CAR MODE

 

Best deluxe car ever, the detailing on this Saleen is fantastic.

 

TRANSFORMATION

 

Nothing too unusual, fairly easy. Swing out sides of the car to form the arms, Split the rear end and connect the waist under the car, fold down down, split the hood in half, flip up the head, eject Frenzy from the chest (no spring action here) if you wish and unfold it and you're done.

 

ROBOT MODE

 

Looks very nice, the arms are spectacular (especially the hands - 3 fingers and one moveable thumb), gimmick is okay (left arm extends when you push a button), but the main thing is, Barricade is a pain in the ass to pose. It's top heavy and the legs cannot be straight, ankle joints are a bit loose. Head doesn't turn either. A bit of a let down in robot mode, but I've seen worse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope that the problems with Barricade and Brawl are fixed before the final release.

Actually, I came to like Barricade a whole lot more (that review was done over a month ago). It's just too bad than you can only mostly pose the arms.

Any chances of seeing better FRENZY and transformation sequence pics??

I likey. I will buy.

what sequence? pull out of hood - unfold.

I still think his shoulderpads look lame... but he is looking better and better.

Well, for the transformation sequence, look at the instructions? :) I'm too lazy to take any more pics. I'll do one last round of pics when I receive Voyager Megatron.

Looks good.

I dig it. He's got kind of a "Prowl Gone Bad" vibe to me. Definitely a must-buy.

Its the big GRRR hands i dont like.

The car mode's detail is incredible! Puts some of the Alternators to shame.
