- Motto: "SHEEAGH!"
I just opened these guys yesterday and it should be said the complaints about the figures feeling cheap and brittle are unfortunately accurate. Hollow does not begin to describe some of them - a shell would be more accurate.
On the other hand, there's a lot of good design on the figures. Tabs and small panels. Many joints are ratchet or swivel joints and not ball joints (though there are still ball joints), and Onslaught's the only one with negative modes. Vortex and Blast-off look great in either mode, and Swindle ain't bad either. Brawl is a little awkward in robot mode, but he still looks good.
Once I figure out how to fold Blastoff's arm mode in more realistically, the combined mode will look better. And ignore the recommended weapon combo for Bruticus - tooling around yields much better ones.
