Waterlog's Minicon socket is underneath the vehicle in the middle of the toy. He's automatically earning points by providing a missile launcher upgrade to a larger toy. His shape is different to all the other Sea Minicons - they all have a prow which gives them a sort of upside down triangular look when mounted on a flat surface. Waterlog tapers as he goes up so looks much better. As a bonus Waterlog can be reversed so the fans at the rear are facing forward appearing as if they're some form of weapon too.
TF: Fold the back of the vehicle down hinge in the middle - so it's pointing down underneath the rest of it. Fold the back - this time using the hinge at the bottom - down to form the lower legs. Fold the fans out to the sides and down to form the feet. Fold the cabin roof out to the sides to form the arms with the missile launcher mounted on the right arm.
Our robot's stability is helped by having big feet but he still needs leaning forwards slightly. He bends independently at both knee & hip, the head turns, the shoulders shrug up at the body and have a ball joint connecting them to the arms.
Decent hovercraft, add on and robot. My only quibble is the colour balance on the toy - doesn't look too good to my eye.
Original Review:
"These should not be good. They're boats, they're a brick orange colour, and they've got lilac missiles. And yet somehow they're great ! The ball Missiles help....
Waterlog
The Hovercraft. Again the back folds down to form the legs BUT THEN the fans rotate from the knees to become the feet. The cabin splits in half to form the arms - taking the missile launcher to the right, and the remaining front of the skirt folds down to become the chest. No elbows this time but we get a neck joint here. Fun again.
I dunno, I just like these 3 - I think they're fun and work better than you think the missile launcher on a boat idea should. "
The new colours help to emphasise that Waterlog is in fact a Minicon version of Seaspray. In fact two of the three Sea team Minicons (Waterlog & Oceanglide) have obvious 1985 Minibot connections. The third (Stormcloud) is perhaps less obvious but when you have the other two you should be lead to a certain name for the remaining toy
Much improved.
Original review: "The business. A purple that matches Tidal Wave, and makes the boys look rather evil. Get them "
Freeboot has blue & red painted highlights and is packed in DVD volume 8. Not my favourite version of the toy.
Hover has some pale blue highlights on the top of his cabin and on the deck. Hover is Micron Booster V1 toy number 8. The name Hover is a good one for this toy !
