Synopsis:
The Autobot Battle Patrol (Micromasters) are captured by Thunderwing, so Emirate Xaaron sends the Race Car, Off Road and Rescue patrols to destroy the Battle Patrollers to prevent Thunderwing from learning the secrets of Micromaster technology.
Rant:
The Generic guy is a cocky, but neat looking Transformer who gets blown to smithereens by the Micromaster Flak. There's something about him that's charismatic, and for some reason I like him, even if he is just a stereotypical 'stupid guard'.
On the other hand, there are some problems with the design of this generic Transformer. Like so many others he really lacks any features that suggest an alt mode of any sort. The inclusion of a Decepticon insignia is a very nice feature, though.
The other thing one observes is that this Decepticon has more than just a passing resemblance to a teddy bear. It's not just his round face, or his cute 'ears', it's the fact that he spends most of the time smiling and laughing... and he's just so big and cuddly! You gotta love that in your Decepticon generics!
