Phil's Beast Wars Fuzor Terragator Review


Terragator

Terragator is a Crocodile with a Turtle shell. Well it says it's a turtle but to me it looks more armoured dinosaur with lots of spikes round the edge. The beast is green with a brown shell. It looks quite nice, but the shell has a tendency to come off and needs remounting on the robot arm underneath which causes problems as the claws on the end of the robot arm which form some of the spikes round the shell rim don't quite line up with the rest so you're thinking the shell's in the right place when it isn't. Jaw opens in this mode and front feet & rear legs are ball jointed.

TF: Remove the shell exposing the two arms running either way down the beast's back. The claw at the back is attached to the tail - remove the tail and set aside with the shell. Fold the exposed robot legs ending with the beast feet behind the beast. Fold the waist piece under the beast, turn so the screw on the waist and the robot head are on opposite sides. Slide towards the front of the beast a little. Unpeg the claw at the front of the beast and fold down the shoulder panel at the back of the beast. Swing the connected arm down. Fold the arm connected to the beast head up and then turn the beast head through 180 degrees so the arm hangs down. Fold the head up. Peg the shell onto the non beast head arm as a shield. Fold the gun barrels out of the tail and peg into the other hand.

A surprisingly complex TF for a basic resulting in a thin but good looking robot - I suspect he and Neo Sling are related somehow ! Much of the exposed robot parts are blue including the legs, body and upper arms. Legs are ball jointed at ankle, knee & hip. The waist and the neck turn. The beast head arm rotates at the shoulder, folds to the side and has a ball joint at the elbow. The shield arm has ball joints at shoulder & elbow and bends at the wrist.

Decent basic harmed slightly by the shell not staying in place and being hard to attach in beast mode.
