TF: Fold down the panels on the side of the insect. Pull the robot feet & legs out and fold out behind the insect. Close the panels. Fold the robot arms out from under the insect body out over the panels at the sides. Fold the stinger out and fold the beast head down to form the robot's chest (oh dear - that stinger has ended up in an unfortunate position) Fold the wings out to the sides, unhook the back panel, fold the robot head up and close the back panel. Place the blades from the larger wings in the robot hands.
Resulting robot is rather good - you'll see worse in the Tripredicus box ! Ball jointed head, elbows, shoulders and hips, a bending join and a ball joint at the knee and a bending ankle. The green and revealed white and purple work quite well together. My one complaint is the head has a green square in the back of it - obviously an abandoned light pipe gimmick !
You'll see worse BW dlx toys than this.

Of the three Tripledacus components D.J.is the closet in colour to his US counterpart: Green becomes olive green, white becomes silver and purple becomes a brassy gold colour.
Looks nice. This is quite hard to find individually now, possibly due to D.J. being the only one of the Jointron Brothers (as the Insecticon combiner was known) not to be reissued in Japan !
