Toy Review: Transformers BotBots Knotzel (Series 3)


Review:  #553
Name:  Knotzel
Brand:  Transformers
Allegiance:  N/A
Line:  BotBots
Year of Release:  2019
Size Class:  BotBots (Series 3)
Mold Status:  new

PRETZEL MODE:


Knotzel transforms into a pretzel.  Once again, the wacky alternate modes of BotBots continues to amuse.


He only looks from from up top as he is quite thick and you can clearly see the robot legs on the underside.


Knotzel is very small, above is a comparison against Legion Barricade.


A pretty cool and unique little guy.

TRANSFORMATION:

Unlike some other BotBots, Knotzel doesn't have a clever transformation.  Actually, his transformation scheme is rather lame.  You literally unfold him and you're done, :(.

ROBOT MODE:


Despite the one-step transformation, Knotzel's robot mode carries some charm.


While it may look like he is top heavy, he actually stands quite stably on his two tiny legs.


A lot of the paint went into the face, and Knotzel has a smirk hinting at a playful and cheeky personality.


Knotzel is also tiny in robot mode, above is a comparison against Legion Crosshairs.


Articulation is limited to swinging his arms forward.  Nevertheless, this is a charming robot.

OVERALL:

Knotzel, despite being one of the weaker BotBots, is still quirky and cool.  So even if you get him, you don't feel disappointed.
