Review: #565
Name: Driver Ted
Brand: Transformers
Allegiance: N/A
Line: BotBots
Year of Release: 2019
Size Class: BotBots (Series 3)
Mold Status: new
ALTERNATE MODE:
Driver Ted transforms into a ride-on motorcycle arcade game which is a really unique alternate mode.
There's some sculpting at the back as well that helps sells the machine.
As a BotBot, Driver Ted is very small. Above is a comparison with Legion Barricade.
TRANSFORMATION:
Transformation is very simple The two motorcycles pulls down to form the legs. The arms pop out from the sides and you open the front into halves and reveal the head.
ROBOT MODE:
Driver Ted has a equally unique robot mode. Due to the sculpting of the motorcycles in alternate mode, he has slim feet and can be prone to falling over with a simple knock.
He has the halves of the alternate mode's screen as kibble but they are angled like wings, giving him a distinct silhouette.
The headsculpt isn't so much as a head. During transformation, you open the monitor... to show another monitor. The face still works well though.
Above is a height comparison against Legion Crosshairs.
Poseability is very limited. Only his arms swings forward but this doesn't diminish how unique he is.
OVERALL:
Driver Ted is another great mold in the BotBots line. He has a one-of-a-kind alternate mode and a lovable robot mode.
