    I like him. Glad I passed on the Bumblebee and just got this instead.

    i knew this toy wasn't gonna be great, but the knees popping off and bending the part that clips onto the upper leg is really stupid. just from trying to transform the shins properly.

    I've had him (and Goldbug) since first release and NEVER had anything pop off...

    Nightbeat, I thought I would be sick of this mold by now considering I already have two of them. I kind of wish they stuck with the Jazz mold that was on the comic cover... but now having this in hand... I actually like him more than Bumblebee or Goldfire. Maybe because it's a character I'm not really familiar with maybe because he has a little bit better of a paint job. Not much better, it's most just the flames in vehicle mode and the weapons. I'm not sure exactly what it is but this actually seems to be the best one while I felt Goldfire was the worst.

    Apologies for resurrecting this long dead thread but wanted to compare notes with felllow Nightbeat owners and my issue doesn't seem to be in the review vids I've watched, so didn't know where else to go.

    When I transform him into car his bot chest bit seems to stick out a lot and stops the wheels from touching the ground, so I doesn't roll. Anyone else had this?

    I vaguely remember that if you line the pegs on the chest piece up with the slot of the inner torso piece it flattens the chest out.

    Just got this guy off eBay. Loose knees, chest piece that would drag in altmode, half-assed paint. Pretty awesome and enjoyable to fix up.

    Boiled and pressed the knees.

    Shaved the inside chest piece a bit to help flatten him in altmode.
