    Didn't see a review post so here's mine.
    Refraktor or Reflector if you will.
    Outstanding figure. Tough to find 3 of them but well worth it.
    Last pic is a combined alt-mode(not my pic).

    I have no complaints whatsoever. The robot modes are rock solid and just like the cartoon.
    The camera mode is unbelievable. Very clever transformation and solid.
    The alt mode is ok. I'm not a huge fan of the flying stick but someone has remedied that with a cool combined mode(last pic, again not mine).

    Overall it's a must and a must to have 3 of them.
    A+ in my book, Hasbro hit this one way out of the park.

    My most anticipated figure (figures?) From siege besides Omega. Despite the especially abstract nature of his "cybertroinan space shape" alt mode (it's a folded up dude laying down), I dig them individually and as a trio.

    I must also echo @iron maniac , the camera mode is solid, very hefty, and it’s just fun to handle. :) 

    It’s gonna act as a riser for a minute :D

    I love him precisely because he's so simple. He's the absolute perfect representation of a background filling hench-mook. Plus his accessories are honestly pretty great for like, a classic riot troop kinda deal

    I really look forward to getting two more to complete the trio (and thanks for that combined ship mode pic btw).

    Still, I'm curious if they're going to follow through on those extra camera mode pieces they hinted at.

    I actually don’t mind the single-bot alt mode...but that combined alt mode is awesome. I’m kind of torn on this. If a toy deco version comes out, I would prefer to have it over this version, and I don’t want to buy two versions of these guys.

    Looks good. Just needs a Flash accessory and I'm golden.

    Is it possible to leave the iris disc on the center bot's chest in camera mode, with the lense pieces attached?

    Well, the only problem is where to find the 3 of them...

    Yeah, I keep checking amazon to see if I can snag another for retail but I don't think it's happening. Guess I'll just have to wait til, what, mid July?

    It took me 2 tries on Amazon. Got one the first time and got the other 2 a few days later. Just gotta keep checking.

    Exact same scenario here; one on the first order and two on the second order, all at MSRP. Just need patience. :thumb

    I was able to do it once, but every day since then I've checked multiple times and haven't seen any pop up.

    Anyone else notice stress lines in the peg hole for the tripod? I wish I took before and after pics.

    Whew. Managed to grab one of these off of eBay (not spending gas/time driving around looking for one). I can't wait to get it in.

    2x from Amazon and 1x from Walmart and I am a happy evil camera enthusiast. You can use one iris part as a button, leave one behind the lens (though it sits too high, not centered on the lens), and the final part goes on top of the tripod.

    IMG_20190618_184103.jpg

    Attaching the tripod to the camera made me feel like an idiot for a minute. Pics for reference.

    All in all I love it.

    I dunno...

    I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around $65 worth of 3 identical deluxes...when I've had photron... visualizers...and I can get that Chinese KO one shipped for 30

    That said..its not a bad thing to have generic cons on the shelf if the camera mode isnt the greatest.

    Yeah, I think he looks GREAT, but I'll probably wait until they're down to at least $15 before buying a set. By then we might know more about this possible giftset with the addon parts. Which WOULD likely be worth the full $60 (especially if they remold the heads and chests to look like the G1 toy).

    I got my refraktor in... Meh, I like it, but I don't think I am going to get the other two.
