Revenge of the Fallen Breakaway

Picked him up on impulse when i was out today.


First off,

i am a seeker guy who's gotta get'em all.

First impressions were that the Alt mode looked pretty good with some underbelly kibble but not Superion bad.





Colors are a desert camo with those fugly Tattoo's.

Bot mode is basically FAIL with the execution.






A few simple retools and the large amount of kibble would have been manageable.

The backpack just sits there without and folding or shrinking.

The execution of the chest/head/nosecone was a bad idea that destroys any chance of neck or head movement.

On the plus side the legs are very good and offer a good deal of poses.

The arms are another plus with the movement and elbow joints.



Overall feeling is Avoid this figure unless you are a seeker guy or a completionist.

For the Radicons there is a lot of things that can be done to improve the mold if up to the challenge.

Comparisons with Smokescreen(A awesome repaint)


Gallery up later with comparisons.

I like his design. He will be one of the first I pick up. Darker colors would have been better, but it's no big deal.

Thanks to SmokescreenGT for the sig!

So he looks cool and has good arm and leg execution.

I'm failing to see the fail.

I passed this one up and seeing this review makes me kinda glad I did. I am not digging the Wheelie peek-a-boo head and backpack.

I saw both this and a darker color one at the target near me.

Had they made the legs and feet just a little skinnier it could have been one of the few jet transformers with no under carriage kibble, its close though, I really hate those feet on a transformer with a sleek altmode.

Like you said, he has great arm and leg articulation to go along with it.

There's not much I like on that figure, and it stands on gorilla feet.

How the Animated toy line REALLY came to an end
