Fall of Cybertron Kickback

Fall of Cybertron - My first insecticon after all these years. Although; there were third party company who produced not-Kickback, I was never interested to get one due to a lot of fact. Personally, third parties are expensive and they came in limited amount. But when Hasbro announced Kickback figure in conjunction with the release of Fall of Cybertron video games; I was amaze on the product picture. In the promo picture; Kickback definitely a must buy in my book. Here is a review of this figure.

Bio

As the leader of his own squad of Decepticons, Kickback is more independent than most of those under the command of Megatron. He uses his freedom to surround himself with friends, who he then blackmails into becoming his servants. - Sources from TFU.info

Insect Mode

I do love the insect mode from Kickback. So much evolve from the G1 mold into this bad ass looking insect. There is so much going on in this mode that even myself got me thinking that Hasbro does make beautiful design if they really work hard. The only drawback on this mode was that you cannot mount the big weapon on top of it. I did saw a few Google image that says so but I really cannot figure out how they did it.

Robot Mode

I got to be honest that Kickback is the most toughest things that I have to transform among the rest of my collection. I had to download the instruction manual (because I was a bit lazy to find the instruction on my collection of doom instruction box). The most toughest part to transform was the head area. It is so confusing.

Fortunately; despite the tough transformation process, Kickback is a wonder to look at. He looks just the way he looks in the video game. Evil and sinister. His wings can be joined to his weapon; creating some sort of effect. And both his wings can be use as a blade.

Conclusion

Kickback is a great addition to my WFC/FOC collection. He got beautiful paint job and very good looking design. A must have especially for fans of the video game. Sharpnel or Skrapnel was release this year. Unfortunately; he was released as a legend class. So the family of insecticons has yet to see some light. Until then; you can always enjoy the third party release.
