Comments

Transformation is very basic, does cover most of the robots bits in beast mode, I like the extra finger movements always nice to have, plastic feels really good and solid. Not enough accessories, would be nice if it came with some laser effects, would be nice if there was a bit more detail on the back in robot mode to hint at a jetpack like the old cartoon series. Blades look weird attached to the back in beast mode, would have been nice if they folded and hid underneath the back flap.
