    I’d chuck this out of a window if I were a child and given this as a present… utter trash.

    I've tried out some more of the Rescan toys, and only the cars fit, but most only just squeeze into the wing compartments... but the tail compartment just wont fit two Rescan toys of any size.
    Those Flip Racers are a lot smaller, so you'd be able to fit several of them in the three compartments.

    Also here is the transformation, which is close to what you'd call a 1-step changer - by folding up the chest/nosecone (which swings up the arms as they are fixed to the main body) and then straightening out the wings.

    I forgot to include the photo of the box back, so have added it here too.
    (edit - Actually, I already did post up a photo of the box back in post #58)

    With all the ramps and such it feels like there is some failed attempt at a Star Convoy like base mode in there somewhere as well? Why would all those ramps be in there otherwise if it's also not a carrier toy as it can't hold anything?

    Nice!

    These would be for my kids' Flipbot Racers so I want this. Hope it's for sale online soon.

    I mean this has as much play value as Titan Metroplex!

    (yeah I'm still bitter that ramp can't touch the ground by default.....)

    Got mine today. For what it is, it's ok.

    With other Rescue bot "Titans"

    Holds a decent amount of Racers

    But yeah, this ramp function is dumb if it's securely clicked in. Cars drive straight into the ground.....
