To be bluntly honest, The way these lower legs were executed was a bit of a mess. all seems good until you reach the lower legs. Everything above the lower legs is pretty standard CHUG deluxe carbot fare, with a head swivel, universal swivel shoulders, bicep swivel, elbow bent 90 degrees, waist swivel, universal hip swivel joints, etc. When it comes to posability however, there are some problems. I especially really like how cleanly-done the silver trim on his torso's safety belts is, and unlike Armada/Micron Legend Starscream this figure doesn't suffer too much from having half of the vital paint apps omitted just straight OOB (Even if having just a tad bit more paint apps would've been nicer) He's certainly recognizable as the character he was meant to be, and sculpting-wise there's quite a bit to like here. In robot mode, it's obvious that this toy was meant to be another take on Armada/Micron Legend Hot Shot in a CHUG scale figure form.
When it comes to packaging, it has a pretty similar aesthetic to Legacy's first-year packaging, with the exception that the Legacy Evolution logo takes the pace of the original Legacy log, and the color scheme as a whole now features more blue and green all over instead of Purple. With the rumor that Armada/Micron Legend Hot Shot getting another chance in Legacy and with all of the lessons that HasTak might've earned in the last 2 decades since Armada/Micron Legend come out, would this might just be the very best Armada/Micron Legend Hot Shot toy that CHUG can do? Spoiler alert.
For perhaps one of the most recognizable characters from Armada/Micron Legend, Hot Shot's track record when it comes to toys has been a mixed bag at best With his OG toy being somewhat of a fun but awkward clunker that almost everyone seems to hate, and his next major toy in Universe 2.0 while had some admirable ideas on-paper is, unfortunately, the exact opposite of the OG toy in all of the worst way possible.
