Title:
Mudflap Missing Missile
Description:
Mudflap (Deluxe Class, 2009)
TakaraTomy ID number: RA-15
Accessories: Smoke-shaped missile
Known designers: Hisashi Yuki (TakaraTomy)
Part of the third wave of Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe Class figures, Mudflap transforms into a rust-orange Chevy Trax. He transforms similarly to (but not exactly like) the Deluxe toy of his twin brother, Skids. He also has similar gimmickry; for example, his Mech Alive gimmick is also activated by pushing in the grill on his chest. This causes some panels in his chest to sway and his head to, uh, headbang. Additional Mech Alive action is engineered into his larger left arm. When his fist folds in towards his wrist, panels on the outside of his forearm spread and reveal a raising, spring-loaded missile launcher. In vehicle mode, this missile is stored through a cross-shaped hole on the rear bumper. On a sadder note, the clip which holds his chest to his back has a lot of trouble actually connecting, so you’re going to be stuck with just carefully posing him so that he doesn’t come undone. In addition, the wheels can be locked behind his extended kneepads, which shortens and squattens his legs to create a more screen-accurate model.
Mudflap initially came with a license plate that referenced his car model, "Trax."A running change variant later enlarged the license plate and changed it to "Mudflap”.The Japanese release only featured the later "Mudflap” version, skipping the earlier "Trax” version entirely. Both plates were apparently used for the movie (see notes below).
His feet are misassembled in the package. Swap them! The bigger, separated toe should be on the outside.
