I’ve always stood by the fact that this is the best G1 style seeker to be released. Not that it is inherently better then the others in every category, but rather if you upscale it to a voyager or even a masterpiece (obviously adding what they could at those price points, not just straight upscaling) you could probably make a 99% perfect seeker body. Like I think anything this thing doesn’t do is because of size and everything it does do at the size is super impressive. Hell it even has an accurate back with such a simple, intuitive transformation
