MACHINE MODE
Length: 12cm
A recoloured Machine Wars Megatron/Megaplex. Mind you,
it's a really nice recolour. It's yellow and black: nature's colours of
danger! Many venomous animals, including some who wish to fool others into
thinking that they're venomous, sport these colours (wasps, hornets, certain
snakes, etc). There's also a purple Destron insignia
on the right tail. The cockpit is transparent pink.
TRANSFORMATION
Same as Machine Wars Megatron/Megaplex. Just flip down the
nose and everything else automatically goes into place. The two halves
of Thrustgun are stored in a cavity behind each lower leg section.
ROBOT MODE
Height: 10cm
Articulation: 9 points
A repaint of Machine Wars Megatron/Megaplex. The most
noticeable difference is that the translucent "glowing" optic gimmick works!!
(they were vestigial in the Machine Wars figures) As light enters through
the top and back of the head, the eyes glow bright pink. Neat!
RUB STICKER LOCATION
Under the left wing. Note that this wing has been slightly
remoulded with a small square indent where the sticker rests.
OVERALL
Nice looking toy with decent playability. An improvement
over his Machine Wars counterpart.
