This little bot has an extra hinge on the back that allows the upper fuselage to open 90 degrees away from the body. Does anyone know why?
Is there a secret gestalt mode, maybe a base connector? Seems weird.
I suppose if it is opened it recreates the G1-style shoulders look, albeit with a cement mixer poking out his butt. Here's my Starscream version for reference.

Really just there to replicate the Planet Key gimmick of the full size toy. https://images.app.goo.gl/5PCHamJafEk9cuDa8
