In the 80′s this toy was known as Octane,which is what I will call it in this review.Octane was a Triple Changer back in the 80′s with a plane mode,a tanker mode,and a robot mode.Here Octane is reimagined with modern toy mechanics and posability.He still retains the three modes and he looks very much like his G1 self in all three.Usually with a Triple Changer,one mode is always weak,and here that standard is shown with the Tanker truck mode.He has a great plane mode though,as well as an awesome robot mode.For armament he has two guns,but I took one and gave it to Sideswipe.He also has a bizzare comb-like “Melee Blade” which is not used much by me.Overall,I’m glad the triple changer concept is being re-imagined,and here is one of the best examples.

Here we have Octane as Generation one fans know him. He was a triple changer in the 80′s and it is very nice to see a well engineered triple changer from modern toy manufacturing processes. All three modes are nice but the truck mode needs work. The meele blade is interesting but not so great. Overall a B+ for this figure. Good toy with room for improvement.

It has long been gone that how I wished to have this figure since it first came out. Visited several stores, taking a chance of getting one, but did not… until I ordered on-line. It was not a single regret and made me happy to finally have this figure on hand since it was way better than the G1 figure. I had the G1 figure still in the box and a loose figure as well to compare. All I would say is he had a better transformation compared from before. I loved this figure… I highly recommend you to get one. I bought an extra to keep in the original blister case to go side by side with my G1 figure. Great figure… Hands down once again to the figure designer!
