Over the past few years we have been getting Transformer toys based on increasingly obscure Generation One characters. While it’s pretty hard to beat Scrounge (a character from the Marvel comics who turned into a wheel and died) who came with the Combiner Wars Technobots, we may have a contender. This time it is a femmebot who was a background character with no lines in a single episode from a G1 cartoon back in 1985. So let’s say Go to the Amazon Prime exclusive Siege Greenlight! 
Robot Mode
Greenlight uses the same mold that was used by POTP Moonracer and Novastar before that. So there are probably few dedicated collectors who are unfamiliar with this mold by now. Besides the colour scheme, which is rather more striking than I thought it would be, the only change is a new headsculpt based on her G1 cartoon appearance – very 80’s alien from the future in its design. And she does look pretty cool sporting a shield and flaming sword.
Vehicle Mode 
Esentially identical to all her sisterbots, but once again the green really pops! And at least coming with a Targetmaster … er, I mean Battle Master partner, attaching her shield at the back makes it look like she has a vehicular battle mode. 
Dazzlestrike 
Dazzlestrike is a redeco of Lionizer. The figure is unchanged except for some white eyebrows, some green on the blade and blue eyes instead of red. These extra colours certainly make the figure stand out more than her brother.
Worth Getting?
Well it depends. If you are looking for a toy you haven’t seen before you won’t find it here. She also has a decent price tag, being an exclusive from Amazon Prime. However these are characters you wont find anywhere else and considering you get a Deluxe and a Battle Master figure the cost isn’t outrageous. Also if you wish to form the gestalt Orthia (review coming when 4th Femmebot released), the first female Combiner we’ve had since Megatronia, then Greenlight is a must have to join with Elita-1 and the rest. So why not fill out that extra gap in your G1-cast entourage and go get your Greenlight online today!
