The
transformation sequence is a little different, with the lower-rear of
the car forming the legs, and the front the arms, with the roof becoming
the chest. It's sort-of upside down from a lot of transforming cars
(though it's not completely unique, I'll grant you). It's a bit more
complex than your average small Gobot, though nothing particularly impressive
in the grand scheme of things.
Despite
this, there's something that I'm just not that keen on about this guy.
He looks alright, despite the red making him look a little plain, and
the articulation is no worse than anything else in the same bracket
(rotating shoulders and that's it), but there's just something underwhelming
about him. Street Heat isn't particularly impressive, and yet is just
that bit too large and poorly proportioned to match the admirable simplicity
of a lot of Gobots. The arms are a bit too short, while the legs are
big and chunky. The figure also feels a bit brittle, especially the
hollow legs, all the diecast being concentrated in the chest. The end
result is much like the vehicle mode - he just looks a bit bland, even
with the circuitry stickers on the shins and the added silver.
