Build Typhoon & Build Cyclone are two toys that share the same basic structure, transformation and articulation. However there's not a single major piece that is exactly the same on both toy, moulding differences are everywhere. Like the other two standard size Build team members he has a name referring to a storm that rotates which is in a way prefiguring the usage of these three parts in the combined form.
Build Typhoon is a four wheeled truck cast in yellow plastic. The cab is central at the front under the front of the tipper box (I checked to see what it was called !) which does actually tip up on this toy.
TF: Pull down the back of the truck being careful not to extend the robot's hips contained within. Lift the tipper box & connecting arm up. Rotate the tipper box & cab round so the back of the tipper is hanging off the front of the vehicle. Turn the tipper box round 180 degrees. Fold the feet up from their position curved over the top of the toy and fold the heel spurs down from under the toy. Stand on feet. Fold the front wheels and the panels round them out to the sides, then fold the lower arm then the hand down from there. Bend the piece attaching the tipper to the vehicle back over the front and under the vehicle. Turn the cab round so the hinge on the bottom is at the front of the vehicle/top of the robot. Open the cab up, fold out the head and close the cab.
The robot looks very similar to Build Cyclone, but in yellow and with grey exposed robot parts. The head is yellow with a silver face.. His wrists bend, he's got ball jointed elbows, shoulders & hip. His knees bend and his head turns. The tipper box can be removed from his back and mounted on a hand either as a shield or as an opening claw weapon.
Good solid toy, giving a nice chunky robot which is almost what you feel you need from a construction vehicle.
Build Typhoon is Car Robots toy C-020 and also appears in the Build King giftset numbered C-022
Heavy Load was only available individually carded - there was no Landfill boxset. The initial release of the Build Team & Mega Octane in the UK was an exclusive to Woolworths, but further (imported ?) stock later materialised in Toys R Us.
This version of Heavy Load is only available in the Landfill giftset.
Longhaul is mainly green with a purple tipper box. The Decepticon symbol is transferred to the cab roof looking forward which causes problems in robot mod because it ends up upside down (See G1 Starscream's wings on reissues ad nauseum)
Apart from that it's a fine repaint. I'd have perhaps made the tipper box green as well but ....
