Mindset

Reveal the Shield - My first Autobot review. This is another repaint model of the Revenge of the Fallen Hailstorm (Decepticon). The original was a green colored livery with a different headset. Mindset is a blue and black livery. A bit bigger than Jetblade but much smaller in size than other deluxe class.

Bio

Change does not sit easily with Mindset. He likes things the way they are, and it is the weight of tradition that drives his opposition to the Decepticons. They upset the balance of things, an offense for which he can never forgive them. The only alteration with which Mindset is comfortable at all is that wrought on the landscape by one of his missile barrages.

Vehicle Mode

Interestingly, the track is just a decoration. The movement is generated by a small set of wheels. It features a missiles holster. This missile holster holds 8 missiles altogether and it can be rotated 360 degrees. The only disadvantages were, there were no spring or special button to execute the ballistic weapon. You have to push it and the range are not that quite interesting.

Transformation Mode

The transformation mode was a bit intermediate. There are some parts that really need a bit of force especially the head part. Due to the heavy load it carry in its shoulders, you will have to adjust the legs in order for it to stand correctly. Mindset is quite a midget actually. With big hands, small legs and small head; he looks very uninteresting. But the quality and paintwork in this model makes it says otherwise, especially for collectors who already purchase Hailstorm.
