>>11034621I apologize in advance for the blurriness of the shot, but I'm not in the mood to retake the pic.
Anyway, as stated, thsi guy is only half of the big robot that's advertised. There's actually four combined modes - HERMES, where Cheetah makes up the upper torso as seen in pic related, MERCURY, where it instead turns into the legs and Gazelle gets to be on top, and two unnamed configurations listed in the instructions as '??' - one that looks like a Macross Valkyrie in GERWALK mode, where Cheetah makes up the upper jet half and Gazelle becomes the legs, while the other looks like some sort of super car/tank thing.
Articulation is a bit iffy here - all of Cheetah's joints are very tight, so I was apprehensive about all the bending and rotating needed to scrunch the long car up into a compact torso, and the arms still make unnerving squeaks as you bend and move them. Range of motion is still pretty decent, and he can hold things in his hands, but this doesn't strike me as something you want to be constantly fiddling with.
The actual transformation looks fairly complex at first, but it's not as bad as it seems - most of the actual transforming is in the arms. The driver's seat remains open in this mode, so you can leave the pilot inside throughout the whole transformation.
