Spittor
Beast mode is a frog.
Looks very nice from the top up. A nice coloration mix makes this frog
look poisonous. His robot legs on his bottom side make this frog look fat,
though, and get in the way of the beast legs. The articulation on this
mode is pretty good, with his mouth, front legs, and back legs all able
to move. A lever on his back can make his tongue (his robot head and neck)
stick out of his mouth, and alhtough this is a nice touch, the head is
pretty obvious.
Robot mode is freakish.
He has extremely short legs, but extremely long arms! His frog front arms
are stored on his back, which sort of get in the way. His frog head also
sticks out a bit more than I'd like it too. He has no weapons in this mode,
which is kind of disapointing, but he can still fire his head up, which
makes him looks like a robot with a giraffe neck. The articulation and
detailing in this mode is very good, one of the best I've seen in the original
Beast Wars basic transformers.
If articulation, detailing,
and playability are more important to you than a freakish robot mode, than
I recommend this toy for you. If you think looks matter more than the three
qualities listed above, then I'd skip out on this toy if I were you.
