Scavenger
(Transmetal)
Beast mode is a metallized
fire ant. A nicer mode than Inferno’s beast mode, that stands up a little
better (not particularly on its insect legs, but on its wheels on the bottom
of its bulb). The metal insect legs look very nice, and are pretty well-detailed.
Some people mistake this for an Inferno Transmetal,
and it was originally intended to be one, but was changed to a different
character for some reason. Almost no robot extras, save for the obvious
appearance of the robot head on the front of the abdomen.
Vehicle mode is his
ant mode with his head turned up to reveal two large drills, and his wheels
on the bottom of his bulb turned out. This isn’t much of a vehicle mode,
though. One of my main problems with this mode is that you are supposed
to push the insect legs up a little, and it makes the main body of the
mode look like one big jumbled mess.
Robot mode is very nice,
but it has a LOT of extras on his arms. He has his halves of his ant faces
and all six of his insect legs on his arms, which get in the way a lot.
Other than that, this mode is a good one, with an almost demonic face and
little drill-wheels on his back that look like they could be little propulsion
jets for flying. He has a little shell on his back, but this doesn’t get
in the way much. He has kind of skinny legs, but he can still stand sort
of easily. I only wish he had actual hands, however, instead of just drills.
A nice mega transformer,
but a bit heavy on the extras in the vehicle and robot modes.
