Transformers Legacy Evolution CrashBar review.

Welcome folks. It's been a long time, almost half a year since I did a TF review. I finally got around to doing one. TF Legacy Crashbar everyone! Without delay, lets get started!

Boxing

Your standard cheap as heck boxing. No plastic windows. I had this guy in his box prison for nearly half a year. Time to let him out. *Note: I'm not sure if it's because I was late to the party, but I couldn't scan his QR code. It would bring me to a Hasbro profile select screen. When I scanned Legacy Bombshell, it worked fine so it could possibly be a time issue. The profiles get taken down after a small window of time. That is dumb if that is the case. *

Crashing the party

So this guy is very light and a weaponizer. To a degree he can split his limbs altogether for a gimmick that is shown on the box. You can even take his arms off which is not shown here in this review, but I stumbled upon it by accident. As a figure, he is a little too small and light. And because his limbs can come off, he comes off very loose at times. Where he shines is his weapons gimmick. Look at the pics and see for yourself. One of his wheels can come off as a bladed weapon. He was a very fun to toy around with. Use your imagination here. As for his design, I like it. Once again, wish he was voyager size or something.

Bah Gawd! Say this in the Jim Ross voice! This guy was a difficult transformation. Without the instructions, I struggled forever. Another motorcycle for the Junkions as expected. The only drawback is that he is very small once again. Just look at the Devcon pic. Imagine putting 86 Wreck-Gar on this guy. Yeah, that ain't happening. There isn't much flexibility in this mode except it looks decent and his front wheel can be angled to your liking. The seat can be stretched forward a little giving it an elongated feel. This mode, once again, is loose as well as the parts can come off fairly easy.

Conclusion:

I'm not a big fan of the weaponizer gimmicks usually but I was impressed with Crashbar. I have yet to pair him with his fellow Junkions, so see that in the near future. My biggest complaint is pretty much CB being light and loose at times. That Motorcycle mode was a pain in the butt to transform into I'll reiterate here again. Overall, if you can look past some of these faults, CB is a fun figure to play with and he will serve nicely in your post G1 Junkion collection. Laters.
