3.0 out of 5 stars Kinda disappointed, August 17, 2009

This review is from: Transformers Deluxe Breakaway (Toy)

When I first saw Breakaway in the stores, before ROTF release, I decided I needed to get him. Even though I knew he wasn't in the movie, I collect TF planes and the fact that he had a F-35 JSF mode made me all the more eager to get my hands on him.

In plane mode, he is amazing! Good, accurate details... I can't ask for more in Deluxe class toy. Had this been a Voyager, you'd expect a firing projectile and stuff. But as a JSF model, this is classy and very realistic looking. The paint job/ camaflouge is ok too... can live with that.

Unfortunately, that's where the good stuff ends.

Had a little trouble tranforming to robot mode, but once I did.... I was massively disappointed at how small his head is. His face/head is pretty much a "pilot's helmet" inside the cockpit. While it looks normal in the pictures, in reality... the head is the same size as a Legends class toy!!! Add in the fact that his head is a same height as his shoulders (instead of above), giving him a hunched-back look. The latter I can live with too, but not the tiny face/head. Plus the cockpit glass keeps getting in the way, so from a distance, you can't really see his face.

The other complaint I have is that Hasbro didn't need to give him feet with four 'toes'. In robot mode, it looks funny. In jet mode, they look really weird when they're tucked away at the bottom of the fuselage. What was wrong with plain, rectangular feet?

All in all, I'm a bit disappointed. And the Mech-Alive feature isn't too great either! I'm just going to keep him in plane mode mostly.

That said, he is same size and looks great next to some of the other jets I have - Dreadwing (Mig-29), Starscream & Thundercracker (F-15s) & Sky Warp (SU-37).

This is jean`s son.I got this from santa and with three transformers in one box!The robo mode is great because it has a sub-machine gun, very detailed and people say the cockpit can`t open but I waned to see his face on the outside so where the big cocpit is lid it up and taadd you have it. The vehicle is detailed but no guns.This toy made it the best christmas ever.

cool, i ordered him with voyager Starscream, the size difference bugged me considering they were both planes, but hes only a deluxe figure, and hes definitely unique. i hesitated because he wasn't in the movie, and to be honest he looked cheaper than the other deluxe toys, but i read another review and i don't regret buying it. he has a fun and easy transformation, and various colors that strangely enough went together rather nicely, my only problem is his rear vertical wing kind of pops off from time to time, hes great and i recommend him.
