We’re kicking off the next wave of our gallery updates of the most recent assortment of Combiner Wars toys, and this time we are focusing on Combiner Wars Legends Wave 5. Leading off with our coverage on this assortment, we’re giving some love to the Decepticon spy, Buzzsaw!
A new mold, Buzzsaw is a pretty cool little guy. A triple changer, he can switch between smartphone, vehicle, and condor modes, and this is a really clever move on Hasbro’s part to do a “real gear” Transformer while also offering an alternate mode that you can “play” with. The vehicle mode – a forklift type thing – is the weakest mode, but there’s an alternative transformation to make it into a tank if you rotate the forks up and plug some guns into the 5mm ports. The smartphone mode is nicely detailed, thanks to three stickers making up the screen (though they do not seem to adhere well on the edges). Bonus points for the headphone socket actually taking a headphone jack! The condor mode is classic Buzzsaw, the design is spot on as far as reinterpretations go. I was a little disappointed that the wings could not lift up, though, and that the feet are fixed in one position, which limits display options.
All in, though, Buzzsaw is a neat little Decepticon, and a nice look at the new series of Blaster and Soundwave minions coming our way later this year under the Titans Return banner. Check out our shoot of Buzzsaw by opening the link below:
