Well i was in my local The Warehouse and saw this guy (Well bout 10 of them) just sitting off to the side of the Transformers, i just had to get him to compare him with my Classic Megs.

Marshal comes with two light effects and one sound effect, when you pull the trigger a LED at the front flickers for a while, and three coloured LEDs on one side of the gun spin round and round, and a fan spins on the other side.
Now the sound effect starts when you pull the trigger too, i only lisened to the sounds once, then took Marshal apart and ripped out the speaker!

On the box you will notice that he is Die Cast, though the use of metal is limited to only parts of the handle and parts of the muzzle (the very light blue parts are the metal), he was NZ$14.98 and..well here are the pictures of him:-

In package font, back

Alt mode, with Classic Megs

Robot mode front, side, back,
with Classic Megs.

I must say I'm impressed with Marshal, yeah he has a simple transformation and a blocky looking robot mode, but the build quality of this guy is better than the other robots in this series, and really, how many gun transformers do you see nowadays?

I really like the gun mode! That head is the same head that's on all the KO Alternators I've seen and have. :lol:

Yeah thats what i liked, NZ's toy import laws must be different , but he doesn't look much like a real gun anyways, so no need for a orange tip :-?

That is one fugly robot mode. But if he was a G1 Transformer, I'd probably love him. Go figure!

I thought that I'd post a picture of what Marshal looks like with the lights going, now its not a very clear picture, but it gives you an idea of the lights on this guy.

Let there be light

It's nice to see somebody is trying to make toys like they did
20 years ago. That light up feature is cool. Now if it only shot sparks....
