Title:
Longview 2nd
Description:
Longview (Real Gear Robots, 2007)
TakaraTomy ID number: MA-08
Part of the first wave of Transformers Real Gear Robots, Longview transforms into a set of yellow binoculars. While he is constructed to allow light to shine all the way from the lens to the eyepiece, the image is way too small and blurry to see much of anything.
He features a flip-up/down panel that reveals a viewscreen; the Hasbro version shows Cybertron Crumplezone in assault-vehicle mode (though upside-down), while the Takara version has Bumblebee’s head and shoulders (oriented right side up). This panel is accessible in both binocular and robot mode; the panel forms his chest in robot mode, meaning he can open up and tilt his head down (via the transformation joint) to take a look at it... but with the Hasbro version’s upside-down sticker, he’s looking at an upside-down image. Oops.
Like all Real Gear Robots toys, his robot mode is apparently at 1:1 scale... but he is a dang small pair of binoculars.
This mold was also used to make Farsight T-20.
