cliffbee com transformer toy reviews scattershot cliffbee com scattershot toy review home individual review name scattershot series generation 1 allegiance autobot function technobot leader alternate mode futuristic space cruiser space cruiser mode height 8 5cm length 17cm width 17cm a red maroon white space cruiser with a small blue bridge towards the front of the craft big red wings at the rear and a set of small grey twin cannons about halfway back he s tapered with a cylindrical nose at the front and wingspan at the back as well as a central tower and one to match on the bottom basically think of a dart and you get the idea on top of this tower we have a small maroon radar dish which can turn with a little effort i m often critical of transformers who have alternate modes not based on any real vehicle since often it s something of an easy way out a lot of 1988 pretenders fall into this category scattershot may be purely made up but he _looks_ like a giant space cruiser the bridge at the front gives him the impression of being sufficiently large the rear of the ship has two circles the rockets the stylings work in his favour also he s got quite a few stickers placed around him adding to the technological feel on either side of the central tower there s two small moulded sets of cannons which are painted silver over white plastic what impresses me most about all this is the fact that these small things are deliberate there s no bridge and no cannons at all on the underside there is an undercarriage however while this may not seem unusual consider that the grey central cannons are on his hand in robot mode and the other hand on his underside doesn t have them these things have been specifically added for this mode he has a rubsign the 1987 version anyway in front of the grey cannons and an autobot symbol on each wing which face towards the centre for some reason the front section as mentioned is cylindrical there s a grey button just behind the bridge which when pressed causes the two halves of this cylinder to open to the sides and a grey gun to push forward it looks suitably like a final assault weapon this cannon is not actually meant for cruiser mode as such since it s part of the battle emplacement mode but it works well in this mode incidentally when you fold the halves back in the cannon slides back in automatically overall this is an excellent alternate mode it s got play value by virtue of the cannon up front and the attention to detail in this mode really impresses me the colours don t grab me all that much but they work fine and co ordinate with the other technobots transformation to battle emplacement mode fold down the rockets them fold in down the wings press the button behind the bridge to reveal the cannon battle emplacement mode height 10cm length 19cm width 10cm like pretty much ever other scramble city torso snaptrap and hun grrr the exceptions scattershot has a third base mode as with the others it s pretty obviously an add on unlike the others it s worthwhile he s basically a giant battlefield cannon that d take two or three smaller technobots to operate i think the cannon works for two reasons firstly unlike the 1986 combiners he s not a concorde truck whatever trying to be a base he s a non earthen vehicle being a giant gun second he s a gun not a base so there s no add on ramps and no need to try make a flat platform so someone can park there thanks to the fact he s basically a long shaft on legs he looks like a gun emplacement it also means he can point up and down to a degree although he s not really meant to the hip joints are in just the right spot for this any further forward and he d be a gun butt swinging up and down any further back and you d have a front heavy gun with a tendency to tip forward transformation to robot mode from cruiser mode fold the undercarriage up swing the nose about 45 down then swing the rocket wing assemblies forward twist the centre section 90 to the left then swing the nose section right back and swing the legs down fully fold the wings back fold down the chestplate pull out the hands position the arms pull the head up you can give him his handgun and place radar dishes in his shoulders one should be there in his left shoulder from cruiser mode anyway robot mode height 18cm width 9cm the red maroon white carries into this mode and the small amount of blue that he had on his cockpit is carried into this mode although it s his face that s blue he s got maroon shoulders boots a red groin chestplate and red forearms hands the head torso and thighs are white he s got a lot of stickers from his kneecaps to his waist to his elbows scattershot is taller than most scramble city torso sections he towers above the other technobots in fact his lower legs which look like boots as i ve alluded to play no part in computron he s also quite blocky in this mode with two blasters on his left hand these two combine with the size to make him look rather powerful his poseability is probably his weakest feature his knees hips bend though the wings hanging off the back of his legs make sitting poses impossible there are three joints on each arm but only the shoulder joints make sense the others are only there for the transform his waist can swivel 360 but it s limited by the nosecone on his back this nosecone and the waist joint had made scattershot somewhat famous actually if you fold down the nosecone and twist the waist 180 scattershot s suddenly _very_ happy to see you what makes this even more phallic is the central post that shoots out when you press the button the nosecone is disproportionately large for that part of the anatomy which makes it worse still for adult fans i guess this unintended feature adds a bit of comedy to scattershot despite his sexual prowess scattershot s robot mode is pretty good there s no real flaws as such although the poseability is ruined a bit by the nosecone wings attached to this mode i wouldn t go so far as to say they get in the way of the robot mode since he has pretty good poseability for 1987 anyway and they re not hanging off the sides or tipping him over but they are there affecting play value a little variations the 1987 version has a rubsign indent on the centre of the cruiser groin of robot mode the 1988 version does not overall a good toy with a terrific cruiser mode i especially like the attention to detail paid in this mode he definitely avoids the problem of being a block that hasbro define as something he _looks_ like a space cruiser he s also got a strong robot mode and a worthwhile third mode which is unusual for combiners and then there s his comedy value all this and he joins with the other technobots to form computron basically a toy that s well worth getting 9 10 transformers and other indica trademarks of hasbro and or takara
