VEHICLE MODE
A tow truck from the Orson's Towing/Autobots fleet. Nice mix of white, blue, black, silver, red and clear orange in that mode. Perfectly clear windows. Truck is wide and low-profile, I like that. Tow thing has a decent range of movement and can tow Bumblebee with no problem (more difficult with Jazz and there is nowhere for the hook to lock to). I like the truck bed detailing, it gives the truck a more reastic look.
TRANSFORMATION
Another pretty cool/new transformation. Front of the truck becomes the legs and feet (you basically unfold the front end), cab is the torso, rear becomes the arms, weapon unfold from underneath. Sounds straightforward, but it's actually pretty fun and there is a lot of little steps to do, especially in the arm area. No automorphing here unfortunately.
ROBOT MODE
Very cool. Unique headsculpt with a little Autobot insignia on the forehead with clear orange light piping. Poseability is very good except for the arm carrying the weapon (gun is bolted tothe arm). Gun is quite big and heavy and has a lauching missile. Hands have 3 fingers each. There's a weird ball joint in the middle of the torso, but it helps getting nice poses. A bit of painted orange thrown in the mix on the legs as well. Robot overall looks very dynamic. Joints : head, neck, shoulders, elbows (2), hands, torso, hips, knees, feet. I can see some joints suffering from looseness eventually : heels, left elbow and torso, but maybe it will be fine, we'll see!          |

Anyways, like all non-movie characters (minus a couple real gears I might pick up) he's a pass for me.

It will join the ranks of my RiD Autobot Army since it doesn't fit in with the Movie guys too well. Thanks for the pics! | |
