Transformers Car Robots: Baldigus (Complete/Boxed)

Baldigus is a redeco and slight retooling of the Combaticon molds from Generation 1. As the original mold set is a “Scramble City” style of combiner, team leader Dolrailer (Mega-Octane) forms the super robot torso, while the four other robots—Dangar (Armorhide), Greejeeber (Rollbar), Hepter (Ro-Tor), and Shuttler (Movor)—can form any limb. There is, of course, a “default” configuration, or in this instance, two:

Flight Mission— Right arm: Movor, left arm: Ro-Tor, right leg: Rollbar, left leg: Armorhide

Land Mission— Right arm: Armorhide, left arm: Rollbar, right leg: Ro-Tor, left leg: Movor

In the cartoon, he is usually depicted in the Flight Mission configuration.
The main retooling to Baldigus involves him now being able to assemble two hand-held super-weapons using all of the weapons and accessories from all of the component robots. He also has a full back now owing to the ability to store his ramp on his cannon-backpack thanks to a new 5mm post-hole in the cannon-base and new 5mm post on the ramp underside. It’s spiffy. This same functionality also lets him use the ramp as a (somewhat awkward) hand-held shield.

The five Baldigus components were available both as individual releases, or in a five-robot multi-pack. However, the multi-pack version came only with the bio card for the combined form, available nowhere else, and had none of the individual cards. This version of the team has mustardy-golden combiner kibble and a desert-deco tank component “Dangar”.

Released in 2000 Baldigus is a slight re-mold of the Generation 1 Combaticons, and has a slightly different deco than his American release in the Robots In Disguise line. The figure comes complete with all accessories, paperwork, box/tray. The box does show a bit of wear from age/storage but will still display well if you choose to do so.
