In terms of fiddliness and parts popping off-ery, how does he compare to Galvatron?alldarker wrote:I have Universe Hot Shot, and to be honest, even with the JaAm plate, he really is quite terrible. Car mode is ugly, no actual powerlink features, robot mode looks pretty good but holds together badly, Jolt is very back heavy in 'bot mode... Not much good to say about this mold except the plate.
Henkei Hot Shot does seem to look slightly better, although some flaws are impossible to correct on this mold, Henkei or not.

as far as powerlinking goes, you can mimic his gripper claws but as they aren't automatic it is disappointing.
As far as being top heavy with Jolt, I haven't had any issues possing him or displaying him with Jolt linked to his shoulder.
It would be nice to have the weapons in bot mode but for vehicle mode i'd rather have JaAm than fart cannons.

Is it possible to put the Henkei cannons on the Universe toy, does anyone know?

Disappointed that they didn't try to emulate either of his powerlink features.
Generally joints are tighter on Henkei. Can't speak for this figure.OPTIMUS MAGNUS wrote:Damn. Now I gotta get Henkei Hot Shot. He looks so much better with the gray feet and bumper. I actually like the little bit of chromage too. Anyone know if the joints are tight or floppy on the Henkei vs. Universe?
