    I missed the Datsuns, but I also sold my Seekers. At the end of the day, I think I am ok because legends is not the focus of my collection.

    Picked up this guy. Even though the alt-mode is a side step from G1 (which doesn't bother me) I like this figure. It definitely feels like a good take on Cliffjumper.

    Got mine in yesterday, along with my IF Exhaust (Dustfog?) and XTB Motormaster. I had not been expecting much with CJ, thought he could actually end up being a rare misfire by IF but wow in hand he does not disappoint. Funny how differently things can seem in photos. Renders and pics had me focusing on how weird and blocky his legs and feet looked, but in hand I didn't feel that way at all. What impressed me was just how crisp and light he feels, excellent poseability (compared to most IF carbots). He's a nice size, too. A very fun figure to mess with, IMO. I noticed that it was possible to put the roof of the car down lower on his back in bot mode without impinging on his waist swivel much, and at first I might prefer that but I found it actually made him look a little weird. He seemed naked somehow, something about the prominence of his head without anything around it to give it some definition. Oddly he looks a little better - beefier, sturdier - with that little car hunchback.

    I dunno... for Iron Factory... i think this is their worst figure... he's not BAD... its actually decent... i just believe from iron factory... this is the least good figure :-/
    The way the shoulder are super hindered by the backpack, and the vehicule mode where all the pannels barely holds onto place and never quite fit perfectly really bothers me :(  Hoping the future release will all be stellar 'cuz i have really high hopes for Soundwave, Magnus, Bludgeon, Scourge...

    Got this in today from TCP and he’s a badass little figure

    has anyone figured out how to get the small gun to store underneath in car mode? I think pressing the hood assembly inward creates some friction but it’s not that secure

    I wouldn't go as far as to say it's their worst figure but, it definitely isn't their best. I actually really love this guy and his size. He is not my favorite but he is up there in my top 10

    Same. I feel like I’m missing something.

    Nice figure for what it is but seems (a) too big for a minibot compared to other offerings and (b) not quite CJ. Just feels....off somehow.

    Just got mine. Definitely not the worst IF figure. That honor is reserved for their Blitzwing IMO. This one is more middle of the road IF. Not bad, but not quite upper tier as well.

    There's a square hole that the gun slots into. I holds firmly on mine.

    I see how it's supposed to work, but the gun is loose in the square hole on mine.

    Hmm. Very strange. It is very secure on mine. It could be a quality control issue.

    Eagerly waiting for mine to arrive...

    How long did that ShowZ order take? I ordered Dustfog from them.

    Hey, so since this released, who would you want to see from this mold? I'd like tap-out, hupcap, and bumber. I feel like bee deserves his own mold. You folks have any choices beyond the obvious?
