This is a fun little duo that homages many eras in Transformers history. Definitely worth the pick up

Megatron does have a head swivel. If you look at him from the back, you can see the post. It's limited due to his neck cowling, but it's there.

Otherwise, great review. And I also highly recommend picking this set up.

Ah yes, mine might be frozen due to paint or the fact I have giant fingers and it's a small space. It's funny I ended up enjoying this set more than I thought, Chop Shop really delivered HUGE in the fun department.

Yeah, he's definitely the winner for this wave for me - at least of the accessory Bots. And I think he's in perfect scale with Megatron. Kinda bummed that the upcoming Sharpshot (read: Shrapnel) is going to be the same size as Megs, though. I would have preferred that all of the Insections be the same scale (or at least mirror the scale of their G1 counterparts). But I guess that idea was blown up when they did Kickback as a proper deluxe.

Scale was a ghost I gave up a long time ago when it comes to Transformers. From what I've seen thus far they might be using the smaller scale to do more straight G1 updates while deluxe is for the comic packs.

Preaching to the choir, good sir.

I was just hoping that they could do it within the same sub-line. But you'd think after almost 30 years of collecting these things, I would know better. But my inner child remains a consummate optimist, which can be really irritating at times:

"Aww, it's not in scale."
"Why are we upset about this? They're hardly ever in scale because of price points, budgets, blah blah blah...."
"Maybe the next one will get it right. "
"Shut up, you."

My inner child just hopes they don't fall apart in my hand like they did when my inner child was, uh, outer.
