Could be an OK figure. (excuse the pun.)

This isn't a K.O, it's the stolen Chinese Blood Money version of the figure

wolverinetodd wrote:First, it's just lazy of Hasbro to have her legs resting atop of her jet mode like that. WTF! On top of that, her feet point straight up and aren't hinged so one could flip them down and under. Double WTF! Hinging her feet would've been an easy fix to that eyesore.
wolverinetodd wrote:Second, that gap while in jet mode. Triple WTF! The solution to filling that gap when in jet mode would've also been an easy fix, but Hasbro was even lazier at solving that. Again, hinges would've been the solution. Specifically hinges down her shins, allowing the inner part of her shins to flip up and meet in the middle of that gap to conceal said gap.
wolverinetodd wrote:And third, her arms just resting there below the wings while in jet mode... also a lazy move for Hasbro. Her arms could've been ball-jointed in such a way that they could've fit up under and inside the nosecone/cockpit part. Currently the nosecone/cockpit serves only one purpose and that's holding the landing gear. Instead of the landing gear being attached under the nosecone/cockpit, it could've been, say it with me, HINGED to one of her arms.

wolverinetodd wrote:You're probably thinking, "But Hasbro/Takara wanted to go back to simpler transformations. To be able to transform completely in fewer steps." Well didn't they also introduce a line with that very idea in mind that was just the Legend Class figures blown up to Deluxe Class figures. And what happened to that line? A line that was taking 30 years of Transformers Toys technology BACKWARDS about 40 years. It was cancelled before it even got started, at least here in the states it was, which so many of us hardcore Transformer collectors predicted would happen. And again, I hope the ones that came up with that idea were FIRED!

The base of the neck is pinned in. The upper part that swivels appears to be just a swivel joint with a mushroom joint
durroth wrote:... the one thing that baffles me more than anything else with this figure is why they designed it so the color scheme pretty much flips backwards between modes. The bot is a primarily red figure with black parts, the jet mode is primarily black, with red parts. It's not something I dislike, but it feels like her jet mode is missing color because of it.

Thanks for another great overall review of how badly Hasbro screwed this figure up. You have saved me so much money and I cannot thank you enough!!
