Glacialord Part II - Tailclub

Ah, the Doedicurus.  As a kid, I always wished that I could have a toy Doedicurus.  Sadly, it never happened.  Thankfully, Fansproject has answered my prayers and made this a reality.

Who wouldn't want to play with this?

The idea to create prehistoric mammals as robots is really a stoke of genius.  Dinobots are pretty nifty and all, but we could always use more. 

Being a Doedicurus, Tailclub has an appropriately squat alt-mode.  I really like the gray and orange colors; they're really striking together.  He looks so adorable.  Definitely G1-styled, I feel as though I could've picked him up at a Roses or something.  It would've been nice to only pay $3.99 for him...

As with Fangro, the pilot is able to stand up in the slot on the beast's back.  I'm not really sure how I feel about this functionality, to be honest.  I think that it would look better if they had designed a way for the figure to actually sit.  The standing looks tedious.

Heres is Tailclub in robot mode.  The foot/backpack attaches to his shoulder as a shield and the tail and head combine to form a club.  I'm not really sure how a shoulder mounted shield is helpful in a battle, but it's nice to not have to worry about finding somewhere to store it while he's in robot mode.  Since he's G1-styled, articulation is limited to his arms at the elbows and the shoulders.  He is truly a combiner limb.

The shield can also be held in his free hand, which gives a better look, to me.  Now he looks like a Roman warrior.  If I had more of them, I'd do a Phalanx. 

Here's Tailclub in his limb mode.  As you can see, he forms a leg.  It looks sturdy and it's reminiscent of one of Predaking's limb, with the animal head facing out.
