Transformers Generations Legends Tailgate & Groundbuster and Skrapnel & Reflector
Groundbuster
Vehicle & Weapon Modes: I am not a huge fan of Groundbuster. His vehicle mode seems to be some king of…I’m not sure what. Maybe a snow plow? In gun mode he just looks ridiculous.
Robot Mode: Robot mode is not awful, but you can’ fold down the scoop onto his back and his arms are enormous for the size of his body.
Tailgate
Vehicle Mode: I really love Tailgate’s vehicle mode. It’s a great car mode, and I love the blue flames even though the G1 toy just had a white hood.
Robot Mode: His robot mode is great, but he could use a few dark colored paint apps, or even just make his blue darker. He just looks a little plain. The mold is awesome though. I can’t wait to see him repainted as Windcharger. If that’s not on the schedule, it needs to be.
Reflector
Vehicle & Weapon Modes: Well, I love that we got Reflector. I just wish he was a little larger. He is small compared to the other partners, and to transform from robot to camera, you just lie him down. The gun mode isn’t great either. A bit of a disappointment.
Robot Mode: His robot mode does look a lot like the Reflector robot who formed the camera lens, but again, it’s really small.
Skrapnel
Vehicle Mode: The name sucks. They should have gone with Sharpshot, the name given to Shrapnel in the Toys R Us reissue set five years ago. Skrapnel is just a dumb name. He does however have an awesome insect mode. Probably better than the G1. He’s perfect.
Robot Mode: His robot mode is equally as awesome. Now I just hope that somewhere down the road we get his two comrades so we can have a whole set.
Thanks for reading!
