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.
