PROS: Hasbro revisits the upgraded Destroyer Droid from the TAC line with a slightly different paint job and a recast of the deflector shield remedying its transparency issue to some degree.
CONS: You still can’t “transform” the droideka into is rolling mode and you only get half of the deflector shield. The figure’s interaction with the shield is a bit clunky but overall it serves it’s purpose. Despite Hasbro efforts to recast the shield in a more translucent plastic, it might have been better to carry the previous shield color forward to avoid having mismatched complete shields.
