He's not that bad.... just not that awesome either. His robot mode looks fine, and his sportscar mode is pretty slick but he was just so cumbersome to transform.
I got the Hasbro edition when it first came out because I didn't care for the Flamebago shell. and to this day I think I've only transformed him TWICE.
The proportions of the silhouette kind of worries me.
Well we can only hope this one won't make you feel like you're defusing a bomb trying to transform it.
