I own this figure and it's my personal favorite of the 3. FansProject made these Insecticons...."Nin-Secticons"...if you will, and took their own approach. Backfiery transforms into a bad ass Grasshopper. While Thundershred and Stormbomb were a bit bulky, Backfiery is thin, sleek and fits the profile of a ninja. The Kunais (throwing daggers) attached to the outside of his grasshopper legs are a nice touch. He has plenty of them at his disposal too! And before anybody asks, yes the wings can be posed in an upward position in robot mode.

it's too bad they lack the chrome. but they are by far superior to their g1 counterparts

The Reprolabel sets for these guys add the "appearance" of chrome, so that'll have to be close enough, I guess. And agreed. They kick the shit out of their G1 counterparts.
