Earthrise RUnabout Review

So, Earthrise Runamuck had a few issues. Thanks to the unexpected kindness of two fine gents in our community, and since I don't live in the US, I am blessed to be able to look at Runabout. The real question though is whether or not he is an improvement over his battlecharger partner-in-crime!

I had a buddy help with this guy but am keeping my eyes peeled on TRU to try to help other collectors.

Transformation should have used all 4 real wheels for the feet. Just a lazy design imo.

Does it matter? It would have definitely taken more engineering. I wouldn't call it lazy as it is but to each thier own.

Imagine the linkages required to bring the back wheels to the front.

Re: Earthrise RUnabout Review

We've had plenty of very intricate and clever transformations at the deluxe level over the years. This is far from impossible to do.

Meh I really like the mold. Lots of fun. Looks great. A little massage finicky in vehicle mode but far worse crimes.
