REVENGE OF THE FALLEN VOYAGER MIXMASTER

This figure is from 2009. He appeared in the movie as the constructicon leader. There were two Mixmasters in the movie. This one did not form Devastator but the other one which was just a mix truck formed Devastators head.
He was one of the Decepticons that went to the bottom of the ocean to reserrect Megatron.
He was killed by Jetfire in Eygpt who chopped him in half and then smashed his head off with his walking stick but this was not the end for Mixmaster as he appeared in Dark of the Moon Video games. I don't know why as he was supposed to be dead! This might be an error on the makers part.
He was also killed in the game by Ironhide. Hopefuuly for good this time but in the fourth movie he might just come back.

 

BIO; Resident chemist and explosives expert for the elite among the Decepticons, Mixmaster has spent his entire life learning all there is to know about chemical interaction. He can make thousands of poisons, explosives, and deadly gasses from the materials around him. The other Decepticons rely on him to fashion powerful warheads for their missiles, and dangerous venoms in which to coat their blades.

His vehicle mode is actually nice and is one of the best in the line. Even the undercarage kibble is not that bad. In the movie he was in different colours and he did not have giant Decepticon insignias on his mixing drum. This takes away from his "Robots in Disguise. He is also missing the hood ornament of the dog with the head shaped like the insignia. In its place is just a ordinary one. I suppose I am nit picking. He is nice though

 

It is nice that he has the cement shoot on the truck and other such details on his truck mode to make him realistic

 

Now we get to transformation. I find it so frustrating . It takes about two hours to get him back to vehicle mode as there are not instructions.

When he is in robot mode he has such long arms he is like an orangutan

He is unstable in robot mode

He is full of loose parts and his mixing drum comes off easily

His face is like many others and needs more imagination.

His dark purple light piping does not work so he looks dead.

He has big long curved claws. Why?

The giant hollow cab hangs off his back making him back heavy to add to the problems with standing him.

The cannon keeps firing when you are trying to transform the figure which can get annoying.

The legs are odd and you can see the screws. Have tried it the other way but they look scrunched up.

He has a bulky body but with the added bulk he looks terrible.

The wheel sections just hang off his arms and jiggle around.

 

The ground artillery mode. In the movie he transformed and did a handstand but he is a nightmare to transform as a figure. No one seems to be able to follow the instructions. God!!! It is hard to get this to look good. It is stupid and you cannot get it to look like he did in the movie. You can get him to look like a tank but only sort of.

 

Good for parts for other figure customs but I really do not like this figure, except in truck mode for display. It is way over complicated. He is totally inaccurate for the movie collection.

I really do not reccomend him.

They even did a repaint of him in garish green and purple as though he did not look stupid enough. It looked horrible++

 

Do not get this for younger kids but if you want to get it beware if hours of frustration.

 

I feel totally ripped off.
