Arrow Slave's CAPBOT decepticon review.

Hi there!

I just receive a nice lot of TF toys in the mail, so I decided to make a few reviews that I haven't seen on the net so far... so hopefully it's all exclusive reviews you guys are getting!

First up: Decepticon CAPBOT (I only bought the decepticon one... I'm a decepticon kinda guy lol)

Here's the Video Review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPkYu3ijX0Q

Not much to say, it's a cap, that transforms into a robot.


Here's the back of the Cap:


Midway through spring loaded action:


After the spring loaded action is done, this Jesus-bot pose is what you get

(yes that is a scott towel... my table is black, this dude is black... I improvised, ok? lol)

I'm pretty surprised by it, lotsa detail for a tiny robot.


With the flash we can see a little bit more of the details


Close-up of the super cool "grunt" head sculpt


From the back he seems pretty armored


But as you can see from the side, he has little to no back pack beside the 2 plates (front of the cap)


The big "duck feet" really makes him very posable


My only complaint is that since he's a shell-former, and spring-loaded... it's hard to align all the panels back into Baseball Cap mode... the pannels dont hold very much together... I think its for ease of the spring loaded action that the panels dont hold very much... but it sure doesnt help at transforming him back into Cap mode.

But overall... I really dig this guy. Yes he's a Novelty... and he's about 25$... not cheap for a tiny figure... but he's of great quality, super cute, very nicely detailed... I still Highly recommend you pick it up!

I would have bought it with a Megatron head (just like what they did for the transforming Nike shoe), but as it is, it's a pass, I already got the Prime version.

I pre-ordered both from Automaton but I am waiting for MP Soundwave to come in first.

Very cool. I have Prime and Megatron Nike shoes from a while back. I think I'll pick up Prime for this mold.
