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.
