Toy Review: Transformers BotBots Ollie Bite (Series 2)
Review: #593
Name: Ollie Bite
Brand: Transformers
Allegiance: N/A
Line: BotBots
Year of Release: 2019
Size Class: BotBots (Series 2)
Mold Status: new
ALTERNATE MODE:
Ollie Bite has a novel alternate mode, transforming into a cap, although the robot's mouth is noticeably the top of the cap.
It looks pretty good from most angles and there aren't that many gaps or transformation lines either.
Above is a comparison against Legion Barricade to show off Ollie Bite's smaller size. Nevertheless, this is a neat mode.
TRANSFORMATION:
The transformation is simple and you find out the reason why there aren't that many transformation seams. It's because there isn't that much happening. The front of the cap folds back to form his tail, you can then flip down the legs and pull out the arms from beneath the cap. Finishing off is pulling his mouth open and moving the top of the cap back to act as a shark fin.
ROBOT MODE:
Ollie Bite's robot mode is not humanoid based, and it gives off a Sharkticon thanks to the fin on top and the sharp teeth.
The tail is massive and sticks out the back. It can act as a third leg although he is able to remain standing without using it as such.
The whole thing is the head and Ollie Bite lacks eyes.
He remains very short and small in robot mode, above is a comparison against Legion Crosshairs.
Poseability is very limited, you can only swing his arms forward and back, that's about it. Ollie Bite has a unique robot mode but low play value.
OVERALL:
Ollie Bite, despite being static in both modes, has enough novelty from both its mode to be worthwhile to own.
