TRANSFORMERS Toys Cyberverse Ultra Class Hot Rod Action
No lie, this is my favorite part of the toy. It just feels really satisfying. I guess this is what reviewers mean by “handfeel.” It takes only a few moments to complete, but is involved enough to feel satisfying. Basically, you pull the legs down, pull the arms out, flip the hood down to reveal the head (with a bit of flipping and finessing), and spin the roof and spoiler around. It’s all about moving big chunks around, and snapping things into place. I particularly sliding the legs down, and flipping the feet out. It’s hard to explain, but this is where a lot of the tactile fun is for me.
Over the last few years, I sold most of my G1 stuff, but I intend to keep this figure. It’s solid, it’s got a really fun transformation, and it looks nice. Even if you don’t collect any G1, I still recommend it as a curiosity piece, or as a small vertical slice of “what mid-to-late G1 was like.” Of course, the real question is “how much is it worth?” To put it bluntly, with the exception of the smaller minibots, I feel like the current run of Wal-Mart exclusive G1 reissues is overpriced for what you’re getting, and you should wait for a sale, like the current run of Hot Rod reissues eventually found themselves on. I bought mine years ago, and don’t recall what I paid, but it’s something I’m never letting go of, and am happy with it. So, it’s worth getting, but keep an eye on how much you pay. It’s roughly the same size as a Siege deluxe, but a lot heftier thanks to being made of more solid chunks of plastic, and a bit of diecast metal (though it’s not visible in this mode). In fact, the whole thing feels really solid and durable, and unlike a lot of G1 toys from the first two years, I don’t feel like I need to wear kid gloves to handle it.
