Transformers Legacy Evolution Bombshell review

Greetings and for the third day in a row, but will take a break after this, is Legacy Evolution Bombshell. Here he is finally to complete the Insecticon trio. How does he fare? Let's find out and let's get started!

Boxing

Finally got to merge the two boxes into one pic.

Bombshell!

Bombshell in the flesh. He too has a evo gimmick based on triple blasters which can be formed into one. From what I heard he is a retool of Shrapnel. Especially on the legs. It's very similar. No problem on my end. If there is a problem, its his arch-head. His head cannon is sculpted on it, but if you look at the arch from certain angles, it just looks weird with this gaping hole in between the arch and the top of his head. You can even push his arch back if that is what you prefer. You can also toggle his head cannon in certain degrees to your liking. You can put weapons on the back of his shin, but by doing so you will have difficulty bending his knees. Toggle the weapons any way you can. You can actually stick a gun below his forearms making look as he is firing a forearm cannon. BS plays fine overall. Nice joints and swivels. BS doesn't feel light at all and I kinda wish he was a little taller with his buddies but I think they were short in the show, so I guess there is your accuracy.

Rhinoceros Beetle

Easy to transform into. His double mini guns form part of his feet so BS is limited to his silver gun on this mode. Looks impressive for a Rhinoceros beetle. I like how he looks bulky in this mode in comparison to his Insecticon brethren.

But first! Fan mode!

As some of you know, there is a Insecticon train mode fans are trying to mimic. I found one off of Facebook. I take no credit for this. I am just re-creating the mode for entertainment and blog written purposes. I forgot to take the credit down to whom influenced me to do this. So big shout out to those who came up with this mode.

The Insecticons!

Here is your comparisons. You can mix and match their weapons as always. My favorite is BS using KB's blades as skates in alt mode. Use your imagination once again. Just remember to have fun. It's nice to have the trio together now. Who is your favorite? I think they all have their ups and downs.

Conclusion:

Besides the weird arch-head at times, BS is a nicely sculpted figure to finish off the Insecticon ranks. The Insecticons are easy to fiddle around with and we finally got some deluxe, G1 updated versions of them. Enjoy!
