After more than ten years sitting in the back seat, the leading role in G1 UK version and the G2 comic book – The Bludgeon is finally having a proper toy.
Initially when the toy arrived and played with it for a while, I was a bit disappointed. My thinking was the designers traded off some features for the rotating tank turret.
However, after carefully reading the instructions, it was found that the second weapon is hidden inside the turret. And the tank barrel becomes the holder of Bludgeon sword. There are also two holes at the side of the tank, this made the toy looks even more like Japanese samurai warrior.
The only complaint, Bludgeon’s face is a bit friendly. Not evil enough.
Weapons and equipment: Long sword (slotted in tank Gun Barrel), a smaller knife that can slot in at Bludgeon left hip.
Mech Alive features: Lift the knees up and down will rotate the mechanical parts on Bludgeon thighs.
Alternate Mode: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Tank mode make reference to the German Leopard-2 Tanks, the turret can rotate 360-degrees. (classic 2.0 Galvatron should burst into tears)
However the barrel can’t lift up or down.
The treads are made of rubber, but in order to take care the younger toy players, auxiliary wheels are also added in.
Turret fence, additional armor, laser range finder / sensors, engine cooling and other details are available in the tank mode.
Rotating turret is equipped with a machine gun, and two missile / grenade launchers on both sides.
Movable Level: ★ ★ ★ ★
The head can turn left and right, the shoulder can lift up and down, two elbow joints, No waist movement, the thigh can move front and back, as well as left and right.
Overall Bludgeon has good of mobility.
Transformation Difficulty: ★ ★ ★
Normal transformation difficulty. Process is a bit similar to Animated Megatron toy.
Color: ★ ★ ★ ★
Excellent color, although a bit plastic feeling.
CONCLUSION: Highly Recommended."
