Cybertron / Galaxy Force Landbullet (Part 2)


This week, we continue on Landbullet in Robot mode.

Robot mode


If you are expecting Landbullet's robot mode to be as streamline as his vehicle mode, you are in for a big surprise. In fact, his robot mode is far from it and actually looks more like a gorilla. His shoulders are broad and his upper body is very bulky. These coupled with his huge forearm and tiny lower limbs sums up the gorilla resemblance.


The designer is smart to relocate his thrusters and engine to his back as if he is carrying a jet pack.


Despite having an indifferent body proportion, Landbullet stands very well and is amazingly well balance. This is due to the well design feet that has elongated toe and sole to prevent him from toppling.

The Head Shot


In my opinion, Landbullet has one of the best head design among the characters in the Galaxy force series. He looks to be wearing a crown like helmet and his face is painted gold with some wavelike design on his cheek making him look extremely badass. He comes with a jaw like mouth that is movable (WOW!) which surely improve his playability value.

Details 

The designer certainly did not skimp on details. Let's have a closer look at them.


Look at that huge forearm and the well detailed cockpit turn chest plate. Notice the pipe designs on the side of the cockpit appears to look like ribs.


Nice details on the engine and Cyber key area. 

Force ignition


Landbullet's Speedia Cyber key is transparent red in color with silver paint apps on the perimeter. In robot mode, the cyber key inserts into the key slot from his back.


Upon insertion, the thrusters flipped forward and become his shoulder cannons. Very impressive, I must say.


Landbullet might not have the brain but he certainly has the firepower. 


As mentioned earlier, despite having a heavy upper body, Landbullet stand firm in various pose without any difficulty. 

 


I am quite surprise by the amount of multiple joints he had. I do not have much difficulty in making him pose in various way. 


Playability is high for this big and bulky voyager class figure.

Summary 

Landbullet wasn't my favorite initially but my liking for him grew after I played with him. Being a voyager class toy, he comes in a good size to hold and play with. His high play value is largely due to the well design joints and detail consideration of his weight distribution that made him able to pose in various way.
