VEHICLE MODE: J-Seven (C-013)
is based on the 700-series "shinkansen" in Japan. This is the second
release in the Trainbots line-up. It is approximately 8" in length, 1 ½"
in height, and 1 ¼" in width and is the shortest of the three. Its primary
color scheme gray and black.
This train also has four sets of moving wheels, a number of blue
tinted passenger windows, a blue tinted windshield, and the logo "Rail Star
Cybertron" imprinted on both sides of the car. There’s also a hitch at the
rear for towing other trains and a porthole under the nose so it can be towed. The
hitch also becomes part of his weapon that will be described below.
ROBOT MODE: The first step in J-Seven’s
transformation to robot mode is to remove the top piece of the car by lifting the
"lips" on either side and pulling upward. This three-section piece will
become part of the weapon/shield. Next, separate the rear end slightly to remove the
weapon and extend the rear that forms the legs (sound familiar?). Now fold the side
panels (located towards the front of the car) to the front exposing the folded arms.
Now fold the nosepiece downward. The nosepiece now becomes part of the torso
and is folded downward a second time. You’ll now notice the head of J-Seven
that is tucked under the windshield. Flip the head upward into position and extend
the arms down. Moving towards the legs, extend the dark-blue rear pieces down and
out creating the front of his feet. And finally extend the trains wheels downward
that now form the rear of his feet.
His weapon is a Shield with a firing Missile-A.
Insert the missile in its socket, flip the two black triangular flaps upward, and flip
down the hand grip and viola! Depressing a button near the hand grip can fire the
missile. His weapon acts both as a shield (tilted downward) and a gun firing the
Missile-A (tilted upward). |
