Death's Head
27-08-11, 06:31 AM
Sounding for the all the world like a villain from He-Man, Manterror is a slightly demented looking creature, all toothy grin and unwieldy limbs. He has the look of a 'bot that's not quite right in the processor and it's easy to imagine him dancing around his enemies before taking them out. His slightly slender, awkward appearance renders him as something of court jester to Megatron's Predacons. He is, in short, a toy with 'character'.
The beast mode is a nice looking affair, all bright greens and translucent blues, highlighted with dabs of orange. The legs are a little stumpy, unfortunately, but its a very good likeness of the real thing - particularly the awesome head! There's not much in the way of articulation aside from the front 'arms', but with disc firing action - who cares?!
Manterror has a really nice transformation sequence, all twists and turns and twizzles to get a robot out of that svelte beast form. It's nothing complex, but does make you go 'ooh, that's clever' . At least it did me. Easily please, you see...
The robot mode represents a high watermark in terms of articulation and posability for the line. His arms, with all those ball joints, have an incredible amount of movement and reach. For the most part, the feet will keep him stood upright. Only stretching the (very long) arms out will cause him to topple over. Add in a very cool disc launching mechanism - no springs here - and you have one of the best figures of the line, despite his unconventional appearance.
