    I'm reading through IDW's Stormbringer and thought this OP rendition looked great, especially the location of the wheels in robot form. What's the closest figure to this? Was one designed and Im missing it?

    Yeah haha. took me a bit to find the right info page.

    The mold can be loose because of the heavy use of die cast but he's still a good figure.

    Is the toy it self good? I seem to recall endless complaining about the titaniums in general. I remember being tempted by this guy, but I never got him.

    It's better than the real shitters from that line, but suffers from the same floppy joints as the rest of the line.

    Its a decent figure. Its a pity that DW folded (no comment on how it was run) but I kinda liked the direction it was heading - how it tried to breach events from season 2 to the movie.
