After a few too many attempts by Megatron to use his personality against him, Side Burn decided to turn the tables on the deceiver with his own deception. Using spare parts from the Spychanger repair bay and a regular terran sports car, he built himself a decoy. Controlled remotely by Side Burn, this decoy can drive at high speeds with good performance, and even transforms into a robot. However, the robot mode doesn't really look like Side Burn...the decoy is intended mainly for use in vehicle mode. The decoy is armed with a simple laser rifle, and has indifferent combat skills when not directly controlled by Side Burn.
- Color Scheme:
- In car mode he sports a nice blue coloration with white and blue flames, a red Autobot logo, and gold painted windows. In robot mode, white leg plates, a white gun, and orange mid section and head are added to the mix. Oh yeah, his wheels are black with gold hubs, which is worth noting since the other Spychangers have chrome hubs.
- Robot Mode:
- Pretty much nothing like his deluxe sized namesake, but everything like his Spychanger counterparts. Over sized chest, stubby arms, unstable feet/legs, and a tiny little head. This is the main reason Dave went with a "drone" spec for this toy (no official tech spec exists). He looks much better in vehicle mode.
- Vehicle Mode:
- A Dodge Viper... sort of. With appropriate accents it could be a Camaro, Mustang, or any number of other cool sports cars. But, since it's supposed to look like Side Burn, who is definitely a Dodge Viper, we'll say that's what this one is as well. Either way, he looks cool.
- Transformation:
- Pull down his feet, pull out his arms and flip down the chest. Ooh. For about $2.50, you can't expect much.
- Gimmicks:
- His gun is supposed to stow away under his chassis like the other new Spychangers, but either the holes are too big, or the peg is too small. It barely stays in his hands when you put it in there, and it simply falls right out of the hole in his underside. Some people have remedied this by putting a little tape on the peg, or other modifications.
- Pros/Cons:
- Cool vehicle mode, nice colors, but gun won't stay put in either mode.
