Transformers Toys Generations Legacy Deluxe Decepticon Wild Rider review

 

Aloha folks, I am back finally with another review. It took me some time to due a hectic work schedule and rest period. Finally mustered the strength to pull this guy out whom I had in weeks and did a shoot with him. How does he fare? Well, let's find out and let's get started!

Boxing

His bio and specs are now online. Not sure why they just can't print it on the instruction manual. Pretty soon the manual will be too be online I bet. The box came smashed from Hasbro Pulse when I bought him with Wheelie. Once again I might as well wait and get free shipping with Amazon if I am paying for nearly smashed goods.

Wildrider himself

I don't know much about the Stunticons except for being G1 fame. Wild-Rider looks great; almost identical to his G1 look. His backpack looks a little on the bigger side but I ain't complaining really. He comes with dual rifles that can be paired up to make one big gun. You can peg the dual weapons sideways if that is your cup of tea. You got tilts on his ankles and a waist swivel as usual. 

My only real gripe is that he feels very light. This is what we get now for pay $25 plus shipping once again on these upscaled (it feels like it) core class figures which will only get pricier down the road. Well, moving on...

Alt mode

Fairly easy to transform from robot mode to alt mode. It did take me some time but overall, he's not difficult to transform at all. I do love the red transparent windows which is his trademark window color. Beats seeing the same black/blue windows from other characters all the time. I sense a mushroom peg covering coming for this guy for his back wheels... or it's already probably here since I'm reviewing this guy a little late.

The third limb

Menasor is an all American! Yeah, I actually didn't realize it during the photoshoot until I edited the pics. I think Prime would be more fitting, but anyhow here is Wildrider as the left leg. Very easy to put on. It literally closes the flaps on his front shin. However, I turned the legs around because there are some people that prefer it this way with the cars in the front because some artwork depicts him like that. Your mileage may vary and that is it. You can put him on the right shin and he fits perfectly fine if that is your forte as well.

Final words

Well, we got the third Stunticon member and he is not bad at all. Just too light but that seems to be the direction we are heading now. Cheap and light plastic and higher prices! He plays fairly easy and well and isn't a difficult transformation. Also, not hard to place on the Menasor limb. Imagine if you needed some very small screwdriver to place him on like how you place Dragstrip. Can't wait to finish this guy up and hopefully soon. Anyways, have a nice day folks and see you real soon.
