Usually as a big G1 fan, I stick with the classics or remodels of characters I have heard of. This one caught my eye though because of the unique vehicle mode and gorgeous coloring. I was not disappointed when I got it either. The pictures don't really do this guy justice, in robot mode it resembles an insecticon because of the head, insect like legs, and coloring. The face and head resemble kickback, my fav insecticon which is very cool. The truck mode is very nice as well. This is pretty easy to transform as well, the first time I did it with only a breif glance at the instructions, which usually aren't much help anyway. It does have some issues though, the "bed cover" for the truck seems to pop off for no reason, it seems to tight. Also it seems a bit on the fragile side, so I wouldn't recommend this for a very young child, or it will probably be broken shortly. Although it is extremely posable, the small feet and skinny legs make it very hard to stand. Great peice for collectors and older kids, might not stand up to heavy play though.

I didn't think this particular figure would be worth it since it's from the toy line of the first Transformers live-action movie (a good number of the figures there are kinda spotty compared to anything recent), but I found it to be amazing. Transformation is interesting, the resulting the robot is stable and looks very much like a robot, and the vehicle mode is accurate and practical (if one were to use this as a toy, I mean). I actually bought it as a recommendation from the seibertron.com website and they were right: this is a jewel of the first movie toy line.

The transformer kept my grandson, 9 years old, occupied for the afternoon trying to get it apart and together and then he enjoyed playing with it.

Overrall nice toy. Good addition to the collection. Its relatively easy to transform, but it might be difficult for kids with less than 10 years.

The transformation isn't complete in this picture.
Regardless this is a pretty cool figure. Pretty unique transformation.
Cool that that they didn't stick one of those camera/lens heads on this one like they did with Payload.

Definitely a worthy addition to a collection.
