2.0 out of 5 stars Cool robot, bad vechile mode, December 29, 2004

By	Tformer Fan (Western NY) - See all my reviews

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This is a repaint of the basic energon figure Signal Flare. All the same gimicks are back as there are on every basic energon figure, the energon weapon and the energon star. In this case the weapon in a energon buzzsaw, I think. Transforming to robot mode is easy, just a few simple steps. In robot mode, the cannon becomes an arm so the larger energon disk can attach to it for energon collection or for blasting. Changing back to vechile mode is where this figure looses many stars. I have yet been able to put i back into the same vechile it was when i opened the package. It seem to me that the pegs for the legs are too far for the holes they go into to reach. Offshoot cannot have both legs attached at one time or to even have one leg attached and have it all look good.

2.0 out of 5 stars I have to agree with Bob, January 14, 2005

By	C. Bedford Crenshaw "the Rebel Rockhopper" (Indiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I agree with Bob on what he says about this transformer. Transforming back to vehicle is a pain; on has to remember about the hips having to swing 180 degrees while making sure the "kibble" is out of the way, and then have to remember to pull out the inner torso far more than is instinctive. This is what makes me give it a 4 for educational value, as it takes some reasoning to figure it out. The legs have a tendency to fall off, which is why I rated it a 2 for durability. They can be put back on, but you have to pay attention to how it hooks onto the hips.

Still, it does have a cool robot mode. That's worth keeping it from a 1-star.
