Y'know, all the flak this figure's been getting about those clearly visible screws above the shoulders be damned, this is a slaggin' awexome figure and high up on my buy list.

Apparently he's completely unposeable (well in the arms, legs are OK) and Jolt cant even stand up unless you bend him forward 45 degrees at the waist.

I was going to get him (or the Henkei version) until I found that out.

Hot diggity DAMN.

Okay, he's beyond must own.

There's $13.00 I'll happily spend. It's a shame he doesn't come with the weapons though. (Not a big deal anyway, I rarely, if ever, used his missile launcher, and he couldn't really hold the engine gun without looking doofish.)

This one pwns.

Definitly an improvement on the orginal.I'll try and get this one, as Jolt's lack of articulation doesn't worry me. If he can hook onto his bulkmate, then so be it!

Looks like he'll have very limited shoulder mobility but the double elbows and rotating upper arm is good. I'm concerned that the windows on the back of the legs will get in the way of his knees.

I'm also worried that the last Universe figures won't reach the UK cos of the Movie line. That's what happened last time.

After reviewing old news threads about this, I think his shoulder articulation won't be so bad.

If that happens to be the case, BBTS is your best bet. Beyond that, I'm sure a fellow Seibs poster would be more than willing to assist you in finding the figures you need.

A polite call for help is all that's needed and those who can, will do their best to help out. I should know, I've had more than one member aid me when needed.

There's good people here.

I'd say there's a 99.9% chance the answer is no...They chose to mold the door out of yellow plastic and then paint the window rather than mold it out of clear plastic and paint the entire door...As much as I hate when they make a toy with both clear and painted windows, it's probably for the best...Whenever they try to match paint with the same colour of opaque plastic it's always a fail...Look at Classics Bumblebee for a case in point...

I don't think many people are really disputing the fact that he looks better than his original toy...But "not as ugly" doesn't really translate into "pretty"...
