Car mode is a beauty to hold and admire. Closest I'll ever get to owning a Porsche. Solidly tabs into place, vehicle mode looks like a model toy car. It's clean, paint job is vibrant, and it looks amazing. Robot mode is STUNNING. Face, proportions, and paint job all scream quality. Solid ratchets in the legs hold poses, and the articulation is fantastic compared to some other mp-scale figures. Very little in the way of kibble.

Before I talk about the toy, I have to talk about the packaging... this is THE NICEST BOX I have ever seen a toy come in. textured with a printed sleeve, excellently fitted foam insert to hold the toy. There was a lot of love put into the box, and it shows. That impressed me right out of the gate. Transformation is heavily interpolated from the Special Ops Jazz from th reveal the shield line, but it feels completed here. It is given the masterpiece style treatment and I will enjoy exploring and transforming this toy for a long time yet to come. For a purchase I tormented myself over and rethought several times while in the course of shipping, all doubts fled when I opened the box. his plastic has a beautiful pearl white sheen, and the only hing needed to make him perfect was a reprolabels autobot emblem, which he got as soon as he hit robot mode. No complaints at all
