What if, and I mean a big IF, his head is actually the projectile. What if, his head actually shoots off of his body. And about the "boy part", I believe that is there just for fun. It has no actual bearing on the figure whats so ever. ;D

Who'd have imagined that they'd choose Transformers- technically they don't have genders since they're robots- as the first mainstream line of anatomically correct action figures.

No, we agree, it's just semantics. I mean push on his back (like behind his shoulder blades), not his buttocks area. as for the rotation of the arms, yes, probably right that the arm flail is not going to happen, but as I look at the arm sockets, it seems kinda large, so I conjectured that there may be a purpose (sinister or otherwise ;D ) in oversizing the holes. I think in reality that Hasbro is FINALLY getting wise to the fact that breakage is an issue (this is regarding KISS methodology) and the evidence is the new shouldder-hinged strikers such as Sabretooth that are far less prone to damage..

Let's recap: "So he's a prodder or a shooter?" "Sounds that way."

A prodder he is. The second theory is that he's just a fancy prodder that activates when is pressed down. The downsides to this theory is why go through the length to make it all fancy if he just prods, how dumb would it would look to have a T-Rex with a giant neck at any point in the game (even if it is just for an attack. I agree. I did a little design of the Reek from the arena scene in Attack of the clones with a butting head and I purposely designed him so that he wouldn't have a stupid looking elongated neck after he attacked. Next you TF attacktix fans need a robot Grimlock with a huge fist to bring some more strikers into the game.

Sorry guys, but all your theories are incorrect. He's obviously the next step in evolution of Attacktix - he's a flamethrower! My guess is when you push him down it ignites the lighter fluid inside the inner chamber and torches the other Attacktix in front of him. You may laugh, but mark my words...

NONONONO....he doesn't ignite anything, especially some sort of combustible liquid. That would be dangerous. In fact, he blows sodium powder from one side, and tap water from the other, causing a burst of white hot flame to ignite! Binary components was the way to go - no safety hazard!
