    I wouldn't mind that at all, but I also like the figure a lot how it is.

    VERY good. Besides some flash here and there, I would say 99% on quality as all my other HAs.

    Yeaa....Im in the camp that this is one of the most impressive ive ever had.

    Glad to see that you enjoy it and that the quality's good. I just ordered mine yesterday and hopefully it'll arrive before my birthday next Friday.


    For anyone else, how does he scale in car mode compared to a movie deluxe? I don't normally buy the larger Human Alliance toys, but I wouldn't mind this one if the car mode isn't that large. I saw him compared to a deluxe Rodimus in a video review, but I don't have that figure.

    he is a bit smaller than regular HAs. But he is still big for a deluxe..but lemme tell ya..Battle Blade Bee is a big deluxe..and on my shelf I have that bee on his knees in front of soundwave..and it looks PERFECT to me.

    They are close to a good match. Certainly closer than HA BB with HA Soundwave.

    Yes he is one of the better figures in an absolutely incredible line. (Although I painted mine pretty much straight out of the box years ago)

    This guy remains one of my favorite figures of all time. An imposing, movie accurate bot mode that converts to a car with working gullwing doors. AND it can fit mini figures! All mega bloks figures work with human alliance, so i like to have my Terminator minifigs work with the decepticons.

    Bro nearly everyone talking trash about this mold doesnt even own it, especially those saying the average looking deluxe is better. To this day this remains one of my favorite tfs. Very screen accurate, imposing, AND functioning gullwing doors. Sooo badass. I have my terminator mega blok figs riding him

    Yeah just the other day I got mine out to transform a bit and I still love it so much. Man, wish I had the money back when the mtb version popped up because it was incredible too. Plus the transformation is a dream, everything goes into place nice and tight.

    Ive found thisnto be a surprisingly polarizing figure. To me it's a clear winner with only two real flas, being the paint on the initial release and the legs not being super accurate.

    and that, is why people that dont own this one bitch about it. The legs looks funky from pics.

    truth is, in hand the legs are an amazing part of TF engineering. the back 1/4s of the car, about as big as a quarter, and about 1/2" think, unfold and flip around to make his legs. They are articulated..they hold in lots of poses..i really dig that part now.

    hes right, the gull wing doors are so awesome. The wheels looks really good too. I want to end up with that MpM or whatever that was silver

    I bought the movie the best and the car mode does look fantastic but i gotta say i like the original release better. I feel like the varied colors pop more plus having laserbeak and someone to drive in is cool. And i also like the fun touch like the superior license plate.

    Yeah in particular I like the original's face colors better (even if they are less screen accurate but I don't really care about that) and the touches of blue and yellow are neat too.
