I'm an adult nerd and Doubledealer was one of my favorite Transformers when I was a kid, even though his major points of articulation were that his elbows bent. Really - that was it, his robot arms bent at the elbows.When I saw a new Doubledealer was coming out, reengineered and based on the original, I scheduled in this splurge and preordered him.He's got some new things going on and he's very satisfying. There's a grey piece with some stabilizer struts or something that you can see in some of the figure's photographs - it's involved in some connectivity gimmick with other figures and was clearly a design afterthought, since it does nothing important or graceful for the figure. Since it seemed poorly considered, I'm going to consider it poorly and say it's mostly negligible. Otherwise, he has a few new accessories in black plastic, like a pair of missile pods, some sort of surveillance/tracking/guidance device, and a gun/cannon. They're welcome additions in an otherwise sparse but nigh atomic arsenal, which consists of a massive missile that can split into a less massive missile and a very bulky rifle, much like the original issue.Doubledealer transforms admirably into each of his classic forms, but better. That's about all there is to this Doubledealer - he's everything the ancient Doubledealer was, but better. They had the technology, they could rebuild him, they did, and it was good. Notable casualties in this update include Knok and Skar, the original Power Master engines that accompanied the old Doubledealer. A notable engine chunk can be found on this reimagined Doubledealer in memorial to their loss.The only goofy parts going on with Doubledealer are some awkwardness with stowing the purple wings of his big robotic vulture bird form. There's a new point of articulation here that doesn't quite fold up nice and neat like in the original.Otherwise, I have only good things to say about this Doubledealer. He has met my expectations for a modern Doubledealer.
