He is a surprisingly small figure. He has a nice car mode which is die cast with rubber wheels. His rocker launcher fires the missiles but the trigger is sensitive and can fire randomly when touched. He has a simple transformation but take care that everything in car mode is lined up. His gun fits in his hand quite loosely so beware. On the windscreen he has moulded windscreen wipers which is a nice touch.

He is a good figure and is one of the originals from the ark to collect. A must to have if you can find him in good condition.
