>>10207245Robot mode, like I alluded to, is justthe helicopter standing up and throwing all the stuff on his back.
Barring the backpack this mode is probably the one that bares the strictest resemblance to Springer. With just the head swapped out and the shoulders unable to flare.
I just really like the look of this guy. the worst you can say about him is that maybe his les are a bit skinny.
Haven't mentioned Sandstorm's gun yet. Happily plugs into the top of either vehicle and both of his fists.
It's a push missile but not one that I'm bummed about. the gun fits nicely between your fingers and the tension gives the missile a decent launch too.
A couple of ankle tilts and Sandstorm would be able to dance with the best of the modern day toys as far as posability goes.
His head is on a ball joint with a good range of up and down movement.
Shoulders are on a ball and hinge. Swiveling biceps are connected to ratcheting elbows. Fists rotate and have a bit of inward flex too.
Waist and thighs swivel and the hips are on universal joints. The knees are on very clicky ratchets, maybe even too strong for the toy.
The one bummer I have is that his feel and heels are pretty loose now. Getting him just to stand was a challenge, but some floor polish should see to that.
>>10207247Springer and Sandstorm sucked all the potential goodness out of Blitzwing.
