Toys Studio Series Deluxe Class Dark of The Moon 94 Decepticon Hatchet 4.5-inch Converting Action Figure, 8+

Considering the last Hatchet figure Transformers fans received, this is a proper and much-needed step up. It follows the same mold as the other Dreads while staying true to their design, including an accurate alt mode that maintains the same replica as the others. As someone who recently started collecting, I don’t regret picking up this figure. He looks fantastic, and despite being on all fours, he’s surprisingly posable given his unique shape. The only real downsides are the tail falling off and the car door pieces on the arms. However, both are minor issues and easily tab back into place.

Honestly this is a pretty good figure. Yea the arm and tail do like to fall off and it has some pretty bad car kibble but it’s still pretty good if you don’t mind the flaws it has. My only complaint is the head can move it only spins slightly.

Considering we never had a proper Hatchet figure up until now (outside of the Legends class figure back in the day, but it turned into a jet) this is a great first attempt. The sad fact is it has to transform into an equal size SUV like Crowbar and Crankcase, but the figure is not that bad. The tail is a separate piece that has to be plugged in but that doesn't bother me personally. Also the arm kibble does come off the front arms constantly, but a little squirt of superglue fixes it, otherwise there's no QC issues on my copy. Nothing loose or prone to fall off. Only recommend if you're a Transformers fan and want a Hatchet figure purely for your collection as a completionist. Curious if a 3rd party company will attempt him.

Our Grandson is going to go crazy when he gets this for Christmas

This is a cool toy, however, some of the pieces fall off too easily making it flimsy.

Real transformer. One of my daughter favorite ones.

He's not the greatest. Certainly unique but really kind of a let down. He could've benefited from more engineering and QC. His arm pieces from the car mode pop off too easily but I guess they could be glued in. But his robot mode leaves a lot to be desired. If you need to complete your dreads trio, go for it, he's honestly not horrendous. But if you're just looking for a good figure, pass or wait for a clearance.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: My son loves anything transformer wise so I got his this for his birthday and he loves it!!
