Review: #617
Name: Avocando
Brand: Transformers
Allegiance: N/A
Line: BotBots
Year of Release: 2019
Size Class: BotBot (Series 3)
Mold Status: new
ALTERNATE MODE:
Avocando continues the trend of inventive and unusual alternate modes of Transformers, this time as a vegetable / fruit, an avocado!
The outer shell is made of soft plastic so it's quite squishy. It's also very small, above is a comparison against Legion Barricade.
There's nothing much more to this mode, it just looks like a good avocado. There's only one major transformation seam and you'll see why in the next section.
TRANSFORMATION:
Avocando is the ultimate shellformer. The avocado is a shell made of two pieces. Open the halves up and you reveal the whole robot, untouched.
ROBOT MODE:
Avocando's robot mode is neat in that it continues to run with the avocado motif, he has a torso that is shaped and colored like an avocado seed.
The two halves of the avocado sits on his back as giant wings. It helps keep Avocando upright, but they are on really small and soft balljoints so the pieces like to keep popping off.
The facial details are painted off and Avocando has a mischievous face.
Avocando is very short, he's smaller in robot mode since he has to fit within the avocado shells. Above is a comparison against Legion Crosshairs.
Poseability is very limited, you can only swing his arms forward and back. This is an average robot mode.
OVERALL:
Avocando is an okay figure. The avocado mode is really unique and something completely unexpected. It's letdown by a lazy one-step transformation.
