ProfileAutobot Guzzle consumes Energon faster than any of his comrades. Back on Cybertron, this wasn't an issue, but on Earth he is forced to find alternative power sources. Decepticons take heed, Autobot Guzzle won't be stopped by a fuel shortage!REVIEWFunny story, but I have no concept of Guzzle as a character. Any Guzzle. G1 Guzzle was only an entity in the Marvel UK stories, aside from being one of the last survivors in Rhythms of Darkness - although not for very long. Movie-continuity Guzzle is even more of a nobody, with just a brief bio note that says little about the actual individual. So, why did I ever get this toy? Last Stand of The Wreckers. Despite that I have still not actually read the story to date, it was enough to know it made (G1) Guzzle a member of that typically ill-fated group. I've always appreciated the story telling mechanism of the Wreckers, as they were pulled together from several toy characters nobody was using, plus some comics-originals, and it actually made people out of them in the process. I really have to show some appreciation that this tradition still continues even in more modern Wrecker stories. The movie's Wreckers are an entirely different outfit of course, but it wouldn't be the first time I've tried to repurpose a movie toy in to a Classics setting. And you know what? It's actually a pretty good toy on top of all that. Continue to full review. |
