Review: #549
Name: Duderoni
Brand: Transformers
Allegiance: N/A
Line: BotBots
Year of Release: 2018
Size Class: BotBots (Series 1)
Mold Status: new
ALTERNATE MODE:
Duderoni transforms into a slice of pepperoni pizza, this is a very novel alternate mode.
It can be hard to wrap yourself around a robot that transforms into food but anyway, it's basically a pizza slice shape that has cheese and pepperoni painted on top.
As a BotBot, Duderoni is much smaller than even a Legion figure. This is still a cool and pretty believable alternate mode.
TRANSFORMATION:
The transformation is a bit more involved than you'd expect. The tip of the slice folds out to form the legs, and these are on balljoints as you really have to wriggle and rotate them. The arms are a lot easier as they form from the thicker part. The face and torso is the underside of the slice so you just need to stand him up afterwards.
ROBOT MODE:
For such a little dude, Duderoni has a decent robot mode with great sculpting.
As you can see, he has most of the pizza on his back but that is forgivable for something of this size.
The face has a lot of personality but the quality of the paint applications may vary. The head is fixed and cannot be moved in anyway.
Once again, Duderoni is tiny, as above, Legion Crosshairs absolutely towers over him.
Duderoni has some decent articulation with balljointed shoulders and hips. A great little robot that carries plenty of personality.
OVERALL:
Duderoni is yet another winner in the BotBots line. The robot mode is surprisingly versatile while a slice of pizza is just so unexpected that it's very cool.
