Toy Review: Transformers BotBots Sardank (Series 3)


Review:
  #621
Name:  Sardank
Brand:  Transformers
Allegiance:  N/A
Line:  BotBots
Year of Release:  2019
Size Class:  BotBot (Series 3)
Mold Status:  redeco of Big Cantuna

ALTERNATE MODE:


Sardank is a colorful redeco of Big Cantuna, and transforms into a half opened can of tuna, with the tuna head sticking out.


It's weaker than the original color scheme due to the neon green and metallic gold used.


As a BotBot Sardank is very small, above is a comparison against Legion Barricade.  The sculpting and idea is good but the color scheme is a tad bit too unrealistic.

TRANSFORMATION:

Transformation to robot mode is fun, as the tin pretty much splits into quarters and form the four limbs.  The tuna head then become the robot head.

ROBOT MODE:


Sardank has a great robot mode, mainly due to the bulky powerful proportions.


Furthermore, there is no kibble, which is quite impressive at this size.


The tuna head doubles up as the robot head, so that adds another unique aspect to the figure.


Just like alternate mode, Sardank is tiny, above is a comparison against Legion Crosshairs.


Articulation is one of the best within the BotBots line, purely due to the balljoints used for all four limbs and the head.

OVERALL:

Sardank is a great mold, but the color scheme leaves a lot to be desired.  If you haven't gotten the mold already, then Sardank is a satisfactory substitute, but the original Big Cantuna is better.
