    Not gonna lie, liking this guy. May get soon.

    Will probably spin the head defect into weird narrative irony, the Bot that believes in good luck didn't have it when his head was built.

    Finally got my AM Jackpot and did the head swap, and I have to say that I think they both look better for it. Action Master Jackpot's head is HUGE for his body, and somehow the wonky Jackpot head doesn't bother me as much when I put it on the smaller figure.

    Does it still transform and is any modding needed?

    Not without popping the head off, unfortunately, just because of how much bigger the AM head is than the one he comes with. It doesn't have enough clearance width-wise to get through the gap. It did need modding-I had to cut the original neck joint piece off the AM head and drill out a hole for the ball joint on Jackpot's neck, but it's holding well and turning without issue. I don't plan to transform him often, so the inability to do so without taking the head off doesn't really bother me.

    Not that mine really needs one, but it would still be nice to have.

    You know what you must do right?

    Skip this and buy the Beast Wars figures of the line instead.

    Oh, well I still like him! He’s fun and tbh the head doesn’t bother me all too much (though it still shouldn’t have happened). The rest of the figure rocks, hopefully I’ll have it soon.

    Jackpot doesn’t look as bad in person as the pics here. His head is small and unless he’s in your face, you barely notice it. I like him.

    I got lucky with my Jackpot head and it doesn't suck as much as I see here.

    Nah, he's a good figure with a sometimes awful head.

    I hope Amazon ships out my copy of Jackpot soon. I re-ordered him on Dec. 1st and he has a delivery window of Dec. 18th to Jan. 3, and he is now listed as being "in stock."

    Could have been worse.

    It could have been a FunPub core class head on a deluxe body that's also flat in the back.

    Jackpot was the one who wanted to make it interesting! Smokescreen cheated (as usual)

    The best part was getting Jackpot for only $23.75 due to the outer back being damaged. Now to wait for Mutant Tigatron and Terrorsaur.
