Transformers Generations Mayhem Deluxe Groove Action Figure | Transformers Generations Combiner Wars 6 Inch Action Figure Deluxe Class - Groove

It's great to finally complete the Protectobots and replace the second rate stand in 'Rook'. If only Blast Off could get the same treatment.

Very reasonable price, arrived on time in great condition. Happy that my Defensor has all it's proper limbs now!

Hard to find in Europe Deluxe version of Groove. Nice figure, solid joints. Loves good on the Combiner wars Defensor to give him a G1 look. Good price for a hard to find figure.

Really good figure to get if U want to complete your Defensor combiner figure with the original characters. Really good robot mode & bike mode & combiner mode

Belle finition

Gli appassionati sanno quanto siano belle le trasformazioni dei Transformers. E' un Combine quindi può essere assemblato insieme ad altri (5 in totale con questo) per fare un robot più grande. Nello specifico questo Groove nasce come gamba destra di Protectobot.

One G1 figure that was left out of the lineup was Groove. What a shame it was too. It seems like Hasbro made the choice of not creating the gigantic motorcycle for the Protectobots, instead going with the new character Rook. Instead, they made Groove a much smaller, more inscale Legends class figure. That did not sit right with a lot of people, since Groove was one of Defensor's legs way back in 1986 when the Combiners first appeared. While we were getting a tiny version of Groove here in the US in 2015, in Japan, they were getting a really great version of Groove. Finally in 2016 the US got their Groove with some strange release methods. In a strange turn of events, the back of the packaging says Protectobot Groove is a part of the Sky Reign team. Umm, his name is "Protectobot" Groove. What are they thinking? Of course he is a part of Defensor and the Protectobot team. Crazy I tell you. At least they show him as the correct appendage. Straight off, Groove looks great. He is well detailed, and has lots of good paint apps. White, gold and silver make up most of his coloring with touches of black here and there. He comes with THREE guns. He has two blasters, equipped with police lights on the top. He also comes with the hand/foot gun that has the dual gatling guns. From the back, you can see he is definitely a motorcycle. There is a bit of a backpack back there. As we have seen many times before, there is not really a great place to hide a motorcycle's front wheel. Transforming him is about as easy as the rest of the Combiner Wars figures. They are all pretty straight forward. Groove looks great in bike mode. He is about the same size as Wreck-Gar, so while he is out of scale with the rest of the vehicles, it allows another robot to ride him. I cannot get over how cool the guns are. The red lights are the best. At the bottom, the gun handles are clear, so they are probably not supposed to be there when in bike mode. They would have blended in better with the bike without the handles sticking down there. I think that is a Tomy touch that carried back to the US and the Hasbro team. There is a lot going on here at the front of the bike. This could have just been a sticker or a splash of silver paint, but this is a Tomy motorcycle, so there is a painted light, with clear plastic over it. He has a blue windshield, and clear red lights on the side. These are such fantastic fine details. As with most of the appendages for the Combiners, there is not a lot of parts to move to go from vehicle to body part. The legs are generally the easiest of all. As with the others, Groove can become either an arm or a leg. He was a leg back in the day, so a leg he will be again. Finally Defensor can be put together the right way. Rook has been omitted from the line-up. First Aid moved from the right leg, to the left arm, and Groove took his rightful place as the right leg. All is right with the world.

Diese Figur ist sehr gut gelungen - ich war anfangs etwas skeptisch, ob sie stabil genug gebaut ist für Kinderhände. Ist sie. Ohne Zweifel - sie überseht auch so manchen Absturz ohne weiteres. Das Umbauen funktioniert hervorragend, die 10 Schritte sind schnell erledigt, auch Kinder haben damit keine Schwierigkeiten. Darüber hinaus ist Groove flexibler, als man auf den ersten Blick denkt. Bei einigen der Zwischenschritte kommen Figuren heraus, die sich in das Spiel der Kinder einbauen lassen, auch wenn die Figur erst »halbfertig» sind. Ob dies von Hasbro beabsichtigt ist, kann ich nicht beurteilen, aber Kinder sind da ja zum Glück flexibel. Groove ist für Sammler ebenfalls sehr zu empfehlen, der Roboter ist ein echter Hingucker in jeder Sammlung. Mein Favorit ist jedoch das Motorrad. Es ist der Hammer! Die Details sind sehr gut herausgearbeitet. Im Vergleich zu anderen Figuren ist das Motorrad etwas groß geraten - die Größenrelation stimmt nicht. Darüber kann man jedoch problemlos hinwegsehen, da dadurch ermöglicht wird, dass kleinere Figuren auf Groove reiten können - eine tolle Erweiterung für jede Sammlung. Darüber hinaus kann Groove als Teil einer großen Figur verwendet werden. Fünf Protectobot Figuren ergeben eine Combine Figur, wobei Groove wahlweise als Bein oder Arm eingesetzt werden kann. Insgesamt eine tolle Figur, deren Kauf sich für jeden Fan lohnt, egal ob groß oder klein.

Sure, the scale make no sense. But who care for an oversized motorcycle when you can PROPERLY complete your Defensor?
