Brawn

Mistransformed in package - the shoulder joints are folded down to the waist and the arms are pointing up. Start by folding the arms down and out to the sides, then bend the shoulder joints up and finally rotate the arms down.

Brawn's not been blessed with that many versions over the years.This one captures the basics from the animation model: round head, green arms and lower legs, orange chest, grey upper legs. The head looks odd - it's only when I looked at TFU's G1 Brawn page that I realised the problem - the face on the toy is black where it should be white or silver. Ball jointed shoulders & hips again. He's got bending knees but they only bend the wrong way as part of the TF.

TF: fold the arms so they point up. Bend the legs up, fold the waist back. Fold the arms and shoulders down to waist level. Fold the arms in so the hands are beside the head. Peg the feet together and fold the lower legs down to become the back of the vehicle.

Solid Jeep/SUV type vehicle with the backs of the legs showing through the roof resembling equipment stashed to the roof rack. All four wheels on the car plus the spare (all in black) turn.

Decent vehicle. Nice to get a less used older character back.

Brawn is a Universe Legends Wave 4 toy. Brawn was sold in Japan, slightly recoloured, as Gong in the Henkei C-18 Minibot Attack Set with Cliff(Cliffjumper) and Beachcomber.
