Toy Review: Transformers BotBots Spud Muffin (Series 1)


Review:  #567
Name:  Spud Muffin
Brand:  Transformers
Allegiance:  N/A
Line:  BotBots
Year of Release:  2018
Size Class:  BotBots (Series 1)
Mold Status:  new

ALTERNATE MODE:


Spud Muffin transforms into a box of french fries, which to be frank, is quite an awesome alternate mode.


There's a dash of red on the front but the back has nothing other than white.  Apart from sitting on the table like this, there's nothing else that he can do.


As a BotBot, Spud Muffin is really small, above is a comparison against Legion Barricade.  Nevertheless, a cool alternate mode.

TRANSFORMATION:

Spud Muffin has a simple transformation.  The french fries flip back to reveal his head, you pull out the sides to form his arms and then flip the legs down from behind.

ROBOT MODE:


Spud Muffin's robot mode does a good of job differentiating from the alternate mode.  The french fries looks better than you'd expect as a helmet.


There's a little bit of kibble on his back which was required to allow the french fries to fold back.


The face details that's painted on looks good, with the visor and a nice smile.


He's still fairly small in robot mode.  Above is a comparison against Legion Crosshairs.


Poseability is limited to swinging his arms, but that's easily forgiven for something at this price point.

OVERALL:

Spud Muffin is a great little figure, like most of the BotBots line, really.  He has an unique french fries mode, and a cool robot mode.
