Spay-C (Go-Bots) Review

Spay-C
Go-Bots (Tonka)I unapologetically love Go-Bots. They are indeed mighty, as their tagline suggests.
Spay-C (not the most original name) was a sort of action politician, a council member who sometimes aids the Gobots directly. She was female in the cartoon universe, but male everywhere else. Depends on where you know her from, I guess?
As a space shuttle, this is quite impressive. A little simplified, but a well-built Challenger-era shuttle. Not having to worry about a purple train mode, they used correct wing colors. We even get retractable wheels!
Transformation is solid but worrisome; the hips are terrifyingly stiff. I thought I broke it 3 times. I'm not used to that with this much die-cast construction; not sure if that's a point in its favor or not.
Robot mode looks pretty good too. Most Super Gobots did. The forearms and hands are weirdly skinny, and the feet hollow, but the bulk of the figure looks great. From the front, anyway: she's got a mighty backpack there.
Despite being a very different transformation from the standard release, we still don't get a neck joint, but at least there's swivel/hinge shoulders. And nothing else useful, but it was 1983. This was average at least. You can actually manage a drunken-looking contrapposto stance, but that's not good for display.
Pretty highly recommended if you like Gobots. And keep her away from UV light; chances are she's already a little yellow.
