    I want a black version of him so badly, the bike looks gorgeous in black, if they'd do a black one with a new head I'd snap out up.

    In vehicle mode he looks like he's too big even for human alliance.

    Yeah he's a bit big. The human alliance Arcee bikes are a better scale. I'm not bothered.

    Damn you all for making me order this with your fancy photos. Hope it does live up to hype as he costs as much as BMB Barricade.

    Now that I've had him for a bit and transformed him a few times, I can give some thoughts.

    For the low price of around $40 this guy is really good. The bike is beautiful and has almost perfect asymmetrical molding. I might paint his brake calipers red and get rid of the green rim on the front wheel.

    The transformation is enjoyable and the parts forming bothered me for all of five seconds. The only part of transformation that does bother me is the chest not tabbing in. It holds but if you bump it, the halves will move out of place. There's a lot of clever engineering packed into this little guy. The result is an equally satisfying bot mode.

    "Whaddup fellas? Man, I wanna kill you right now! HA HA!"

    20200119_225952.jpg
    "Aawwww yeah...."

    20200119_230113.jpg
    "...Decepticons is in da streets!"

    He's packed with articulation. I do wish he had more ankle tilt and that he could look up more. Others have mentioned that his hands are only able to hinge outwards. These all end up being nitpicks for a figure this size. It's a large legends/small deluxe transformer with an ab crunch and waist swivel. Fully poseable chicken legs and arms.

    "I kill all y'all, right now!"

    "Look at that little blue beetle lookin' mofo!"

    He's a bit big. Closer to 1/24 scale than the 1/28-29 scale of MPM carbots. I'm not sure it's possible to make him smaller at this level. There's a smaller, studio series scaled version on the way that might scale better... but it doesn't look anywhere near as good.

    "AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

    Overall, I highly recommend him. I don't care for the character but the design is cool. This is a QUALITY release of the design.

    I'd tried to cancel a while back, but turns out OhMyPrimus had already shipped

    Gross partsforming aside, it looks fun, and should go nice with my other mp figures

    Extremely impressed so far. This is one quality figure, and is a ton of fun to pose.

    TransCraft Mohawk without resorting to partsforming doesn't look that bad either

    And my slowly growing TLK collection.

    Partsforming does not bother me in the slightest. I prefer partsforming to using faux parts for accuracy any day. Moxican is excellent little represtation of the character.

    Everyone i saw here, including the reviewers, mistransform his backpack though.

    As you can see, his bars should be upward and showing from front.
