Reveal the Shield Turbo Tracks

Red leader · 10-09-2010, 01:02 PM

Couldnt resist as total sucker for G1 so nabbed this off ebay - super nice figure if your a geewuner, okay figure if your not.

Transformation is nice and simple much like the original, boot flips up and arms fold out, legs pull down and flip round at the waist, the head and shoulders extend out of the body via a little automorph gimmick where you push the roof top upwards. The wings fold out of the door panels therefore no flight mode for tracks, the missiles also unclip from under the door and clip back onto the shoulder mounts.

Articulation is good, knees and hips dont have much range of movement and the bulky upper body stops the arms crossing over the chest area, all said though its a solid 6/10 and a worthy addition to your modern G1 collection.

Can't wait for him. Looks absolutely amazing!

Wow, I think you just made me want this.

Nice! Like the better pictures.

The car looks 200% better here than any of the previous looks I've seen. Thanks for the pics man.

Just a 6/10? Ouch. Seems kind of harsh. From what I've seen (and now heard), I think the biggest disappointment is no car flight mode. Other than that, I think he looks great. Not sure what else there is to complain about.

EDIT: I don't understand all the fuss about the "backpack." I think it's a nice nod to the original figure. It has a very similar feature.

Yep, glad I got this guy preordered. He's looking great!
