Transformer Legacy United Chromia recently released here in Canada. A retool/recolour of the Animated Prowl mould, there were many people happy with this choice and after playing with the figure I understand why.
The robot form is pretty robust. Typical articulation for a Mainline Deluxe class figure, but due to transformation this figure has great ankles, an extra joint between the knee and the foot, as well as the ability to fully tilt the head upward, allowing for prone poses and other deep poses that require that type of articulation.
What's weird to me is that the two hands aren't given the same grip, so while the left hand easily grips the Throwing Star weapon, the right hand you need to flip it around a bit and find that right angle.
Transformation into robot mode is a decent challenge, though for me, part of it was a tolerance related issue and that last step of shoving her foot into the front of the motorcycle mode. Note - you will absolutely need to get all the pieces fully tabbed in, because the kickstand will do bupkiss unless things are JUST right.
Paint is the usual minimalist effort, though one can argue the less applied the less to screw up. In this case that certainly holds true, with absolutely no paint at all on the throwing stars. Build quality is not bad, as is most Mainline figures these days.
