>>5875405It's cool. The new releases have the fix parts already installed. You will need to do some work with replacement parts included if you buy the giftset. It's highly recommend to get the SF kit for it so the cannon sits on the back better and twists with the torso. Plus you can leave the bottom bit on the back for scattorshot and the combiner so he doesn't look so thin. Stock Quantron had the cannon sit lower and lean back looking awkward if you weren't looking at him dead on.
>>5875461Not as good as the combiner. The members as a group are extremely strong in vehicle mode and great in combined mode. Robot mode YMMV.
Strafe is the best easily and a good figure in his own right. Simple to transform and stylish in both modes.
Scattorshot has hand panels and a visible combiner head if you don't keep the bow on him. You can choose to keep the combiner feet on him but it looks tacky as fuck. Removing the bow with the shadow fisher kit on makes him fairly strong with part of cannon now as the backpack and the combiner head hidden.
I really like Nosecone but I think I'm in the minority. I love his vehicle mode and I really like the headsculpt complete with DBZ scouter, drill hands, under slung guns, and extra grabby hand gimmick. I arrange the kibble differently on his back to make it look like he has a jet pack thing. Transformation is a complete cluster fuck though. His buttflap is actually made up of two long and thin plastic hinges that explode the torso into a bunch of robo origami flips.
Weakest link for me is Lightspeed or Afterburner. Both have excellent vehicle modes but are let downs in bot mode. Light speed as weird as fuck legs and crappy arms and is a pain to transform. Afterburner is sort of a cluster fuck at the torso detailing and you never know quite what to do with the shoulders. The knees are blocked by the alt mode shell on his legs that you can move out of the way, but its still annoying.
