Toy Review - Generations Tankor

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I always thought the Drone toys looked more like BM Tankor than the big one. Having said that though I have the big Tankor and think it's pretty cool.

As much as I like Tankor, this miniature version looks like a hat full of bumbs, so gonna pass.

Why Tankor? A real wasted opportunity creating a unique mould with limited repaint potential. Can't see anyone wanting to do go army building on this mould. I would have enjoyed a BM Tankor that's another repaint of CHUG Warpath. I hope they don't do a Quake repaint out of this mould.

Biases aside, he still feels like a good quality modern toy - solid joints and equally solid paint aps. A child may enjoy this. Maybe.

Needed to be at least Voyager sized...

One of the few misses in the Generations line, I still got it cause is was in a case with Rattrap which was a hit...

Personally I reckon they could get a half decent Jetstorm from a retooling of classics Cyclonus

My initial reaction was overwhelmingly negative, Tankor is a pretty terrible transformer. However I have had this guy sitting on my bedhead for the past month or so and I can't help but pick him up and toy around with him at least a few times a week without any feelings of anger or disappointment. My conclusion is, despite his many shortcomings, he's a pretty decent toy.

So while he's not the most glamorous transformer; I have bestowed upon him the title of 'Oddly endearing robot'

I don't mind it, it's association with a certain Best Wars Character made it worth getting IMO.

it is a simple transformation but it's still reasonable and looks like it should in both modes. I did find him to be lacking in the detail department so I added some lines, one of the first things I've ever done Gundam style line markings on:





I think it makes him look a bit larger

I have the Takara Tomy version, and I didn't think I'd like it. But strangely enough, I got more excited about it when all our stock arrived then when I had some of the Mp's...Weird I know... Maybe it's the awesome G1 style boxes they are using now. I don't know, but I love it anyway and I definitely don't regret opening it
