Title:
Demolishor 1st Robot Mode
Description:
Demolishor (Voyager Class, 2009)
TakaraTomy ID number: RD-03
Known designers: Eric Siebenaler (Hasbro)
Demolishor transforms from a red Terex RH400 mining excavator into a unique robot mode via a surprisingly complex transformation. His Mech Alive gimmick in robot mode is a drum in each arm that spins when you move his lower arm (not in the shoulders as the packaging call out states). He has real rubber treads that sadly can’t move, and no little plastic wheels that help it move either. He is almost impossible to stand up—let alone pose—but it can be managed.
In the film, Demolishor’s vehicle mode features a lot more white. This toy’s colors are actually a match to Scavenger’s colors.
Like several Revenge of the Fallen toys, such as Voyager class Starscream and Leader class Optimus Prime, Demolishor is yet another victim of late mold changes due to 2008-2009 economic problems. On the back of the box, his treads are pictured as being made of several individual, linked plastic sections. The sections were apparently recast as a single rubber tread ring for the final toy. Unfortunately, over time, this rubber material doesn’t last. It tends to eat away at surrounding plastic, a process that manifests as strange distortions on the mold wherever the rubber rests.
