Trompliger rough-terrain driving units have been added to the front and back of the legs,
and they end up restricting the leg articulation, making standing poses a bit more awkward.

Together with the Scopedog Turbo Custom.
The Tromplicers make the Burglary Dog's leg poses a lot more modest..

This kit is the Burglary Dog, the second variation of the existing D Style Scopedog Turbo Custom. It's the unit piloted by protagonist Chirico in the 1994 Votoms OVA "Brilliantly Heretical," modified for desert combat.

The base body is identical to the existing Turbo Custom, with various weapons and gimmicks added on top. The backpack gets a 7-round missile pod and a Droppers Folding Gun, the weapons on both sides are changed, and Tromplicer rough-terrain driving equipment is added to the legs.

The Tromplicers can be spread forward and backward — the front section is reproduced as an articulated piece, while the rear section is implemented by detaching, rotating, and reattaching. That said, when the Tromplicers are folded up, they do make the overall articulation of the legs and feet feel pretty stiff. So as you can see in the photos above, standing poses come out looking more modest and reserved compared to a regular Scopedog. Put another way, the leg articulation just isn't as good ^^;

It doesn't come packed with a wide variety of weapons and accessories like the Sansa-sen spec, so pulling off lots of different weapon action poses is tough — but thanks to the unique Tromplicers, you can still get some fresh-looking stances out of it. Down Form can also be reproduced with the Tromplicers deployed, which is a nice touch.

It's a fairly niche item even within the Votoms universe, so honestly it's not the most mainstream kit out there. But for Votoms fans who are after every Scopedog variation they can get, this one's going to be a pretty prized addition to the collection. :-)
