Transformers WFC Siege Micromasters Roadhandler & Swindler

About these figures:
          Roadhandler (in red) and Swinder (in grey) are both members of the Autobot Race Car Patrol.  Both were characters used in Marvel's The Transformers comic book continuity. In Japan, Roadhandler is the leader of the Race Car Patrol and all of the members are portrayed as childlike.

          Swindler is the physically weakest of the team, instead, relying on his intelligence.

Both characters had figures made in the 1988 G1 Hasbro line, and again as part of the 1990 Zone line in Japan.

Pros:

• Both figures transform relatively easily. 
• Swindler stands on his own with little trouble.
• Vehicle mode for both figures are very nice sculpts.
• Both figures combine together to create a weapon for larger Transformers.

Cons:

• Roadhandler is top-heavy in bot mode and has trouble standing without hunching over.
• Swindler's arms are very stiff at the shoulder joint making transforming a touchy situation.
• In their combined weapon mode they are very heavy and unbalancing to a larger figure.
• The ball joints in their legs can pop apart very easily. Luckily they go back together just as easy.

Final verdict: 

          Unlike the Decepticon cassette Micromasters, these figures just feel out of place when it comes to playability.  Their vehicle modes are cars like several of the Autobots, yet they are so small compared to even the deluxe class figures that they just don't fit in with the rest of the team.
They do however scale nicely with the titan class figures and look really cool when posed alongside Omega Supreme when he's in his rocket base mode.

          If you have Omega, these guys are worth picking up just for that reason alone if you can find a retailer that still has them.

          Just keep them away from titan class Decepticon Trypticon. Because they are crunchy and good with energon sauce.
