But that said... he's big, he's sturdy, great plastic, feels a bit like the type they used for OP (Siege voyager) but a bit softer, which is quite fine, as it offers a bit of flexibility with such a large size.
The good: robot mode, they did a great job and the face shield/mask is something that I am very grateful for as it looks amazing, but I prefer a robot/mech head type than human face. Overall a very nice, even stunning figure.
The bad: while plane mode looks amazing from the top, the undercarriage is so much robot kibble that could have been done better, and hidden more. The leg ratchets are great except for one that' s missing so I feel that in time, lots of these figures may learn to do a split. The arm cannons accessories don't hold all that well, and the hands transformation's pins to hold them in place are weak.
So another Siege figure and another time where I'll say... so close to being amazing but dang it, a bit more work of the design and he'd be so much better for it... again it feels that they went "ok, that's good enough, it's going to sell"....so he's in the very nice, great categories, but misses amazing.
I just think that the designers could have done a lot more, with less kibble, and it's amazing to see something this huge that they didn't design to actually carry other figures inside, even if just a few micromasters (cockpit non-withstanding).. that backpack is just so freaking huge.... the first pictures that came out, I hoped that it was as such, a section that big, so square, that it would be a passenger "deck".
