Transformers Studio Series 86 - Core Autobot Steeljaw

The transformation from robot lion to cassette mode is surprisingly smooth for this scale, and the metallic paint really makes the fur details pop. He looks perfectly at home alongside other Core Class figures.

I was pleasantly surprised by the solid die-cast feel on his paws, which gives him a nice heft for such a small figure. The robot mode's head sculpt really captures the movie look perfectly, and the lion mode locks together cleanly without any loose tabs.

He transforms way easier than I expected for a core class figure, and the lion mode actually looks surprisingly good for something this small. The cassette detail in robot mode is a nice touch that makes me want to grab more of the crew to display with him.
