed the rest of the firgure, and next problem was locking his canon shoulder in place. This again seemed impossible, and took way too much forces to finally fold the hinge and lock it in place. After a few transformation it,s starting to be easier, but still require much strengh. Also the other shoulder and the backpack pieces pop off from time to time when not carefull (especially the shoulder).
Despite all that, I quite enjoy this toy! I really like the look of the robot mode, and the tank isn't too shabby either, but isn't as sturdy as I'd want. I was plannig to get a Universe Galvatron to switch the chrome piece, and might do it if stumble on a cheap one, but the chrome isn't as bad in person and I can live with it (on this figure).
Due to my low expectation of the figure, this one is a surprisingly good figure for me, definitly don't regret getting it, especialy at the price!
