Toy Review: Transformers: EarthSpark Tacticons Wave 4 and 5 (Twitch, Starscream)

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.

Twitch

Crap in both modes.

Starscream

Starscream looks okay in vehicle mode. Robot mode is passable.

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.
