>>11314314Based on my personal experiences with it
PROS:
-Transformation isn't as complicated as something like MP-38 or the usual third party MP Megatron and is easy to commit to memory (but a tool that won't scrape the plastic is still recommended)
-Scales great with other CHUG figures (just not SS86 Optimus)
-Highly articulated all around, not many poses it can't pull off.
CONS
-Hips are tension-based and tend to fail, and in some cases break, not to mention you have to lift the entire front skirt when moving just one of them forward
-Abcrunch joint is nothing but a pinned swivel and is uncomfortably loose. Not enough that the upper body randomly flops forward, but you still know it's there.
-Shoulder joints are molded in a bit lower than you'd expect/want them to be, similar to CW Leader Megatron (but not nearly as bad). There are ways around this, but sometimes it's blatantly obvious.
-Hands can't hold anything 5mm-peg based, and don't hold their own accessories particularly well either
-Upper body feels a bit undersized compared to the lower body
-Greenish-white faces that don't match the rest of the colors
-No Scope or Silencer for pistol mode.
I don't regret buying it, but I do wish it was just a little bit better.
