Blog #2952: Toy Review: Mechanic Toys Poison (Transformers G1 Octane)

Mechanic Toys Poison (Transformers G1 Octane)

Accessories

Octane comes with a second face that looks like he just found out he was in the Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya and was about the get canceled.

Octane

Truck Mode: At Legends scale, I really would not have expected him to look this good. Octane looks great in truck mode. I will admit, he looks more like a box truck than a tanker, but still pretty darn good.

Jumbo Jet Mode: In jet mode, Octane’s front two thirds look great. That back third needed some more work, since it just looks like a flipped over truck cab tail fins slapped on the front, which is of curse, what it is. Not awful, but with a little more work, it could have been great.

Robot Mode: In robot mode Octane is pretty much perfect. I love his head sculpt.

Overall: Octane can be had for around $30, even less if you shop around. At that price, I highly recommend him.

Thanks for reading!

I’m 36 years old, and I work in network tech support for a public school system. I am a huge fan of Star Trek, Transformers, Harry Potter, and Marvel Comics as well as numerous other fandoms. I’m a big sports fan, especially the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots. I collect toys (mostly Transformers but other stuff too), comic books, and Red Sox baseball cards. I watch an obscene amount of television and love going to the movies. I am hopelessly addicted to Wizard Rock and I write Harry Potter Fanfiction, though these days I am working on a couple of different original YA novels.
