I only got him because he’s a direct homage to G1 Fangry. I recommend this figure for kids due to the ease of play, and I highly recommend this to collectors that grew up playing with transforming robots in the 80s.įangry is another Titan Master that I consider more of an accessory than a full-fledged figure. The two can be combined into a super rifle. Stormshot comes with two weapons, a handgun and a medium size rifle. They go through many folds, then collapses on itself. The only original mechanics here is how the nose cone and wings form the back. Feet and hands flip out from where they usually are like so many TFs before. Arms simply rest on the sides in alt mode. And he transforms exactly like you would expect, which is not necessarily a bad thing. In both mechanics and design, Stormshot is a throwback to the Transformers of yore. The head design and overall color scheme is near identical. But take a look at Armada Red Alert, and you can bet your boron compressor that Stormshot’s design aesthetics is based on this Red Alert. I know nothing about Transformers Armada or this Red Alert, since they came around during my TF hiatus. While looking through Transformers Wiki one night, I stumbled upon Armada Red Alert. Stormshot’s mechanical design borrows heavily from G1 Aerialbots, and perhaps even some GoBot figures, like Fitor. I took one took of his overall motif, and I’m immediately reminded of Transformers (Diaclones) and GoBots (Machine Robo) in their early days. So why did I buy this figure? He evokes heavy 80s nostalgia of a time when transforming robots were fun and simple. I know nothing about this character, and I know next to nothing about Robots in Disguise.
