Can't decide if this looks good or just overkill for Shadow Commander...

It's an easy pass for me. The first one I picked up broke and didn't even fit Shadow Commander. It looks great in robot mode and I love the size, but three is enough!

So, this is a backpack?

I'm not sure either, is this an add-on for the Shadow Warrior?

sorry perfect ffect ill make an cheap decision ill get freanzy & rumble 2 pack this set doesnt look good to me only thing does are the extra parts for truck mode bot mode looks pointless

think they would make this one same color fro mthe first shadow fighter instead of mix machting colors looks strange that way

if i kept him truck mode with trailer attached i get it but i dont pass for me if i didnt sday before

As the pictures show, everyone needs two of these.

What is that backpack thing again?

I'd buy it if it was only the Shadow Pack, but I don't need another Shadow warrior. Starting to dislike the way PE is marketing their stuff. They just went 1 notch DOWN my list of recommendations.

This would have made some sense to me if it included Shadow Warrior instead of the Demo version. This mismatched version makes no sense to me at all.

And I love how their promo shots continue to show the guns shoulder mounted when it's been documented over and over that the don't stay attached.

The only way I'll consider the R/F versions is if they go on sale in the future. All others are easy passes.

Sums up my thoughts on this pretty well. I hate how the gun modes don't fit or stay in the shoulder of the armor. Wasn't that one of the big selling points for these guys? That is one reason I have steered clear of these overpriced little fellas.

Hmm. Yeah, the only thing that's cool about this is the ability to attach the BFG to his back. Other than that, I'm sure it won't be worth the price.

The other day I finally saw one of the Shadow Warriors in person, and they are TINY. No way that's worth even $40, the paint apps were pretty terrible too. Yeah, I'm just gonna completely pass on Perfect Effect products unless they go on sale for super cheap.

Hmmm, don't care for another repaint of this little guy and I don't really understand the backpack? Is it made simply to hold the BFG which already stores there?

It already stores there? How?

What's really disappointing about the Shadow Warriors is that if you can actually get them attached to Shadow Commander it looks awesome. He looks like total bad ass with his sword and shoulder cannons. A little bit over the top, but I'm okay with that for this character.

Going against the popular flow, this actually sold me on the Shadow Warrior. I'd been on the fence because I didn't want to outfit Shadow Commander with two identical bots that could not attach to him in trailer mode. Demo Warrior and his pack solves this problem nicely, so I picked up the last two Shadow Warriors BBTS had in stock (I have two Shadow Commanders, one displayed in each mode). Especially glad now that I had passed on the Frenzy/Rumble repaints.

Making it easier to attach the BFG to Shadow Commander's back in an attractive fashion is a bonus.

It uses pretty much the same concept that this "backpack" will. You use the white peg on the back of your Shadow/Powered/City Commander

. Use the groove that runs down the middle of the BFG to fit over that peg.

This will take a little force and it doesn't fit perfectly, but I find it works.

Now, with this in mind, I do like the fact that the backpack give the gun a 45 degree tilt and a place for his sword to store. My only concern is the BFG alone makes the figure slightly back heavy. I'm afraid the addition of the backpack to the BFG will cause this to become worse.

Yeah, I can post more pictures and a review if you'd like. You will have to forgive the picture resolution though, all I have is my iphone. :BANG_HEAD:

The set though, is pretty solid.
