I have him and he does have knee articulation, better than his arms in my opinion.

Downshift has some damn good articulation for a deluxe. I just wish his head could turn more.

yeah but he doesn't have good articulation in the arms......no lateral movement/ swivel. They should have ball jointed his elbows at least, have a little door cover for folding in his hands like they did on thundercracker and the was ABSOLUTLY NO REASON to not make his head turn side to side. one could have just pulled those ear thingys out.....there was no need for springloaded anything........

To me he's the autobot version of thundercracker.....alot of good ideas yet a few bad ones that just spoiled the toy.

oh yeah, crosswise has more articulation through out the toy than downshift.

Just keep that in mind if articulation is important to you.

But little kids like spring action, or so toy makers seem to think. I honestly wish they'dstop with all the springloaded stuff unless its in weapons that you can remove. I prefer them to not impair the transformation.

I'm really digging the new downshift, haven't seen him in my area yet but looks like one I'll pick up.

I already have Crosswise. He is awesome.

But...Does he bend his kness? I know he rotates them, but does he bend them?

You know, to put in in sitting poses? Cuz I don't care if they swivel...And the arms look good enough for me.

Will anyone please take decent pictures that analyze this TF throrughly? Where's Remy?

Cuz I really like his alt mode and his robot mode, but I need to know him better in order to buy him. Pics showing him in various poses. Moving his arms, legs, knees, albows...Because this guy better be better than Energon Downshift...

Neck articulation........Zero.

I read some one ask if Downshift had Knee articulation well

He has as much neck articulation as G1 Rumble

February 14, 200620 yr

I'm beginning to think I'll need to buy this guy. And repaint the lime green into either a dark blue or black.

February 14, 200620 yr

Ok, I'm definetly getting him! :eek

February 14, 200620 yr

I soooo want this guy...it figures that he would only be one to a case clogged with the armada remolds :tfsad
