Got Generations Roadbuster in the mail:
THE GOOD:* Good looking + proportionate robot and alt mode. Nice enough to make me glad I never blew RM400 on Warbot Revolver.
* Love the color scheme and paint apps. There's something 'dirty' looking about it that really fits with the character.
* Modular and combinable weapons are lots of fun. So many possibilities.
* Speaking of weapons, his spring loaded rifle shoots surprisingly far (I almost got shot in the eye).
THE BAD:* Poor balance. Some have pointed out folding in the feet helps, but he still doesn't stand very well.
* Transformation is a little too simple for a voyager, and he seems a little small (about the same height as MP Prowl).
* Subpar headsculpt. Also weird that it has light piping, which is then painted over.
* Workmanship: mine has one floppy shoulder hinge and a gun whose peg doesn't fit anywhere. A touch of super glue and some sanding down was required.
THE 50/50:* The stickers. I like the detail it adds to the figure, especially from afar. But some of the stickers are too big for their panels, which makes them feel like an afterthought. Wish at least the Autobot/Wreckers Insignia had been painted on.
* Articulation is decent in some parts, but the lack of wrists and fingers feels lazy.
Overall pretty happy with this figure.
