Name: Batterhead
Brand: Transformers
Allegiance: N/A
Line: BotBots
Year of Release: 2019
Size Class: BotBot (Series 3)
Mold Status: repaint of Dumbeats
ALTERNATE MODE:
Batterhead transforms into an orange drum kit. It is a great sculpt and immediately recognizable upon first glance.
The back falls flat a bit due to the need for the robot legs to store there so it is exposed and leaves a gap.
This is a clever mode that holds a lot of charm purely because of the alternate mode that was chosen.
TRANSFORMATION:
Getting Batterhead to robot mode involves flipping down the legs, pulling the arms out from the sides, and then flipping the panel in front down to reveal the face. It's easy and a little bit too bland.
ROBOT MODE:
Due to the shape of the alternate mode and how the robot keeps the same shape, Batterhead can appear just a tad bit chubby.
The smaller drums on the sides work well as bulky shoulder pads.
The head is not just a painted face like a lot of BotBots, so it actually has some decent sculpting and is not as big proportionally as some others.
Articulation is bad, even for a BotBot. Only his arms can swing out to the sides but pull it out any more and it doesn't look that great.
OVERALL:
Batterhead has a great alternate mode and a passable, if static, robot mode. The orange is not the best color to use to highlight the drum but it's still a pretty solid figure overall.
