TFC -Uranos- F15 Eagle (AKA Air Raid) Review

Well heres my review of the Uranus - F15 Eagle (AKA Air Raid) and my first review.
Got the Phantom and the F15 together.

Much happier with the F-15 overall but I don't know if it is bias to seekers and Macross


Now some of the pros are also the cons

Pros
Great Size
Good color
Great looking jet mode due to the thinner wings
Great looking robot mode (better than Fire Flight, Phantom)
Has a Gerwalk mode "AWESOME"
Great Articulation Robot Mode
Foot doubles as a jet stand
Easy transformation ( could be a con for some)


Cons ( Some might be a bit nit picky)
Wings feel thin and brittle hopefully due to realisum, don't know if making them a little thicker would make the wings look off?
Foot is seperate does not for part of robot mode or Plane
Tabs on wing thin due to thinish wing
Front hinge clip for nose assembly hard to clip in, and thin
lots of plastic spur bits left on pieces ( Quality control issue or cost cutting)
Back portion of nose could sit closer to back.


Over all really good, don't know if it meets their Hercules standard for bulkiness, but the constucticons are vehicles and easyier to make them heavier and bulkier than planes.
The robot plastic and construction seems to match Herc, really like the jet mode







Inside package, poster and collector card, sorry limited out the pics for the post, if you want to see them or package shots can post later.




First out of the box shot.
Ta Da!




Neet function, you can move the intakes up and now he looks like a Decepticon
On No



Some poses, he's a dancer






Dancing with Jazz, a little to excited to get out the box.




Yeah my crusie missles are guns








Oh the best feature of this transformer,
Gerwalk Mode





The Transformation to Arielbot mode.
The worst part of the transformation trying to clip in the nose, I had to put my finger under it, I was a little worried it would break as I clicked it into place.













Another great feature the foot turns doubles as a stand, also wings have a double bend and can be configured for a different look.










Size comparison



And a quick transformation to the foot.






Leg complete








Hope this was helpful, Cheers.

Nice review man! I really dig this figure and I love how the foot is actually useful as a stand.
