The wheels on the car mode should be moved forward. They look really weird that far back. The other modes are ok.

looks like an unrefined lego contraption.
like in the optibotimus review, all modes require "imagination" to see what they are supposed to be.

Ultimately, kids will just be stoked to get a Transformer with SIX modes.

Yeah I'm pretty happy with the look of this guy. Leave the reimagining for Hastak's next crack at him a few years from now.

Which is prrrrreeeeetty much exactly g1. His modes are faithful. His shit is supposed to look futuristic. He has six frikkin' modes. Not sure how upu expect them all to be "refined." Even the most triple changers have obvious pieces of other modes hanging off them.

There were reasons sixshot was one of the most mind blowing toys to get as a kid! Those reasons remain!

With ya. I want an updated sixshot toy that looks like sixshot. Prime, bee, Megatron, they're done all the time. Those guys get the variety. Titans return is giving us great updates of toys that *never* get redone!

At the price point, this is the best Sixshot compared to any of the third party guys coming out. I've watched reviews of all the third party Sixshot figures and they all kind do the same thing. Maybe the third party guys are bigger, and that makes them worth six times as much, but I'll gladly buy this guy the second he hits the shelves.

Couldn't agree with this statement any more... Titans Return has really scratched the itch for the Headmasters... I had as a kid.... Just the sight of chromedome and highbrow makes me smile... and since I lost my G1 sixshot this will be a nice stand in... don't get me wrong.. some of the titans line.. is a real miss... ie the gimmick on Galvatron... but I've already customized and replaced his head.. so I'm happy...

Got my Sixshot today!

I don't like:
-how the legs don't peg together in tank mode
-the ugly wolf neck cockpit
-how that cockpit is too visible in car mode, making it look like it could go forward or backward
-the poor gun handle/submarine thing design... wings should have been able to clip together without the wolf head sandwiched in there
-the asymmetrical gun things in car mode (I don't even use them)

I like:
-the robot mode
-the jet mode
-the wolf mode (despite the neck)
-the Headmaster
-the helmet

All in all, it could have been more satisfying without dumb design decisions, but it's still an enjoyable offering.

Can the figure assume the unofficial "Wingwolf" mode that the G1 Sixshot figure can?
