Welcome to Kimia Room 113 Devastation part 6, Scavenger

​The Devastation of Room 113 is almost over and this weeks review is the last of the individuals I'll be talking about.
Picture
​This week we'll be talking about Scavenger. 
He transforms from an excavator into a robot. He also forms Devastators right arm. 
He's molded in the standard Constructicon greens and purples just like his 5 "friends". 
As with the rest of the boxset he has sculpted detail all over as well as some nice paint apps in both modes.

The excavator is a good alt mode, much like the rest it isn't anything spectacular,it's a decent representation of his G1 alt mode. You can move the arm around but the scoop doesn't move seperatly. Yet again it's something that would've been on a seperate release but had to be sacrificed to keep within a titan class's budget. Unlike the other arm bot, Bonecrusher, there is a good mix of the green and purple on show. Green on the top and purple on the bottom. I like the split, it works. Match that with a few paint apps splashed here and there and it works.

When you transform Scavenger your final product is a great figure. You get a reveal of his chest and head which both look great. The way everything folds together to form the upper body is pretty sweet. It takes what could just be two flat shapes folded out to stand up and makes a decent robot shape with it. 
He's probably got the second best articulation of the whole team, he only loses out on the top spot because his shoulder joints are so loose. He can hold his arms up but he can't hold up the missile pod that I usually give him (more on that later). If I finally find a bottle of the floor finish stuff that isn't a ridiculous price (seriously! It's 6 bucks for a bottle and I'm not even going to use that much of it! All I need is a little bottle of the stuff!) I'll get the ball joints fixed. 
The head sculpt is pretty cool. Much like the rest of the team it's black with silver paint and red eyes. I especially like the "box plate" face guard he has. 
As I mentioned earlier I usually arm Scavenger with the other missile pod. The problem is with his shoulders being so loose he can't hold it up. I tend to have him lean it against his leg to fire it. 

Scavenger is one of the better members of the team but he's not my favourite. He's good, real good, maybe even solo release good. 


Next week the Devastastion draws to a close when we finally get to the big guy. All that needs to be said is....
​
CONSTRUCTICONS! MERGE FOR THE KILL!
