Finally got the new Chromedome/Rewind two-pack via BBTS (the store that always gets MMC bots last), and it's highly recommended. (Also got their Helex from the DJD, but the review for him is The Last DJD Guy I Needed, at which he is 100% of that criteria.)

The engineering on Chromedome is incredibly smart, where the conversion process is intuitive and rewarding. Everything clicks into and out of place, providing a tactile reassurance that you are doing things correctly. There's enough steps to make it something you focus on, while never being cumbersome enough to need a break in the middle. It's a nice snack of a diversion, and my favorite toy of theirs since Rodimus.

It's a crazy articulated figure, as well, if you're more into having a nicely expressive robot for display purposes. He actually comes with molded hands to hold with Rewind, which is all you should need to know about how aware MMC was of the need to get the Robot Husbands set right. (There're also an alternate head for Domey, mnemosurgeon hands, and other types of hands that aren't strictly about his love or pain)

The Rewind figure is fine. He feels like a glorified (but crucial) accessory for Chromedome, where the transformation and alt mode have a shrug of Did He Ever Even Transform In The Comic. It's an okay conversion, but definitely nowhere near the ease and brilliance of the Chromedome one.

can i go back to work now or what
