    Was going to say it might be worth a buy just to get the head for kitbashing, but upon further inspection... uhhg... Think Impossible Toys needs to be downgraded to a 4th party or 5th party.

    Loved the Quintessons they made, but not digging this. Not even remotely interested. Want the character, yes, but not this one.

    On the other hand, if you were really wanting an Alpha Trion and didn't have 300 bucks to throw down on Con repaint (whose head looks magnificent but body was nothing spectacular and really didn't look much like the original G1 character), this could easily be your guy. He certainly looks too blocky, particularly his torso and legs. But for someone who didn't get this one at the Con and wants every G1 cartoon figure they can get their hands on, it might be worth it. I don't think Alpha Trion is a figure getting lots of requests from Hasbro to add to their line.

    Its a pretty chunky looking piece, not the worst but looks too rigid and bulky. I would think that Alpha Trion would be taller and more wizard like in stance.
    I am sooo new in this game its almost impossible to think of catching up, but I am a G1 fan most of all so how is the rest of the product from this line?

    This is so bad, and for those like me who don't have a botcon one, a simple mod and repaint of a gens/united Scourge will do me fine!

    Impossibly ugly. looks like a cheap knock-off. No, knock-offs usually get the proportions right. What's with those recent fails like Soundwave and this? If you are already using somebody's IP and design, at least honor it with perfect execution (like iGear).

    Looks OK I guess, but compared to what other 3rd parties are offering, it's very weak and passable.
