    As far as I know the seeker mould was pretty stellar in terms of quality. I've had 0 issues with any of the 5 colors I own.

    I don't have QC issues too with my copy, and now that is with discount on bbts is a really really good opportunity.

    Yeah, that's where I'm looking at him. I always thought he was a cool figure but I just can't justify dropping 100 or more on something like that, but 50% off is an absolute steal

    So I just got mine that I ordered from BBTS today. The mace was snapped off at the head, but that's an easy fix with a dab of superglue I'm hoping. BBTS did give me a ten dollar credit for it. I noticed however when transforming him from jet to robot a hint of a stress mark on the shoulder cover tab that goes into the chest in jet mode. Not sure if anyone else has noticed this....

    I’ve had mine since the original release & not a QC issue in sight.

    I now have all 6 versions of this mold, plus a extra Querella to play with. I am very pleased with this series.

    I got this today. Wow, first impressions are not kind. I kind of really hate it a lot.

    He's sharp, he's pointy, he's not very articulated. The plastic feels cheap like with Transportation Captain. I don't like the way he moves, the colors aren't as crisp as in photos. I got Siege Astrotrain yesterday for less money and actually like him more. Or should I say Mors? :p 

    Over all, if this is your favorite ascetic, go for it. I dislike mine enough that I will be selling it.

    Is PXs new plastic mix different than the old stuff? I had no issues with color or plastic strenght/feel. I will agree he is pointy haha.

    Well damn, sucks you didn't get what you expected.

    My biggest issue with the figure is that he's sooo squeaky. He's pretty cool otherwise

    Also I have an extra that I got for free a while back and the box has never even been opened so I should probably get around to selling that lmao

    I use the "arm to shin" linkages for rear landing gear on this mold. Anyone else?

    THank, feedback: It will be helpful if your review provide some side-by-side comparison with other transformers, especially well known one.
