Got my Stockade courtesy of Nigel !
Stockade is the last original mold in the Movie line. Stockade's a Decepticon SUV - think the Jackmobile from Torchwood. The only 'con markings on his mainly black body is the tiny logo on his radiator grill, and there are 2 Sector 7 Logos - one on each door.
TF: Fairly simple. Pull the roof of the vehicle sin 2 and fold out to the sides of the vehicle. Fold the undersides of the door up onto his back. Straighten the arms at the shoulder/elbow joints, and fold back the windows on the top and bottom of the arms. Fold the front of the car under the front and onto the back of the robot legs. Fold down the feet and extend the heel spurs. Spread the legs slightly so the feet are flat on the floor. Pull back the flap in between the 2 rear headlights on the shoulders which pops the head up auto tf style. And that's it.
The resulting robot is a mix of black, dark grey and pale grey. There's some clear blue plastic, and the usual touch of Allspark Blue paint. A very big broad upper body with thinner - but not absurdly thin legs. Articulation - bending ankles and knees, ball jointed hips, waist, neck, ball jointed shoulders, a bending joint in between the shoulder and the elbow and an opening hand. There's also 2 sets of joints that allow the shoulders to swing forward that are part of the TF.
Gimmick: Nice and simple: There's a slider on the back of each forearm. Pull these back and the hands extend about 2 cm. This increases the length of his already sizeable arms and enables you to get a pretty decent Monkey mode out of him.
Overall: Simple, but effective. There's just something appealing about him, he's a much more traditional looking TF than most of the Movie output. Get one.
