    He longs to be reconstructed into an interstellar spacecraft so he
    can explore the vast gulfs of space, feels he's a prisoner of gravity
    in his present form. In jet car mode, goes from 0 to 500mph in 8
    seconds. Cruising speed: 300mph. Has twin infra-red scope missile
    launchers. In robot mode has blinding light-burst gun. Combines with
    fellow Technobots to form Computron.

Color Scheme:

Red and white with some dark gray and silver accents. Well designed and balanced. No complaints.

Robot Mode:

Eh. He's got the low articulation problem of most of the original line, particularly the small toys. His arms are pudgy, his legs are connected with one big foot unit, and his tiny block head (used in the gestalt formation) is just that. Nothing to write home about.

Vehicle Mode:

Pretty spiffy looking sports car. I don't think it's supposed to look like anything other than a sleek, racey sports car thing. Not really Cybertronian, but definitely futuristic.

Transformation:

Pull out the hood to form the legs/foot, fold back the tail to reveal the head, and rotate the sides forward to become the arms. Simple.

Pros/Cons:

He's ok as a gestalt unit, but kind of lame by himself.
