Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Set of three robot Figureures change into awesome rescue vehicles and back again! Includes STRONGARM, DIVEBOMB, and FIREBOT Figureures. Ages 5 and up.

Product Description

Intending to flesh out the Classics continuity, the Mini-Con Night Rescue Team carry an overall Defensor semblance---and are most likely able to apply their rescue techniques during the day as well as night. Strongarm is the police vehicle, stout and durable as a robot. Divebomb is the helicopter, with an extremely nonlinear robot mode. Firebot (a name once allotted to one of the Playskool Go-Bots) is the fire truck, with heavy shoulder plates and arm-mounted cannons. The character description for the Night Rescue Team cites the youthful disposition of the three Mini-Cons and the inherit fearlessness that comes from their inexperience. Theyâ?TMre known for headlong dashes into the heart of danger, dutifully going that extra mile to get the job done. Putting the T-E-A-M in â??teamâ?TM. Going for the gold. Giving 150%. Doing it their way or no way at all.

3.0 out of 5 stars Two bricks and a fragile piece, February 22, 2007

This review is from: Transformers Classic Mini-Con 3-Pack - Night Rescue Team (Strongarm, Divebomb & Firebot) (Toy)

You can always trust for there to be emergency vehicle Autobot, and now they have come to us as Mini-Cons.

The fire truck, FIREBOT, is the best of the three. It's not hard to transform, as long as you remember that what the hoses are attached to are the arms and they need to be pulled out before you do anything else to transform the bot. For a Mini-Con it has nice poseability in robot mode, especially in that you can move the hoses/guns to different positions.

STRONGARM is a brick that poses as a police car, and is very hard to transform. There is nothing intuitive about the transformation, and you'd better have a mini-flathead screwdriver handy to pry open parts, and hope that you are prying the right places. Even if you get it into robot mode, it is nothing special.

DIVEBOMB is the helicopter. The piece under the canopy will always be falling off the main robot. The transformation is an "interesting" experience, having to manage transforming everything at once with its legs and arms, and in robot you have the main copter blade being a beanie.

They tried too hard to make inventive transformations, and the robots suffered for it. If it wasn't that I like emergency vehicle Transformers, I would have probably rated it a 2.
