So on my way home I have come across this figure, which was on sale, and got it for relatively cheap.
The plastic quality is good, the joints are tight and even the red chest is die-cast. Hell even the paint seems to be solid. I didn't expect the quality to be this good when I was getting it.
The transformation is also nice but the proportions are slightly wonky but when posed it can look great... only for the robot mode, the dinosaur mode's chest is noticeably hallow.
I have also discovered(?) a third mode for a combiner(?) set. What I assume is, this Sludge can turn into an arm. The legs definetely form a forearm and hand with a dino head thumb but I just couldn't figure out what to do with the torso since there is nothing about this in the instructions.
All of this got me thinking, this thing is a bit too elaborate for what it is and the way it transforms (like how the tail stores in the back/torso) it lead me to think it is based on another design/toy. From what I have searched I just couldn't find anything and figured asking this general.
