Come on! This guy is obviously supposed to be Wheeljack! Downshift? Yeah right!

This guy is one of my oldest KOs. He comes from a time when original Deluxes were RM49.90 ($10) in Malaysia. Downshift here is a KO and cost RM15 ($3.75) when I got him way back in 2007. Or 2008? Around then. Most of my KO Energon figures came from around that time.

Onto the KO itself! Downshift actually has nicer, thicker feeling plastic than my other Energon KOs. But his tolerances are awful. Seriously, his arms favourite thing to do is fall off. His guns could not attach to the spoiler and thus have been lost to time. Honestly, apart from the loose joints and bad weapons, Wheeljack still holds up. Oops, I mean Downshift. Downshift still holds up. He’s missing a lot of posability but he still looks good.

I don’t feel like I need an original copy of this guy but at the same time I wouldn’t mind one. Either way, this Downshift is getting some joints tightened!
