Energon Strongarm

Strongarm and Skyblast were the first Energon figures I remember buying. The were both cool little Scout class toys with nice designs, good details, and were fun to play with.
Strongarm is one of those toys that I feared wouldn't age well or may look out of place with other lines of Transformers, but that hasn't been the case. He's a small, fun figure that works great with Energon, Cybertron, Generatons, and even Prime toys.
My one issue with this figure is the crane/gun thing. It's huge. While it doesn't look bad on the vehicle, it does look too big for the robot, I think if they had designed it to split into two pieces it would have been a lot better. They, weirdly enough, designed his spare tire to split into two...why not the weapon instead?
Strongarm transforms into some sort of jeep thing. It is small, but given how small the two front seats appear, I would actually think that the jeep would be huge...or maybe the drivers are just really tiny. Anyway, the mold itself isn't bad, and it had a crane/cannon thing that attaches to it.
His transformation from vehicle to robot, or vice versa, is relatively easy and satisfying.
