Grind Rod

Agreed

I agree that this guy is a good solid figure. He is not spectacular, but does everything that you need well.The problem is, that with zero interest in a 'Puzzler-type' combiner and with all of the neo-Throttlebots having similar transformations, I dont really feel the need to get basically six variations on a theme. Plus, TW are really dragging their heels for the third in the series and there is speculation that the line has been dropped or been shelved, which would be a shame. I would be very interested in their take on Wide Load, who looks like some kind of military off-road monster in this iteration.

If they delay much longer, I might need to pick up Aurora.

I think Grind Rod is suppose

I think Grind Rod is suppose to be a Jeep Wrangler with a hard top, Aurora I believe is a Land Rover Evoque.

I think you are right. I'm

I think you are right. I'm not a car guy, looks like I got my 'Rovers' mixed up with Aurora, who is totally a Land Rover Evoque.

Great review of a really cool toy

I've got one of these guys myself and like it quite a bit. The right arm on mine is awfully floppy, though, but the rest is fantastic. Plastic quality is excellent on this guy - much better than on Hegemon (or on Hard Bone, their not-Hard Head headmaster clone)..

I'll have a Hard Bone review

I'll have a Hard Bone review up soon. I am so in love with the design I am willing to overlook a couple minor QC issues :)
