Toy Review: Transformers BotBots Moldwich (Series 3)


Review:  #609
Name:  Moldwich
Brand:  Transformers
Allegiance:  N/A
Line:  BotBots
Year of Release:  2019
Size Class:  BotBot (Series 3)
Mold Status:  repaint of Angry Cheese

ALTERNATE MODE:


Moldwich transforms into a moldy sandwich, and it looks like it has gone off for a long while.  It's green with gooey stuff in between the two layers of what was once bread.


It's a small figure give that it is a BotBot, above is a comparison against Legion Barricade.


While not the most appealing of alternate modes, it pulls it off fairly well.

TRANSFORMATION:

Transformation is very simple.  Open the shells to reveal the arms.  You can then pull the legs down and then flip down one more panel to reveal the face.

ROBOT MODE:


The robot mode is okay.  Half of the alternate mode is not transformed to become his head.


Due to the shellforming nature of the figure, the panels just stick out to the sides and back.


The face is painted on and gives Moldwich more of a mischievous feel to its personality and character.


Moldwich doesn't gain much height in robot mode, it's much much shorter than a Legion figure.


Articulation is extremely limited.  Only the shoulders can be moved around and even then, there's not much range.  As a robot mode for looking only, Moldwich gets a pass, but in terms of play value, it's very limited.

OVERALL:

Moldwich's biggest appeal is the fact that it transforms into a moldy sandwich.  The robot mode is passable but it isn't the strongest mold to have come out of the BotBots line.
