Review 1199 TRANSFORMERS SUPERLINK SANDSTORM SD-03 SANDSTORM (cyclonus) Much like Demolisher, ive owned the original armada deco for a while, and am quite fond of these two molds, ad while I'd be very excited if HasTak made faithful updates to the two characters in whatever future generations line comes in the future, if can't bring myself to cut these molds out completely because thay are quite fun and hold a lot of sentimental value. So I got the rarer Superlink figures relatively cheap on Buyee, among other things! And much like Demolisher/Ironhide This is one of the better aged mold compared to a lot of the original Armada Line up! With plenty of forward/backward articulation and even a waist swivel and ab crunch! Unfortunately outward movements and rotations on any of the limbs is virtually nonexistent. Despite that however hes weirdly expressive Despite the limited motion. How about gimmicks? He's got plenty! The accompanying Crumplezone can act as an extended cockpit and gunmount for the front, as well as being able to attach to various minicon ports on cyclonus' body that can either launch missiles or reveal flip-out cannons! Though the central gimmick hes built around is a trigger on the tail, which when pulled spins the propeller blades on a geared mechanism that also goes all throughout the body and into a little slot in the front with exposed gears on the bottom, several minicons released in the line have an accompanying gearbox that can fit into that slot, and when the triggers pulled it activates some sort of motion gimmick, like spinning saws and drills or mimicking gunfire! Its a complex mechanism for a simple effect but damn does it add so much fun to this thing! Overall this is definitely one of the best molds the armada line had to offer! And this white camo deco from energon is pretty great too! Though the blue and tan of the original is iconic. Hopefully it sees the light of day again!
