Transformation - Jet to Robot: Stand on back of tail with underside facing. Fold tail and nose forward 180 degrees so the nose becomes the robot chest. Fold the wings back, the arms up and the tail down on the robot's back.
An OK enough robot mode as a figure. He beats the other "fold back the wings" plane - Tailwind - hands down by having shoulder articulation but then looses out to most other Micromasters by having no knees, just bending hips.
Transformation - Aircraft Carrier to Jet: Fold the command tower into the side of the boat. Turn the runway halves out to the side to form wings. Turn over. Fold back the guns & the jet tail between them. Remove the guns and peg into the wings facing forward. Fold the front landing gear down.
Of the three Micromaster Transports that form Jet vehicles this one feels the most like a plausible jet mode. Although it's a little hard to identify the jet with one original Transformers character, the carrier/jet was a little more obvious. I remember seeing it first as a 15 year old - in the old WHSmiths in Kingston, now the Entertainer - and thinking "this is Broadside, without the robot mode". Flattop can stand in the cockpit of his jet via a floor peg or can sit down with the lift up plastic bar over his legs just like an amusement park ride. The wings fold back into an arrow head shape during transformation, but the can then be swung forward again if you like making this into a working swing wing jet.
Overall: Decent plane and robot with a nice TF. A not often used mode for the transport and the best of the three Micromaster Transport jets for it's Alt mode. Well worth a look.
Flattop was sold in Japan as a Cybertron(Autobot) Seawave where he was Transformers Zone toy C-340.
