Super mode
Robot mode
Truck mode
Battle truck mode
Base mode
HiQ Robot mode
HiQ Engine mode
His super mode is fairly big compared to most figures in the line. The white shoulder guns when angles upwards can be the exhaust pipes for this mode or swung down for extra weaponry for this mode.
His super mode head is a completely separate piece and you can store it in the trailer in vehicle mode.
You need a HiQ to transform him into robot mode.
His feet in ordinary robot mode are stuck together but he is still posable. His arms can move up and down.
His chest in robot mode is not the front of the truck but is cartoon accurate. The real front is on his back.
In base mode HiQ can sit on one of the white guns.
If you have a second power master partner he can also sit on the gun but he will not slot on like HiQ.
His trailer does look a lot more armoured than the original and it looks great in armoured mode.
The trailer and the part that hitches it becomes a laser gun for base mode.
He does have very tight ratchet joints and I am always nervous when I have to splay his legs out to get him into Base mode as they can make awful noises.
He is one of my favourites and is a good figures. He can be expensive to find complete but bits are always available. I bought mine incomplete and I collected the missing parts over the years.
