Maketoys Axle Review (Bot Mode)

Maketoys' Axle is an homage to Transformers G1 Protectobots' Groove. I was hesitant to get this figure, but it was too late to cancel so I really didn't have much a choice. Now I'm glad  I got it. The figure is bigger than I expected, and has more articulation than pictures I've seen show. The waist has a ball joint giving Axle a bit of torso articulation. Which.. well is better than nothing.  My only complaint is the fragility of the handlebars. The right one snapped while trying to pose the right arm. I glued it back and place it way from the shoulders too avoid future breakage.
