Toy Review - Studio Series Hightower

[SharkyMcShark]

I'm interested in seeing what Hasbro/TakaraTOMY do with Overload - there are two concept versions by artist Ben Procter. One has four arms and two legs (here is a version with Procter's name on it), and the other has four arms and four legs. There is also Scavenger, Demolishor's red-coloured twin brother.



It would have been nice to at least have a 5mm port, so someone could give Hightower another robot's weapon.

I supect two legs might be more practical. There are also version of the design floating around with two arms, two legs, and a scorpion tail too, so what the final Studio Series version looks like is anyone's guess.

SO I totally understand the complaints about this guy, but honestly I love that he's so freaking wacky (the first word I said when I actually opened him was 'nuts'). Though the lack of sideways movement of the head is a shame, the tread and crane arm add a lot of character, and personally he's my new fav of the constructions because he just looks so weird and alien (though Scavenger was always my favourite of the bot modes seen in the films so I think he'll top that)... but once all the parts arrive I think they'll be staying in combined mode anyway.
Crane mode is fine, looks realistic and fits with the others.
Definitely recommended !
