There is some black kibble on her back, it's not something which stands out at all - the black really helps. The layout works well overall - her legs work well and the split spoiler looks quite nice as her feet. This flaw of the mould is less of an issue here, even if it's still not quite right. So the slender waist and high shoulders do suit a female character such as this, although the mould itself isn't really designed as female. The pink face - which is accurate to the Gobot cartoon - is obviously quite feminine, as is the slender waist of this mould. It's a nice colour scheme, even if she doesn't have the lightpipe that Mirage has. Her three main colours are well mixed here and look pretty good in this layout. The Decepticon logo sits on her chest, as does the black "1". The red is present on her torso, forearms and boots while her head is black with a pink face and white eyes. Unfold the arms and swing out her fists, give her the airdam as a handheld weapon.įracture is now a fairly even mix of white and black, with the black concentrated on her limbs. Fold down the shoulderblades, swing the nose down to form her chest and reveal her head. Swing the sides out to form her arms, rotate the waist. Lift the rear, pull out to form the legs, split the legs and fold up the spoiler to form feet. Granted she doesn't really look especially feminine, but it's not hard to see Crasher here. The concept repaint of this repaint is quite innovative and the execution is good. It's difficult to see how the designer could have put too much play value here without compromising the toy. As a minor bonus, if you look inside the cockpit, Fracture's head sits in front of the seat, sitting low enough that you have to look to see his face.Ī simple yet effective car mode. I can't see how the designer could have put too much relevant play value in here without impacting on the Transformer itself, so I'm not really worried about the lack of play value. Fracture does roll reasonably well on her tyres - and mine rolls straight, which is nice. There's no real play value here, other than the rolling wheels. The front support struts are painted black and there are twin black exhausts at the back on either side, rounding out her detailing. The vehicle slopes up - the base of the spoiler is much taller than the front of the car, and there are some air intake vents moulded around the cockpit region. The original Crasher toy was a Le Mans racer, however Fracture is similar to G1 Mirage's car mode - the enclosed cockpit brings this toy a little closer to that Le Mans racer but it's still clearly a different style of racer.
It's not especially feminine - at least not by Transformers standards - but the Gobots line never felt the need to assign gender based on colour. The actual colour scheme works well, too. The colours are sufficiently different that she doesn't feel like Mirage, and close enough to those of the Gobot that those familiar will pick the tribute. She sports the number 1 on the airdam in black and on the sides in white. She sports black plastic tyres, a smoky transparent canopy, silver wheels and a silver Decepticon logo in front of the canopy. I'm not sure why the designer had to go with Decepticon Fracture rather than Crasher, but either way the tribute is obvious. A black racer with white on the airdamn and spoiler and red around the enclosed cockpit, Fracture is a repaint of Classics Mirage based on the Gobot Crasher.
