TF: Position the rotors so they point up and fold the landing gear away. Split the under carriage in two under the helicopter. Pull each half out to the sides slightly, then fold the back of each side forward and to the sides so it's sticking out at right angles. Fold the sides back under the tail to form the legs. Fold back the covers over the top of the legs. Turn the lower leg so the back of the under carriage is sticking out the knee away from the tail. Fold the under carriage backs down onto the knee caps. Bend the bottom of the legs up to form the feet, and turn each foot 90 degrees in. Fold the cockpit down into the space between & under the wings revealing the head and opening the cockpit up to show the chest. The bottom of the chest clips into the top of the waist, which while it can be a struggle to fit at first will eventually lock securely. Fold each rotor to the side folding it's support under the wing. Then bring each wing forward at the robot's shoulder to form the arms - the upper arm having been pegged into the underside of the base of the wing. From there you pose the arms to your liking.
The robot mode shows much more of the Allspark blue than before: chest and shoulders mainly but also some on the upper legs, ankles and elbows. The upper arms & legs and the waist are the purple with the feet, lower legs & lower arms being the darker grey. The head is a wonderful piece of toy sculpture moulded in grey with a clear light piped visor and a face that's either a traditional face that's smirking or an odd Movie style face. The toy is dominated though by the hands which are the rotor blades. Unlike the similarly designed Minicon Makeshift the blades are fixed here, they don't fold in to form fingers. What the do do in robot mode is still turn - the tail is now extending out of the robot's back (as a tail) and the radar dish can be cranked making the blades for hands turn. What's really incredible is it does this through the arm articulation! Don't forget the rotors could already turn from horizontal to vertical, and have been folded into the forearm. The elbows bend, there's a bicep swivel joint, they bend out to the side at the shoulder, the shoulders turn and bend back. Through all that articulation is transmitted the motion powering this effect. I thought it good when I saw something similar on Movie Scorponok but here it's just incredible ! After that the turning head & hips - that also bend to the sides, rotational joint above the bending knee and bending ankle seem a little secondary !
An incredible piece of toy engineering. I wasn't going to pay £20 for it but it's worth that. The £12 many Entertainer's have been asking for it is a complete steel and if you've hated every other Movie toy (I have with just a couple of exceptions) can I urge you to track one of these down.
