The back leg is in 3 sections - the first black one is connected to the hip by a ball joint, the second blue one is connected to a ball joint at the knee and the third - the flipper - is connected at the ankle by a simple hinge. The front legs are fixed apart from a ball joint at the shoulder. He has an action feature in this mode - press a trigger on his back and a battering ram like tongue shoots out of his mouth.
TF: Turn the robot over. The robot legs are folded up underneath the beast with the feet facing together just behind the jaw. Fold them out the back of the frog and straighten. Fold the beast head down to form the robot's chest. Fold the shoulders for the beast back from the robot chest and fold the beast forelegs across the back of the toy. Fold the beast hips up - they're connected by a strut to the centre of the robot's body - so they become the shoulders and the legs become the arms.
Resulting beast shows off a lot more black on the robot's chest, waist and upper limbs. He bens at the ankle - mine bends a bit too much and won't stand up properly - with ball joints at knee, hip, shoulder & elbow and another bending joint at the wrist - however the hands are the huge rear flippers and it's hard to pose them in such a way that they look right. The head is the same clear blue - it's the tip of the battering ram in beast mode. If you trigger the action feature now the head extends about four centimetres into the air - he's the Mechaneck of Beast Wars !
They'd got more experimental at this stage of BW - both in form and in gimmick. Spittor suffers a little because of this. The colours aren't right, the gimmick is so so but means he lacks a hand weapon (and proper hands) On the plus side the frog is a nice addition to the list of beasts available in BW.
Spittor would return as a blue Transmetal 2 frog. Diver
Straight repaint - opaque pale green for blue and white/grey for black. He gets a new metallic green paint pattern on his back. Solid realistic repaint (see repaint rule 3) Transmetal Video Spittor
"Found the video repaints in TRU Woking this morning.
Thing is they're not Airazor and Razorclaw - like the US got. We've got Clawjaw and Spittor. Clawjaw is green with blue tentacles, Spittor is red.
Both are on TM Cards with their original illustrations, but Spittor is this time labelled as a Predacon.
The videos are just a cassette with a plastic inlay over the top. Clawjaw's tape is labelled BW Episode 27 and the tape does indeed contain Aftermath. Spittor's is BW Episode 28 so I'm assuming it's Coming of the Fuzors 1.
12.99 each".
Spittor swaps the blue for red, keeps the black and gains a yellow/orange circuitry detailing on him. The repaint looks nice (are there red frogs ?) Curiously when TM2 Spittor was recoloured as Slapper in Car Robots/Robots in Disguise this was the colourscheme they used ! So this is effectively BW Slapper !
