Studio Series Mixmaster (SS-69)

Mixmaster is part of the Studio Series Devastator (SS-69) giftset.

With Mixmaster we return to the really weird robot modes, as he’s basically a robot that consist mostly of arms. The look is very close to that of his ROTF predecessor, though the parts of the mixing drum are not quite as nicely integrated into the arms here in the Studio Series version. Mixmaster has two additional tiny little arms on his chest (which I forgot to fold out during the pics, I must admit) and relatively short legs, giving him a pretty weird silhouette. Articulation is pretty good, he can pull off a nice evil-genius-hand-rub pose, but overall I’m not too sold on this robot mode. Lacking the third mode he had in ROTF (a cannon mode), Mixmaster transforms into a (surprise) mixing truck and might just be the most realistic-looking of all the vehicles. He even has that tiny little hood ornament he sported in the movie. Nicely done. So bottom line: not a great robot mode, but an excellent vehicle mode.

Now return to Studio Series Devastator (SS-69) to read about the other Constructicons.
