Review: I found through research that there are only 2 small differences between this and the original - When I was a kid I wanted this particular transformer so much that it was unhealthy. I begged my parents for this for about 3 months before Xmas. I kinda knew what to expect because one of my childhood friends had one, and showed it to me. When Xmas finally came I got the transformer Grimlock instead. That wasn’t bad but wasn’t as good. Now that I have it at 40 something years old I can’t put it down. I watched a number of YouTube reviews on this while waiting for it to come in the mail. The 2 differences on appearance are that the buttons in front waist are a little different (I think better),and the the decipticon emblem on his chest is not a rub sticker. You can see that on the picture. Otherwise every thing is the same as it was in the 80s. The buttons on the front are NOT cheap looking. Bust most important for me is the feet are still made out of metal. If your a very serious collector the small differences might be a big deal (I could understand) But then you would have to buy either the Toys R Us reissue or the Comic-Con anniversary reissue. Those cost MUCH more(about a hundred dollars)so am very Happy with what I got. Best of all Buzzsaw is neater than I thought he would be.
Review: Great replica of the original - I had the original toy back in the day. This is a great replication, I’ve got it displayed and it makes me smile every time I walk past it.
