Transformers Studio Series Core Class Steeljaw
Interestingly, we get a new backdrop here. Featuring Blaster’s Autobot City comms tower interior. It’s too bad Hasbro didn’t give us a proper larger version of this backdrop for the Studio Series 86 Blaster and Eject set backdrop (we got “Decepticon Shuttle Ambush” yet again instead)
There’s proper orientation when it comes to getting Steeljaw to fit inside Blaster’s chest cavity. Supposedly, this is how it’s supposed to go in according to TF Wiki. While I did find this orientation does make Steeljaw fit in smoother, any other position does the trick with some wiggling.
An unshakable tracker, Steeljaw is one of the best at hunting down Decepticons who don’t want to be tracked (particularly one feline Decepticon cassette). Thanks to olfactory sensors that can reach a range of up to 800 miles, Steeljaw is the perfect counter to any Decepticon sneak attacks.
Due to the new optional parts gimmick, Steeljaw’s “wings” are attached separately, along with his original guns.
Steeljaw comes with his Twin solar-powered pellet guns. As the name suggests, these guns lose much of their effectiveness in during night time.
Optional “giant golden megaphone” weapon.
The megaphone can also be attached to Blaster’s wrist to simulate his weapon from the G1 cartoon series. There’s supposed to be two though… maybe we get another when we get Ramhorn down the line?
With Blaster and Eject.
Overall, a pretty decent piece. The transformation is pretty unique and I like it. Just remember to take note of how to place Steeljaw in cassette mode into Blaster’s chest cavity.
Now to wait for Hasbro to release Ramhorn and I think we’re done with Blaster’s tapes for the most part (unless Hasbro somehow figures out a way to give us a “solid plastic” version of Rewind).
