Maybe that's a lack of attachment to the character on my part, maybe it's because I love well articulated Transformers or maybe it's because they're continuing to take the piss with pricing. But she's definitely limited in range of movement and can't honestly say that she justifies her pricepoint. A great feeling, wonderful looking figure. I've managed to get her looking up but it feels like I'm playing with fire.Īnd some comparisons with various Voyagers and Deluxes. Articulation is standard for the day, although ankle tilt is limited (and she really needed a forward toe tilt), waist heavily compromised by the backpack and head movement essentially limited to a swivel. Robot mode is bang on the money, colours are gorgeous and enhance a strong, dynamic looking sculpt. She's also slathered in paint, which aids her aesthetics massively. I can't lie though, it is a clever and enjoyable transformation. Where she differs is that engineering wise, Hot Rod is leaps and bounds superior and many Deluxes have a better range of motion. The result is a toy that just feels a cut above many of her peers. It's also used in thicker slabs than on him as well. It's a glossy, solid affair with none of the softer flexible type to be found on her. On those materials, her plastic is essentially identical to another smaller Voyager, SS86 Hot Rod.
Vehicle mode is kinda weird and kinda awesome, as it should be. Initial thoughts on this one are that this is a lovely Deluxe figure elevated to a Voyager pricepoint because of the exclusivity of the Velocitron line and maaaaybe because she's made of sterner stuff. Definitely uses Autofill with a name like that.
