Transformers Tech Specs
You cannot imagine, without having seen a photo, how ugly this toy really was. The cab and chassis of the van detached from the rear and transformed into a skinny "robot" with flimsy arms, boxy feet, and a windshield for a head. The rear of the van turned into this boxy mobile tank-like thing with a mounted laser gun which the robot stood on to give him some semblance of strength. It didn't work. The cartoon completely replaced this robot mode with one that looked much more human, and we were all glad for it.
