Toy Review: Transformers BotBots Wasabi Breath (Series 5)


Review: 
#633
Name:  Wasabi Breath
Brand:  Transformers
Allegiance:  N/A
Line:  BotBots
Year of Release:  2020
Size Class:  BotBot (Series 5)
Mold Status:  new

ALTERNATE MODE:


BotBots delivers again with never-before-seen alternate modes with Wasabi Breath transforming into a sushi.


The type of sushi is one that has a piece of shrimp on top of the rice, it actually looks really good.


As a BotBot though, Wasabi Breath is really small, above is a comparison against Legion Barricade.


A fantastic alternate mode, and the color scheme is spot on.

TRANSFORMATION:

Despite the unique alternate mode and equally unique robot mode, the transformation is quite boring.  Open the sushi in half in order to pull out the head and neck, close it back up and then flip down the legs and you're done.

ROBOT MODE:


Forgoing a traditional robot mode, Wasabi Breath transforms into a dragon!


It's a chunky dragon and little has been done with the body though, given that this is literally the sushi mode with four stumpy legs and a dragon head attached to it.


The head sculpt is good nonetheless, even the teeth is painted.


Wasabi Breath gains a little bit of height but is basically the same size as the alternate mode.  Above is a comparison against Legion Crosshairs.


Articulation is really bad, the only joint worth mentioning is the balljointed neck.

OVERALL:

Wasabi Breath is unique in that it has two imaginative modes.  It is slightly hampered with the simple transformation and static robot mode.
