Contents: Box
Plastic Frame
Trailer (armor........whatchamacalit)
Label sheet (aka licence plates for City Commander)
Instruction Manual comic entitled "TF-Parallax:Orion"
Description of contents:
1. Manual: very slick 'cuz they portrayed a "Stargate" like foe instead of "Megatron" which then focused on the hero Orion ( in Powered Convoy diaclone colors) "transforming" which doubles as a how to attach the armor steps. (unlike the near useless manuals of the official TF products)
2. Trailer: which doubles as his armor (chest, shoulders, hip guard and boots)and his BFG! ,
Did I fail to mention you can attach the wind vane ion blaster and machine gun weapons of UM on to his shoulders plus the G-1 side missiles too?
3. Most important thing of all............don't forget to purchase either Ultra Magnus or Classic Optimus/ Henkei Convoy figure.
The Good: Starting from head to toe figuratively, let me start........the armor is a marvel in engineering, a great commercial type scratch and build set. The plastics used in this case looks superior to the "official" Ultra Magnus figure, smooth, sturdy with great paint applications not cheap looking. Another neat feature is how they employed feet suspension to give him feet stability.
The Bad: Let me think..............cosmetically the limitation of the Ultra Magnus mold makes his shoulders look too tight and narrow.
Okay...........his BFG is a tad heavy (due to the Ultra Magnus mold most likely), pulling down his "glove" and there is potential risk in breaking his "boot" with constant removal so this will be like a one way street transformation unless you buy two.
Price: Now that is a sore sticking point, but given that this is an "indie" type creation, aww heck, they don't have the same economic muscle as Tomy/Takara/Hasbro............for hard core fans only but truely worth the price mind you, again worth the price.
