Drag Strip

I love the universe Mirage so much that I never bother picking up any other repaints of this figure despite I never like their paint
schemes besides Mirage. Recently there was a news about Marshalls (a very unexpect place for me to find transformers) carrying
universe special edition figures at a low price $9.99 each which is a normal deluxe class price couple years ago. So I went there
and luckily found all of them. So I picked up Drag Strip and Overkill.
 
Drag Strip is the repaint of Mirage. He is purely yellow with some red on the body and purple head and blue face. His alternate
mode is as sleek as Mirage but Mirage stands out better because of the customizations I believe. His body just has too many
empty spots that I think I am going to customize my self with stickers. Race car just does not look right without numbers and
letters.
 
Being a specail edition, he is really not that special. The purple looks kind of strange. I know this is what his colors are in G1,
but still....... Other than the color, he is everything the same as Mirage. Anything Mirage can do, he can do also.
 
Transformation: 8 - Same as Mirage. Only some places are tighter or looser.
Fun: 10 - He moves just like Mirage. Having both of them can have great posing/fighting scene.
Display: 9 - Copy paste from Mirage. Only thing is his colors.
Value: 10 - $9.99 for a not-so-special special edition from Marshalls. Think about how much the internet charges for the USE
now. This is a sweet deal.
Overall: 9 - Overall as good as Mirage (same problem also). The only complain I have is the color.
