Transformers: EarthSpark Tacticons Wave 2 and 3 (Arcee, Hashtag, Wheeljack)

Tacticons are essentially transforming finger puppets. You read that right. Someone at Hasbro should be fired for green lighting these. You squeeze the back on the vehicle to make them transform, and it pushes your finger up behind their legs so they stick on your finger like a puppet. Small problem with that. As you can see on the package they transform backwards. Instead of having the front of the figure facing the same direction as your palm, it faces the opposite way. At least, to me that is backwards. The vehicle modes are kind of fun, but the robot modes suck.

Arcee

I really like Arcee’s vehicle mode. We won’t talk about her robot mode.

Hashtag

As with Arcee, vehicle mode is good, robot mode is not.

Wheeljack

Arcee and hashtag’s black roof works well for their vehicle modes, but on Wheeljack is sticks out like a sore thumb.

Overall: For completists only.

Thanks for reading!

About lmb3

I’m 36 years old, and I work in network tech support for a public school system. I am a huge fan of Star Trek, Transformers, Harry Potter, and Marvel Comics as well as numerous other fandoms. I’m a big sports fan, especially the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots. I collect toys (mostly Transformers but other stuff too), comic books, and Red Sox baseball cards. I watch an obscene amount of television and love going to the movies. I am hopelessly addicted to Wizard Rock and I write Harry Potter Fanfiction, though these days I am working on a couple of different original YA novels.
