So for those who read last weeks review here's the answer to the question I asked, Here's the Left Arm.
Bonecrusher is the subject this week, he transforms from a bulldozer into a robot, he also forms Devastators left arm. He's cast in the same green plastic as the rest of the Constructicons as well as some black. No purple plastic on Bonecrusher though. More on that later.
He's got sculpted details all over, they're pretty much on par with the rest of the box set.

In his bulldozer mode Bonecrusher is VERY green. The rest of the Constructicons have some purple and black on them somewhere, Bonecrusher is just a sea of green. His treads, his dozer blade, everything. Is. Green. He does have some paint apps to break it up a little but they don't do much. Speaking of not doing much Bonecrushers alt mode doesn't do much at all. The dozer blade can move but that's probably more because of how it transforms than anything else. there really isn't much to say about the bulldozer mode. it's a neat little mode but it doesn't do anything.
Transforming Bonecrusher into robot mode feels natural but for some reason I keep forgetting to swing the head out before trying to clip the back and chest together.
it's not often I get to use this line but....
I have problems working the crotch.
During transformation you clip the crotch together, mine doesn't clip very well and I'm not sure what's causing it.

It might be the clips, it might be the black hip joints. One part sits inside of the other but they don't clip together. They sit well enough even if they're not completely flush.
Bonecrusher is yet again very green. He has some paint apps, mostly in silver, that help break evrything up. It doesn't do a lot of breaking up though.
So much green....
The head is yet again a nice representation of the G1 look.
He has the best articulation of any of the 6 Constructicons, ankle tilts, tight shoulders, ball jointed and hinged elbows and he's even got a waist joint if you don't fully clip the back stuff together. The only thing he lacks is clearance for his head ball joint. He can move it but he doesn't get a lot of range for it.
Bonecrusher usual has one of the missile pods that form Devastators hands for his weapon. It feels right that the guys who are the arms get these weapons. the bright side is that Bonecrushers shuoulder joints are tight enough for him to hold the weapon up. I have him carrying it as a underslung weapon, being a missile pod it looks right this way.
Bonecrusher is a decent figure, much like the rest of the set, it doesn't feel like he suffered to much because he's in a box set. Maybe if he'd been an idividual release figure he might have had some more paint apps but that's about it I think.
Next week I talk about the last of the individual members of the team as the Devastation continues
