Comments

Good Transformation, lots of little accessories, I like the extra detail on the head that holds Hotrod's lenses like in the movie, nice touch on the finger movements, and the hands swapping out to see the repair tool. The should movement is very tough and not smooth, no extra holes to put guns on, no place to store the cutting blade.
