Vehicle mode is alright, Robot mode is not that good. The head and shoulders look off, and there's too much clear plastic on the chest.

Generations Kup is nice, but the vehicle mode isn't very Kup at all

This pulls off the altmode nicely, or so it looks

You also call it floor wax

Paint brushes are a dollar

It helps if you say where you live, but it's on amazon.com for too much in the US, but walmart.com lists it at $6

As an aside, it's not floor wax, it's functionally acrylic paint. So you just get a cheap paint brush and apply it to the surface in careful layers - takes about 12 hours to dry. If you've ever done warhams, its just like that kind of paint. For some reason Transformers fans have to overcomplicate it or call it things it isn't.

Thanks for pointing me to Walmart, found it quickly after that

I'd wait til we see him in 1080p being brutally manhandled by a TF reviewer as opposed to 'scans of a cruddy magazine at avatar size'

Also Takara exists. In theory. Total wave 3 or higher due out next year so far: 0.

Likewise, the Takara Blurr looks sooooooo much better that a part of me wants to get it and sell my Hasbro one. Same with Astrotrain.

I wonder if you can just leave the legs fully stretched back, that would help the Jet mode. Still, looks like a great Broadside.

Considering it has to go from something pretty flat into a jet I think the jet mode isn't that bad.

Just mentally label him a surprise-changer in your head. He looks like he turns into a jet but ¡surprise! he turns into a aircraft carrier and not a jet!

Don't mix him up with surprise one-step changers though. That's where he changes into being in the trash. In one step.
