The Energon Pub

Nightbird is a much better deluxe figure than Mirage, but that's not saying much. Much of the transformation is similar to the mainline figure, but I miss the claw weapon and how it and the sword integrated to form the rear spoiler. What is interesting about this Studio Series release is how the bulk shifts from the front on the mainline figure to the rear as a backpack. While it's not a perfect figure Nightbird is good and I'm not looking for a second attempt like Mirage.
