Very very mixed feelings with this one. The new torso bot is great! Skulk is genuinely really fun to hold and play around with. He can pose really well (sort of weird, but still really well) and the molding and detail is fantastic! If you just had him, the combined mode would hold all kinds of promises!
But then come the limbs. I am not joking when I say these limbs (I already own Abominus, so I have experience with them) are the worst quality figures I own. The molds have to be dead for the limbs to be this awful.
Thrash (left arm): his head and front legs pop off when you open his chest and his armor pieces on his legs are so loose they slide by themselves and will not hold in place.
Rupture (right arm): his ball joints are pathetic. his wings fall off just standing in place. and his robot head joint is so stiff I am afraid to transform him into robot mode.
Gorge (left leg): his ball joints are so loose his beast and robot modes are useless. He will not stand. And the pegs won't work for combined mode, so he just flops around unless he is actually bearing weight equally on his head and feet.
Glug (right leg): worst of the lot. his beast mode head will not tab together, he is almost completely useless as a leg (the only reason he is working is because I have him very mistransformed and the combining system is much more secure on this one, more on that in a moment) and his ball joints are awful too.
The combining system is pretty good though for the legs. they now possess some clips on Skulks arms that peg in and hold the legs, which allows for the mistransformations that make the legs work better.
But still, I have to say avoid this figure. Skulk is great! But that is it. The limbs are of pitiful and painfully bad quality. Not worth the full price.
PS: Quintessa is cool, but she is so tiny!

Really, ALL the components should have been new molds... The torso voyager size, the limbs deluxe size, Combiner Wars compatible, in a nice 150$CAN box set.
But eh, wishful thinking.

Rodimus Prime wrote:So after a week of leaving him in his box, I finally took Leader Megatron out. overall, I was disappointed. I was looking forward to having fun with the figure, but the transformation is a pain in the ass. Took all the fun out of it. I like both modes, but I don't think I'll be taking this figure off the shelf often. Definitely not worth $50. Good thing that I got it to display next to AoE leader Prime, since the TLK leader Prime isn't screen accurate, thus not worth$50 either. Hasbro seriously dropped the ball with both these figures. And would it be too much to ask for instructions with a little more color in them? Half the time I couldn't see what I needed to do.

I'm interested in the Bumblebee, what's a good place to discuss it?
